Agree/Disagree

In a conversation with a fellow poker player about sng strategy, he summarized his theory: I disagreed STRONGLY with this...maybe i'm wrong, but please give me your opinions:

"the key in sng's is to never have to go all in. every person who is serious about sng's will tell you that"

"you can play hard with out putting all of your chips at risk"

"you should NEVER have to go all in without the nuts before the blinds get to 100/200 unless you are desperately short stacked"

talking PP sngs, 11's or 22's.

I go all in before the blinds hit 100/200 in the majority of my games. Much of the time with garbage.

Yes, but what do you think of the cheesy fiesta potatoes? I heard that they were a hidden treasure, but both times I've ordered them they've been pretty disgusting. Small sample size?

Disagree, example:

You have 7s 7d
flop comes 7h 8d Ts

I don't have the nuts but I'm still going go all in if possible.

Cheesy fiest potatoes? What, is that the new Dominos side dish or some crap? Sounds pretty nasty.

no sir, taco bell, and boy are they ever a hidden treasure.

Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I go all in before the blinds hit 100/200 in EVERY sng I play. Your friend can't be winning if he doesn't do this.

on the contrary, i've won about 7k playing sngs. (I'm his friend)

So you're saying, if the blinds are 50/100 and you have 700. You get 55 in the BB. Flop comes 25K, someone puts you all in, you're going to fold?

STT poker is all about accumulating chips without showdown. In short stack STTS, FE is king.

That has nothing to do with having all or some of your chips in the middle.
