Re: How often should a solid player finish in each position?

I'm not talking about drawing with incorrect odds or anything, more along the lines of limping with hands like 75s on the button after 2 limpers...

This is a MTT habit you have to give up at the SNGs. The blinds increase much faster and the betting tends to be much more aggressive. Playing every cheap flop you can see is a great way to trap people in a MTT environment. You can bleed off 100-150 chips early looking for a great flop and you still have a workable stack and 40 minutes of low blinds. When you lose those chips in a SNG you put yourself in a bad place. Soon your needing to double up 2-3 times to make the money. Those lost chips should be doubling too. Not having them can have a big impact on your FE and limit you options severely. That 150 chips doubled three times is 1200. That makes a HUGE difference in your ITM potential.
I read somewhere a long time ago that hands like 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] are like potato chips. You can't have just one.
