"fast structure" SNG betting

[smbruin22]

i've been thinking about this for awhile recently.....

alot of people are saying that kill phil is far too simplistic. only relevent to beginner/lower intermediate...

anyhow, i've been playing some SNG's recently and trying to use more expert strategies like harrington suggests. continuation betting would be #1 by far.

but i'm finding it's pretty hard on the old chip count even at the marginal comfort zone..... if i raise to 4X BB, get a caller from BB, then that's 9X BB in the pot. if i bet half the pot or the whole pot on the next bet that's another 4.5-9.9BB, then what i do if i want to continuation bet again on the turn? that's another 6.5-10BB's and i have pretty much nothing left. if i don't bet on the turn, am i not asking my opponent to take the pot?

i know harrington talks about his different zones and is looking to get pretty aggressive in the M = 10-15 and 5-10 range (would translate to 15-22 and 7.5-15 BB's without antes).

i know that harrington isn't so much focussed on SNG's, but shouldn't an SNG have some similarities to a final table and have many similar characteristics.....

i think harrington probably doesn't see as many calling stations as the rest of us do.... more first-in vigorish where he plays...

interesting that chris ferguson suggested that if your raise takes 25% of your stack, just go all-in. so if you raise to 3.5BB, may as well go all-in with 14BB stack. and with standard antes, i that all-in level would become about 4BB and 16BB (SNG, i'm almost always at or below 16BB)

anyhow my general point is that fancy expert moves seem to take up alot of chips. and i seem like i'm often being pressured by the blinds in SNG's and many MTT's.... i guess all the more reason to target certain players in the big blind as the whole idea is that you don't want any action.

sorry, that was a little disjointed.. any comments appreciated.... sorry if wrong forum, but i think the posters in here are excellent and i did reference three authors.
