Re: Chapter 4 and Levels 1-3
[ QUOTE ]
When I played the 800 chip tourneys I was uber tight early. In the 1000's i'm a bit looser early on. Well if I am interpreting chapter 4 properly, sklansky is saying that this is not wise. In fact that I should be playing TIGHTER early on in the 1000 chip tourneys than in the 800 chip tourneys.

Well, your ubertightness wasn't optimal to begin with, so there's no point in using that as a reference point for how tight/loose you "should" be playing in a 109.
Also, I don't know of the context of the quote so I could be wrong, but it doesn't sound like he's talking about the deepishness of the stacks.

To recap the chapter, the higher the ante's (defind as ante's + blinds) the more hands you should play due to increased pot odds. The lower the ante's the fewer hands/tighter you should play due to the low pot odds.

Well, in a Party SNG, assuming everyone keeps the same standard opening raise through levels, your pot odds aren't changing at all, just your implied odds.

There is a claue that you want to take advantage of bad play in low ante games so play more due to this, but if anything the 1000 chip games have FEWER bad players.

Not all opponent mistakes can be capitilized on by playing more hands. Some you have to capitlize on by playing less hands.
Others you have to play more hands and make some moves.
