WSOP Free prize Stud Hilo
 

I am thinking of going to the WSOP Stud Hilop tourney they have a new low cost $1000 entry fee event.
I play a lot of Party Sit & goes in the $10 range. Out of 6 i normally finish:
1st 1
2nd 2
3rd 2
4th or 5th 1
I seem to have not issues getting down to the last three. I have issues apparently switching to a high game when we are three handed. You have to play less low drawing hands and more magde high hands.
Can i get some advice on playing stud 7 three handed please.

Due to the huge blinds relative to stack sizes on the PP SNGs you have to get really agressive when you pick out a decent hand. Try and bully a little more on the bubble when others are playing tight to build up your chip stack.

Good advice
Any more good advice? I am thinking of giving 1% of my earning in Stud 7 for the best reply posted assuming I go and play in the 2005 WSOP

Once tha antes get high you have to be thinking more about trying to steal the antes. Especially when you get shorthanded, you don't want to be limping in much, you should almost always be completing if your hand is worth playing because of the possibiblity of picking up the antes. Good luck

In other words, you’d like to get the best “free” advice that you can and then “may” play in the tourney and then “may” give 1% away for free.

Glad I’m not in a position to give you any best “free” advice, lol. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Your post mentions only the $10 SNG's. Do you play many, or any, at the higher levels? There's quite a bit of difference in the quality of play just between the 10's and the 30's, not to mention the 50's. I've never played a 100, as I've never seen one with more than one person waiting to play. High percentage ITM and ROI at the 10's is fairly easy to achieve, and it's easy to fool yourself based on your results in the 10's that you're a very good player that's ready to plunk $1000 down. If you haven't done it, play a lot of 30's and some 50's, and see how well you succeed at those levels. That's what I'd do before putting down $1000 to play a tourney, unless you're just doing it for the fun/experience.

I play in Party sit and goes as well, and I also have my fair share of success. Here is a bit of advice on the late sng strategy.

Where many people falter is they get really tight late in tournaments and fold way too easilly. What most people do not realize is that on 3rd street, a hand like 234 is not that big of a favorite over a hand such as 9TK. So they fold way too easily waiting for a hand like 234 to put all of their money in, and when they do, they arent really that big of a favorite. (note that if a low hand contains an A in it, that changes things dramatically as well as a hand such as 678. However most people would rather put their money in with 234 than 678 when 678 is the far better hand heads up.) Find what opponents fold to easilly (hopefully they are sitting to your left) and then raise when they bring in. If they give you action, you can often pick up the pot on 4th with a bet if they dont catch well.

It seems when the stakes get large, most opponents try to wait for a good starting hand to put their money in. So you have to understand that if you raise with junk against weak players, you can pick up a lot of antes late in the tournament. And usually when someone gives you action, youre not all that far behind. You just have to get a feel for when the right times to steal are and against which opponnents are the best ones to steal from.

Obviously big pairs are always worth a raise if you have the highest doorcard. If you have a big pair but there is another door card that is after you that is bigger than yours, be hesitant to raise. Id rather raise with junk when I had no pair but the highest doorcard than raise with a pair with a higher doorcard left to act.

All this being said, understand that WSOP has a much better structure than Party SNGs and youll have to adjust your play accordingly if you do play there.
