Re: Tightening up wrong for low-limit SNGs?

Elsewhere I stated that I played mainly ring games until the last week or two.

Sorry, I missed that.

...I was basically, for example, calling raises with ONLY AA, KK, QQ, AKs/u and AQs for the first 3 blind levels.

I am not an expert on the really low level SnG's, but it doesn't sound like a big flaw in your game. However, by the 2nd and 3rd level you should be able to lower your standards for some preflop raisers. I imagine there will be a lot of very LAG preflop players at the 5's, and I should think you could punish them with less-than-premium hands and decent post flop play.

Is SNG software vital before I move up to $55 SNGs?

No, not vital at all. The consensus around here seems to be that posting hands and thinking is the best way to make sure you are playing right. Personally, I use poker tracker to keep track of my SnG's, and I find it very practical and saves me some time, but it is certainly not vital.
