Poker Tracker, What Should I Be Looking At For My SNG's??

yeah most of it I think a re-reading is in order. Is power tools that helpful for improving your game? $79 seems like a lot to pay for some stats. Any helpful feedback from those who use this would be appreciated.

its probably worth 10 times what it costs. You put in your hand and their calling ranges it tells you if its + or - $EV or cEV and by how much. what more could you want.

If it improves your ROI by .01% it is theoretically priceless.

I bought SNGPT a little while ago. I already understood most of the concepts that it teaches, but it is a good validing tool. Makes me feel more comfortable pushing 9-2o when I need to. It's worth the money, but make sure you are a decent/solid player before messing around with it and committing the $80.

SNGPT is essential.

But I wouldn't dismiss PT too quickly. Things to look for in PT once you have 500 (better 1000) tourneys in:

1) BB/100 win rate per level -> points you to certain levels where you might be to lose or to tight. Especially Level 2-4 are prone to be a beginner's problem child. The idiots are gone but you still try to pick up idiots. These are also the levels with most postflop play. Do not draw conclusions from the highest levels when you have only like 50 hands in.

2) Replay all you AA,KK,QQ,JJ AK and AQ hands from level 1-3 to get an understanding how to play them.

3) Go to the position tab and play around with the limit and number of player filter. Especially filter to min 4 max 4 players to see how you played the bubble. Also filter to min/max 2 players to check your HU play. Have a look at the %ages for RFI (raised first in) for the SB position. Have a look at the WTS (went to show down) for the BB position when you were raised by the SB. The former should be between 65-80% The latter should be between 30-40%. If one of these two figures are outside of this range you are doing something fundamentally wrong HU.
