Default Re: I think I am done with the PP $5 SNG.......ugh

If i flop tptk with a possible flush draw I make a bet of 2/3 to 3/4 the size of the pot online, especially in the 6 sng. I've found that I've had alot more success in the 11 sng although u still see alot of bad poker. Half pot sized bets gets more respect in 11 sngs in my experience but in the long run if guys are calling your bets with this crap you'll do fine. I'm 7/13 itm for 11 sng and am right at 40% itm for 6 sng over about 35 games.

I just now have the bankroll for 11 sng and will play those unless I just want to play for fun, then I move to the 6 sng. Essentially in the 6 sng play tight and bet big with your monsters.

Jason, trust what Tigerite is trying to tell you in that it's not correct to move up in the levels because the better players play more true to the game or will "respect your raises" more. You will get bad beats at every level.

Here's what helped me - try not to be so concerned about the results of the hand, and concentrate more on whether you're making the correct decisions or not. Trust me, you WANT people calling you down with worse hands - you're forcing them to make bad decisions. In the long run, if you make more correct decisions than your opponent, you win.

I'm relatively new myself, been playing under a year. You need to learn how to adjust your game to the style of the table.

Default For the under-rolled trying to deal with the worst players ever

OK, Here's the plan... I had been beating up on the cash games at a couple sites when I decided it was time to take a stab at the SNGs. I am a very conservative person by nature, so I came up with a plan to dominate with a small roll, working my way up the levels. There is really no reason for anyone to play the $6 tourneys at PP.

Step 1: Get yourself $100. Pimp out your girlfriend, live with your mom, work at McDonalds for a weekend. You can figure it out. If you can't you won't beat poker.

Step 2: Deposit the $100 at Stars. You now have about 29 buyins for the $3.40 10 man turbos. Although a winning player can go on a really bad run, 29 buyins is very likely to be plenty for this level. If it isn't and you think you are a winning player, go back to step one and start over. Easy huh?

Step 3: Since you'll surely be crushing these easy $3.40 games at 25% ROI, you'll be making around $0.85 per tournament. Play 150 of them. That should add $120 to your account. If you're on a heater, feel free to move on to step 4 earlier.

Step 4: With $220 in your Stars account and a lot of $3.40 experience you can be comfortable playing the $6.50s. You now have about 33 buyins. Theres only 9 players in the $6.50s, but watchout, the competition is stiffer since this is where a lot of the evil 2+2ers start out. Don't worry though. There are still plenty of dummies, and if you can get identify who's playing really tight, try to get heads up with them, and make big bets. Their scared money will think you have the goods. Play 150 of these too.

Step 5: Once you get up to about $400 in your account you'll have a ton of experience playing these idiots. Here's the bad news though, the idiots are going to start to run out on Stars. You can give the $16 tournies a shot. If you've been doing well, you should still be able to beat the $16 tournaments, but there could be an even better alternative. Move all your money to Party. Maybe they even have a deposit bonus. You now have a decent roll for the $11s, and you have completely avoided ever having to play a $5+1. Since the 10+1 is only the second level on Party, it should be somewhat comparable to the $6.50 competition you're used to on Stars.

Keep crushing...

Max

Gelford,

I am not saying that the $5+1 sngs are unbeatable. When a person says that they are done with the $5 sngs on party cause they do better on pokerstars, that is when the no [censored] factor comes in. I also don't think you understand the impact of paying a 20% vig on a 10 handed sng is.

Why the replay Blarg ?


I have already answered this, stating that

1. That I felt OP had more serious problems than the rake, and it would perhaps have been more to the point to point out those, than to mention the rake first.

and

2. I was in a bad mood and sick of hearing this 'the juice at the 6s' will suck you dry talk. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]


(Btw there is are players that are Europeans, and as thus winnings at some sites are taxfree, while others are not.)
