Re: alarming trend through my first 150 sng\'s
Most people suggest you should wait till level 4 to start stealing, and during levels 1-3 you should stick to QQ-AA, AK.
(I include JJ/AQs, but posters here feel that is too loose) With parties blind structure you are often blinded more then 3 times before reaching level 4. Its normal to have severals players lose their entire stacks on lvl 1-2.
Level 4 finally comes around and your the short stack with ~600 chips and 2-3 players have 1200+.
You start pushing and can expect to get called from time to time & lose, and that is why 5/6/7 will have a very high finish %. Its not that important because if your able to steal a couple blinds or double up your in great shape to finish ITM. The guys playing crap lvl 1 are the same people you need to beat on the bubble and finish first. Easy if you can get there. Infact making it to the 4-handed stage with a decent stack is WAY harder then going from the bubble to first.
