Re: Playing from the blinds: J9o
Boy will I get flamed for this /images/graemlins/smile.gif ....
Check/fold the flop. Small pot. Weak hand. Draw-laden board. Early. Playing hands like this is a recipe for trouble.

SnG Table Selection: What do you do?
I'm very curious how others practice table/game selection for SnGs at the 55-109 level, if at all. Personally, I just don't. If I see an empty seat at my preferred limit, I take it.
It seems to...

Re: Stop and Go Criteria
What you really want to do is maximize your value, and that is accomplished in my example by a stop 'n' go rather than a straight push. You are correct that pushing is a good play (you get your $$...

Re: Stop and Go Criteria
No. Recheck my example (I set up all these chip counts to illustrate a "perfect" stop-n-go situation--I agree they're rare in STTs). You have 800 before the hand starts. You post 200 and call an...

Re: Stop and Go Criteria
[ QUOTE ]
More generally, you should be first to act on the flop and feel that you have no fold equity pre-flop, but some post-flop. It's also helpful if your hand has some showdown value.

Re: ($22) Stop N Go here?
IMO, the biggest reason NOT to stop-and-go is your lack of fold equity post flop. If I'm counting right, you have about T500 left and the pot is T900. So if you push, your big-stacked opponent will...

Re: $55: Top pair, late stage blind battle
I love the "tester limp" as well...but later in the game. It's much more important (to me) to know how the BB will react when 3-handed and heads up. With 6 left, I think it's far more important to...

Re: Good or bad?
I'd have put in a nice raise PF and tried to take it down there (to T200 or so).
Post flop, I like quite a lot and probably don't do this enough myself. You're likely ahead against an opponent...

Table selection and SnGs
I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I did a quick search and found nothing.
Question: As a practical matter, do you practice table selection at $55 & $109 SnGs? If so, how?

$55 NL SNG...Aces vs. Monotone flop
Anyone have a better line for this? 1st level (10/15) of $55 SnG, maybe 5th hand so no meaningful reads. EP this hand has approximately T950. I have about the same.
