i have recently accepted the fact that I am not as good as I think I am and set up a series of reasonable goals for myself to pull myself out of my crapola stakes.
SnG Observations to keep in mind:
1. For first 3-5 segments of SnG (till 100 or 200 blinds), play the mighty 19, and oddball lower suited connectors (in good position for a limp). Be very cautious, folding easily if not committed to >4 blinds.
2. DO NOT GO ALL IN Pre Flop without the big 4 (AA KK QQ) early on. And even then only do it vs. proven dingbats for AKs cause dangit it just aint a made hand.
3. Become much more aggressive with large stack after blinds >100. This was never obvious to me before and i often held on to my chips to the point of having a pansie table image that no one would call.
4. If there is an A on flop, with >3 players, assume someone has an A.
5. The Small Blind position sucks and i only play it vs 1 opponent, the BB, then i raise. It's lost money most other times. Or in general, I have in past month been much more intelligently aware of position.
7. 22 thru JJ ain't much without a flopped set.
8. Just freaking fold more pre flop. JUST DO IT.
9. For the right price, mix it up a bit and if something ends up stupid (for the right price) let your opponent see it so they also know you are stupid.
10. Fold More.
11. Have a complete count of my outs and if playing >3 people after flop, put opponent on a range of hands. EVERY TIME.
11. Fold More.
I have found my "zone"
Ring: N/L 6 max $5 or $10 buy in
SnG: 1-2 table turbos, preferring the $6 version. I also LOVE the 6 max turbos but these are $12 and are only an option after a few great wins on $6's above. The $3 10 man 1 tablers are where i fall back to when i crap on my bankroll.
I need to stick to the plan.
I play only at PStars.
