Limit SNGs

[The Yugoslavian]

Yes, if you've played 20-30 LHE STTs and can't spot enough poor play to take advantage of, then you should quit poker.

The thing is, you have spotted plenty of bad play and you *know* this. Hell, you can probably even tell without seeing the hands that go to showdown that too many are busting early in these things. But if you *do* look at the way hands are being played, then yes, you should be able to tell if they're beatable. I'm assuming you've played relatively low buyin limit STTs - watching 20-30 higher buyin ones may or may not allow you to come to a conclusion.

Any situation in a zero-sum game (ignoring rake, [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] )against players who you can out think and make 'better' decisions than will be +EV. I find it *very* hard to believe you are truly questioning your ability to make better decisions in these low buyin limit HE STTs...

1.7 as a SD is close to what it will be. I didn't say it was exactly this number. A range would be most appropriate in discussing this point I'd imagine. There are a few threads that deal with this in mathematical and non-mathematical ways...I'll find a couple and PM them to you.

I don't pretend to know advanced LHE STT strategy....the reason I think a higher ITM is possible mainly is due to the realtive ability of the players playing the games, not the difference between it being limit or no limit...given fields of completely equal strength (for the game) a very simliar ITM % makes sense to me intuitively...

But, while the limit and NL players are coming from the same Party Poker population, there are fewer experienced limit STT players (as there is less $/hr to be made there - so sharks don't bother) and the games are longer, giving worse players even more time to make mistakes.
