Default Re: SNG advice :; chasing draws in sngs.

The problem is that for most people, an extremely tight approach to the early game will be more profitable than anything a more loose-aggressive approach could bring. Very tight-aggressive dominates the early game for almost everything but high stakes, and even there it is most commonly used by the winning players.

There are various reasons for this:

- Survival is worth a ton in low stakes (just staying alive will earn you a lot of money)
- A double up in the early stages isn't nearly worth as much at a low stakes buyin as it is at a high stakes buyin
- It is very hard to maneouver post-flop because you're playing so many unknown players every time you sit down.

I'm not going to answer any of your questions because the style you seek to play requires a lot of experience and is very hard to play for a beginner. Hell, it's extremely hard to play even for anyone that doesn't have exceptional reading ability, recognizes situations intuitively, and so on.

You're basically asking people 'Hey, can you guys give me 2 years worth of post-flop play experience?' which is quite impossible.

It would be most wise for you to give up your style entirely and just go with what most people on these forums are doing, since you probably do not have the strategic knowledge to extract the most out of your big hands and lose the least when you're behind.
