The Fine Line Between FPS and Being a Robot

Eagles makes a good point that you can put nits on like 5 hands in levels 1 and 2 alot of the time ... Having a wider pf range is fine b/c half the time you are cbetting whiffed AK or QQ/JJ on K/Q high boards and taking it down vs the check/folding donks anyways. I think good postflop play + a large pt database are two huge assets if you are gong to start experimenting though

Prop bets on ROI for 'laggy' sng stats over 500-1k sngs anyone?

One big leak I think a lot of sng regs have is they play too ABC and it becomes incredibly easy to read their hands

yes, when i talk about stealing small pots from nits, this is exactly it. your typical sng grinder raises mid position in level one. you call on the button (with a loose image, youve played them enough they know you call wide). flop comes 456 or 889, etc, pot is already yours, cause that flop is in no way in their range, and it's in yours. they check fold flop, or they weak cont bet, you call, they c/f turn. works every time.

AA-JJ doesn't need a flop of high cards to continue. If they really are that nitty they will have hit that flop a decent % of the time.

I don't mind being easily read at the low limits. No one is trying to read me anyway.

Why not just limp A5s from the CO? I don't see why I want to make the pot bigger when I don't have much hand. I don't flop a flush too often, and I don't want to pay a lot to draw to one. I don't care about stealing the blinds in the first couple of levels. They just don't add much to my equity when I win them. If one of the blinds makes some kind of gayraise, I still have position. Most donks on the button won't position-raise an open limp.

Don't get me wrong. I hate limping when the blinds are higher. But I merrily limp small pairs early if I'm fairly sure that I won't get heavily raised behind.

Is the benefit of having the lead enough to make it worth raising? Will I take away enough pots on the flop to make up for losing bigger pots when I lose?
