Adjustment to a SnG from LL

[sublime]

Occasionly I will jump into a SnG on party instead of playing regular table format Limit $10+1.

I see posts on here regarding play in NL tourneys, but what adjustments should a Limit player make in a tourney?

Sorry, I will ask a actual question.

I play LL games at PP. (.50/1) What adjustments to my game do I need to make to become succesfull at 10+1 limit SnG's?

The best advice is in TPFAP. Basically, play extra tight early, then when the blinds go up, remember the gap concept and raise first in with hands you'd normally limp with. You need to steal more often than in a ring game because you need to keep your stack from wasting away. There are also a lot of +EV plays in a ring game that you don't make in a tourney. Sklansky talks about going into check-call mode in a tourney in situations that, if it were a ring game, you'd bet and call a raise.

The key factor in a ring game is that you maximize your long-term EV. In a tourney, you must accumulate/conserve chips.

Some will, some won't defend there blinds with anything, Identify who's who and take advantage appropriately.

Other than that, the gap concept. read it, learn it, live it
