Re: How bad would it be to fold every hand on levels 1-3 in a 10+1?
Well over 61 tournies (my current 43 at $33s and the rest before at $50s), AA-QQ and AK have been worth around 250 chips to me in Lvl 1-3. 34-15, and some of those 15 have been pretty ugly.
If I include every hand I've played, Lvl 1-3 are worth around 30 chips more. This is obviously a small sample, and also consider the fact that my game has considerably improved during this period. Also had more suckouts than I should've.
Say you make it to the end of the 6th level on average, you are missing out on 1/2 of your monster hands. I know sngs aren't really about early play, but it should still make a difference. Folding doesn't take much effort, so why pass up on these hands?
*since I started playing again (35 sngs this year), the first 3 levels have actually been worth 377 chips each sng.
** 130 of those chips come from non AA-QQ&AK.
