I've been working on an experiment lately to help my game and I think the same experiment could help you as well.

I buy into a very low entry SNGs or MTTs (less than 1% of my bankroll), and I play almost every hand PF until I lose 50% of my starting chips. Yes, this is a losing strategy, but I am spending small $ to work on improving my play after the flop. I'll often be confronted with situations where I flop middle or bottom pair and I am out of position; IMO learning how to play problematic situations like these are what separates the good players from the great players. Playing trash cards like this also helps us to learn to fold more (as 7 high rarely wins a showdown), and of course since we're playing loose it helps us to get action when we do catch a big hand.

Of course this experiment also helps us to work on our short stack game - unless we can trap somebody early with a big hand. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
