Default Is there a different strategy between the $11 sngs and $22 sngs?

I've been doing well on the $10 party poker sngs since getting advice on this forum. Are the strategies much different for the $20 games?

No. They play almost identically. Same with the 33s, mostly.

A little.
I find the 33s significantly tougher than the 10s.

More FE in the 22s and 33s but more better players also. Better bubble play for the most part too.

They may be tougher, but I don't believe there is any significant strategy change when moving up from 11 to 33.

There are slightly less wackos who dump their chips off with A10 in the first round as you go up, and slightly more people who know what the bubble is, but at the 22s they play is still usually abysmal, just less bad than the 11s. If you can beat the 11s take a shot at the 22s. They are very beatable.

edit: you basically use the same strategy at the 22s as in the 11s, which was your question.

Yes, you must play twice as good. This is a very well-known formula. (Just divide the buy-in by your "base" level of skill, and use it to determine how much better you should play.)

For instance, say you are crushing the 11s, but you want to play the 215s.

215/11 = 19.54

This means you should adjust your strategy by playing 19.54 times better than you usually play.

You can accomplish this easily by loosening up quite bit, raising with speculative hands, and bluffing into 4 or more players. (Try to incorporate some "trapping" hands into your skillset, like KJ and QT.)

I've been using the utg-limpreraise all in with QTs at the 109s, it's been excellent so far. You don't get quality broadway suited cards that much, you really have to get it all in when you do, you know?

Yeah, that's very similar to gigabet's approach. As we have seen from his hand histories, this is an excellent way to "play the players" and frankly, if you get called, you have 2 suited cards that will probably take it down.

I make plays like this a lot. Another one of my favorites is to limp from EP with low PPs, and then RERAISE if raised.

Pokar is easy.

You never need different strategy, you need more strategy.

The strategy you use in the $11s underpins everything you'll ever do, even though by the time you reach the $15000s it will look very different to the casual observer.
