Finishing 4th

[BigRedDog33]

Long time lurker, first port.

I have been playing a mix of turbo SnGs at FTP. 2 thru 10 buying. Mixing up my play from LAG to TAG. I do well early and in the middle but have had real problems closing into the money. Sometimes it is over aggrasion becasue I decide I am trying to win not just make the money. Other times even with a bog stack wehn the blinds get real high I ether start gettig squeezed by the blinds and all-ins from short stacks or end up crippling myself. Any help would be appreciated.

Read the FAQ that is stickied, some of the links there will help.

I will just say one thing. The primary aim in SNGs is not to win, it is to make the money. Playing tight throughout is basically correct, although later on when the blinds get big you can often raise all-in with poor hands to steal the blinds. Post hands you aren't sure about here.

Thanks i will take a look. I guess it is a mind set. Win or place. Obviously consistently placing is better then winning occasionally and busting the rest.
