lol. Most of those were early on and I have played up since then! Stayed down for alot of reasons...constantly raping the bankroll so I could justify my 'poker time' and, importantly, after my first 1000 I had about 5% ROI and figured I still sucked enough to stay. Then, it became a matter of really buckling down and studying my game and I wanted to see if my retooling would stand up over the long haul...which by that point I had realized was pretty damn long. So, that's that. I still play down when I'm drinking...

QQ= all-in
KK=300
AA=200..instead of pushing all 3, thats my opinion.

Special: If you are the BB and are getting over 2:1 to call an all in, call with any two cards.

I think this should be 3:1 rather than 2:1. degan's example makes 2:1 look too small.

I didnt read the guide carefully but it looks fine. I disagree with the early level overpushing, I mean who is the guy that said something about postflop play.
However I think the early on play is really cool, and really helpful,check-raising for instance (which makes me angry because I had to play 500 sngs before realizing that)However with dangerous boards its better to be agressive right away.
I agree with level 3 overpushing and Im using it myself lately.
Late on Looks fine.
Bubble play , Ill try an example.
blinds: 200/400
UTG 2500.folded
Button(me)2000. AJ
SB.2500
BB 1000.
3 pts for the button. 3
2 pts. for bigger stack. 5
6 pts. for bonus. 11
And 5 BB. 16
Ok lets see...well, the guide says a fold...i think its a push.
Another example.
blinds:100/200
UTG..4000. folded
button(me)2000 KQ
SB 1000
BB 1000
this a mega-obvious push and I made it on purpose so that ure system proves it right.
3 pts. on the button.3
5 BB.8
should I substract 4 points or not????
anyway..clear push!!!

Ok now Im putting an example to screw ure system.
blinds:250/500
UTG.500 .folded
Button.5000.All-in.
SB.1000. folded.
BB.1500 .23o.

The same exmaple above but with AT and 150/300 blinds.
UTG.500.folded
button.5000. All-in
SB.1000.folded
BB.1500.AT
I would fold here.
0 point for the BB.
5 BB.5
4 points for AI.9
6 ptBonus.15
15 points..AND ITS A FOLD!!! woooo...go adanthar!!!!!

Anyway ure system is really decent, I mean if someone is stupid enough to call with 23o no guide can save them. The bubble guide can be fixed and be worked out, the weak point of the bubble guide IMO is play with very short stacks.

I've read it, but I really don't like open-pushing with Aces. Don't you want to get paid off? I think betting 250, then pushing on any flop is better.

[tigerite]

Sometimes if you get AA in the first or second hand of an SNG it can be very +EV to push, I've been called by K8o and 73s in those conditions, doesn't happen very often though.

[Jay36489]

To everyone who is saying how the open pushing is bad, Andathar says its NOT the optimal way to play. The optimal way to play can not be put in a one post strategy guide.

That being said I open pushed KK @ a 55 at 3 or 4 am last night. A9s called, and with how the games were going I was suprised I didn't get called in more places...

Thank you for making all the people (read: me) who couldn't beat the $11s feel like idiots.

I sure hope to god this works, because the $2 in profit I have over my first 75 $11s is certainly under 20% ROI.
