Re: Frustration...
Here a few tipps for you:
- restock your bankroll a little bit and start playing the 6+0.50 SNG's! It's hard to beat the rake at the 3+.40 as it is definetively toooo high!
- read everything you can find about ICM BEFORE you get the trial version of SNGWIZ. You'll find plenty of input at these frum or just google it. There are also free ICM calculators online where you can get a feeling for it. When you have SNGWIZ (or similar software) " PLAY WITh IT". I learned more from changing ranges, changing chip stacks, adding or removing players etc. then from anything else! This helps dramatically to get an idea of the STT-end game and helps to adjust your play to the different levels/situations.
- post hands here and read hands posted here. Try to find an answer by yourself BEFORE you read the respones of the others. Best would be to take a piece of paper and a pencil and write your answer down, then compare with the other posters.
- read Harrington oH 1+2 (Part 3 is nice but not a must).
- read any piece of STT-strategy you can find somewhere! (I've even read a lot of bad once and learned a lot from them, mainly "how not to play SNG")
- patience: it takes some time until you "REALLY" understand how to play SNG's...(You will never understand it completely as there will always be something you can learn but at least get a good idea of it)
Good luck
