Aggressive Enough in SnG's??

[Robb]

In the last 85 10-handed SnG's I've played ($2 buy-in and lower), I've got 13 firsts, 13 seconds, 12 thirds and 4 fourths. I read people who seem to be very good talking about aggression on the bubble, hoping to pick up chips to improve their winning odds. I make a conscious effort to stay aggressive, but I also try to avoid calling all-in, trying to be the one raising all-in if I have a good hand or good position w/ villain showing weakness. I'm 9-1 ITM vs. losing on the bubble. Am I too playing too passive near the end? Or am I just lucky right now? What are your experiences with ITM vs. finishing 4th? Maybe it's just lousy competition? Please advise.

If you stick to a tight aggresive style, then you will consistently win. It sounds like you are having an easy time, but that's expected at this level if you know even a little about what you're doing, and it sounds like you do. Welcome to FTR, and keep asking questions. Everyone here will do their best to help you stay ITM.

This is good. You want to be aggressive, i.e. be the aggressor. YOU want to be the one pushing people around, not the person trying to be brave and stand up to the bully. Be the bully (its fun).

If you don't think you have been aggressive enough in any one of the tournaments, post the whole section in the SnG forum.
