End of a SNG

[Dubra]

Hi everyone,

Recently I have been playing a lot of 1-table satellites for big multi's like the million/200K etc. Since you can win multiple entries and get cash, I have been multi-tabling them. These SNG's are top heavy--with the winner gaining entry into the main event andthe 2nd place (usually, tourney dependent) gettng their money back. Now my play has been pretty decent, however the vast majority of my places have been second. I am struggling with heads up play. If i am short stacked, say having 1/3 or less than my opponent than i am willing to push with any A or K or pockets... is this a bad strategy. It seems when you get down to heads up and are short stacked, with blinds up every 9 or 10 hands, you have to get pretty desperate. what do you think of this strategy? one way to avoid this situaton is to get more aggressive 3 handed, but then i become worried about risking most of my chips versus a short stack who is desperate. thanks for the suggestions, or links to any other posts.
