I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on the true fundementals of the game and wanted to use the sit and go's to pratice, learn and gain experience.

SNG are quite a bit different from a ring game -- some would say there is much less skill involved in a SNG. |

A good cash game player folds and folds and folds, a lot. You can actually sit at a Party NL table and push all in with AA and make money. (Somebody will call.) I've got stats on rocks with 8% VP$iP who are making money. I doubt very many SNG players are making money seeing only 8% of hands. You have to play a bit more hands to make a little more money, but it can be done in a cash game. However, I doubt many SNG players can translate their skills into crushing a cash game. If anything, they'd LAG it up and get hurt. Different skill set. CJ |

Re: Frustrated gambler advice
I downloaded pokerstove and I really like it. Having an engineering degree, this kind of thinking has always been interesting to me. I will probably spend many hours dorking it out(thats what my wife calls it) [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] going over diffrent hands.
Thanks to everyone for all the good advice I have recieved in this thread. |
