Who has a good strategy for SNG tourney's?

[Slayre]

I am going to approach this in a different manner...

I'm no expert, i've only recently starting winning more than I have lost, I generally play the 10+1sng's on party..

Take a deck of cards...deal out 10 hands, 10 times.... keep track of how many hands make sense to play before the flop.. keep track of how many pairs are dealt.....

on each set of 10 hands, pick the 3 best that you think are playable, then deal the flop......see which improved and which didn't.

no real need for turn or river with this exercise.

If you have not gotten pokertracker, do so. Also get a good book on poker, perhaps Theory of Poker by David Sklansky.

Ok, the first round, i buy into every unraised hand...with any hand, and ofcourse play the premium hands more seriously.

second round.. q8s,medium or higher suited connectors,no raises, is playable to me, plus any pocket pair.

once the third round starts, you prolly down to 8 or less players, blinds sting alot more....think bout that 100 hand exercise you did, and consider what people are most likely 'limping' in with.....this is where i tighten up and let the other 6 or 7 players take each other out...and again, playing my premium hands more seriously...

don't chase.... your pair of 7's prolly isn't any good with over cards on the board... paired board could mean FH for someone.... don't use the auto click options...... try to notice who is trying to steal blinds and if they do it alot, try to nip it in the bud....ie, protect your blinds I suppose is a bettre way to say that...

when you get down to 4 players... again, think about the 100 hand exercise.... cept, odds are, everyone pretty much has the same crap, only in different colors...shapes... if your short stack, you can't afford to wait for the perfect hand, you have to be aggressive... if your medium stack, or average, you still need to be aggressive just not as much...just remember, most likely, all 4 of you have crap hands....if your chip leader, keep in mind, this can change quickly...you can bully the short stacks, but, the average stack will prolly stand up to you....you have more time, to be more selective in the hands you choose to play, but, not all that much...

there ya go.. please forgive my neglect of technical terms...
