The Art Of Sit&Gos...vairence question

I don't really post much in this forum, but I find it amusing how many people ask questions about their short term variance. You would think the majority of America could answer these simple questions people are asking. I would expect any decent player to answer the questions you asked with ease. The fact that you even brought this question up after 12 sit n gos and 3 bad beats doesn't makes me believe you should quit, but does make me think you have little common sense.

Now all that being said, I'm not even going to address #2, 3 and 5. As for #4, I fold this raise most of the time, as you are almost always behind a set or 2 pair. As for the last question you asked, if over the course of hundreds of sit n go's you only get near the cash 20% of the time, i would assume you are a below average player. and again, anyone with common sense should be able to answer that with ease.

These are bad beats. The calls are possible because you have a limited number of BB. Look at why? Playing too loose, too tight? IF you have more chips ...

splash,
again man not trying to ruin everybodys night man, and this post can get deleted if its that big of a hassle, no problem I'm here to learn, there is more to sit & gos the obviously I know, but was wondering what you guys do instead of just push/fold.

Thanks for your input.

I would say that if you are at a table where you can push with great hands and get called then you should push. The only reason to raise less than a push is if you're afraid that the opposition will fold, but at a level where players will regularly call then you should push.
And whenever they call and catch and give you a beat, just remember that the fish every now and then need to catch, it'll give them all the more reason next time to call.

Greg Raymer said it best after he busted out of these year's WSOP. He felt good about his play because he went in with a nice edge.

Never second guess yourself when you go in with a big advantage. We all get horrendous beats - this is hold'em. The intrigue of the game is that bad beats happen!

Yesterday I was busted out twice with AA at critical times in an SNG. I just ante'd again and tried again.

If you consistently make good plays, you will be a winning player. The important lesson is that you have to shake off bad beats. Many regulars here will give you much grief over posting bad beats.

I assume you are a rookie. Keep your head up and keep making solid plays.
