A big THANK YOU to FTR

[glukas]

Hi,

first I wanted to thank everybody here on FTR who helped me by answering my posts and who wrote the articles for beginners and other ones.
Due to this my ITM at the Stars 45 1.20$ "sngs" went up to 70% (data for just 40 of them!!!), and if I was in the money I mostly made it to the top 4. So a big thank you!!!

I still have a lot of grinding to do until I can play the 180s and 5.50$ 45er but I wanted to ask you what a player needs to play there. Just for information:

I read HOH 1,2 , Sklanskys Tournament Poker and NL Holdem Theory and Practice, also
Roy Rounders Holdem Book but everything there can be found here on FTR. Also started some of the sklanskys Limit Books, but never read them to the end.
I'm rereading these books, because I didn't understand everything and not everything really works at the 1.20$ so I just think about some of the things but almost never apply them there.

Long story short: what I know:

Position
Hand selection
Adjusting to table and players and reading them(with that I just mean typing them as Tight/Loose and Passive/Aggressive(pre and postflop)
Bubble play
and getting acclimated with ICM

what else is missing to become a better player??? what except of playing can I do to improve my game?

Again a big thanks and read you later, Me

Glad that you've found FTR helpful, it has certainly helped me a great deal in improving my game. For SNGs with 45 players or less, post some more hands in the SNG forum if you want some more advice!
