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.
