Starting hand requirements in early blind stages of a SNG.
Note, the following is only referring to the early blind stages of a SNG. I am trying to make a chart according to what Moshman says in his book, "Sit 'n Go Strategy". If you have read his book, please tell me if I have copied what he had correctly. Also, what is considered late position? Is the Hi-jack seat (mp3) late position, or does it start with the CO?. I greatly appreciate the help. Right now I'm at 10% ROI for $11 SNGs, but I'd like to improve. This chart is a bit tighter than I was previously playing. I greatly appreciate the help from the wise here.
Early Position:
Raise With: JJ+, AK
Limp: 22 - 1010, AQs
Middle Position:
Raise 99+ (3bet with 88 on the Hi-jack seat), AJs
Limp: 22-88
Fold to a raise: 99-1010 (are Jacks a fold too? The author is vague.), AJs, AQ (AQs too?), any hand not mentioned as a raise.
Late Position:
Raise (w/no others in the pot): K-10+, 55+, A10s+
Speculative Hands (limping where there are 2 other limpers in the pot): Suited Connectors (54s and up), Suited Aces, 22-1010, Semi Suited Connectors (such as J-9s, K-10s)
Limp with no others in the pot: 22-44? Please confirm. Is this still a raise if you're on the button?
I know some of it will depend on the playing style of my opponents, but I want a rough guideline of what to do.
