Default Re: Constantly shortstacked

When I first started playing SNGs being 10BBs or less scared the hell out of me and I found it very frustrating. I would be sitting there on the edge of my seat thinking I desparately needed a hand.

Now, after about 1000 SNGs, I am comfortable with the short stack and as long as I have some FE (~5BBs) then I still feel I have a good shot of being ITM and winning the tourney.

Like someone already posted, be patient and continue to find +EV situations to get your chips in.

Twice this week I've had just under 4BBs and have more than doubled up without seeing a flop...just keep plugging!
