5400 FPP Sats- Early/Mid game Strategy

MatteyA28 · #1 10-02-2007, 11:30 AM

Now that these are back I'm gonna be using my FPPs stored up through Sept for these on Sunday. I was wondering if the early/mid levels should be played with the same sng strategy used for 50/30/20 payout stts.

Same for me but will only have 2700 so it's 4/20, not 4/10.

Survival is the key on yours obviously you only need to outlast 4 people.

You should try really hard to double up early. Because then you can pretty much coast to the money. Suited connectors are gold. Plus if you bust out it's not as bad since it's a freeroll.

Usually in FPP STTs I play extremely tight early, and push/fold - with premium hands - when odds don't really justify it.

Pt. 2 (end game):

If you find yourself as shorty, try to fold into the money. The nice thing about having 200 chips is you can quintuple your stack if you win the hand.

If you have a stack don't let anyone push you around. Don't be afraid to call a shove with AK, from the only guy who can bust you. You see a lot of the same people at these, so metagame is crucial.

If a shorty is all-in, be sure to isolate him. You may need those chips. Everyone at the table will bitch at you. But think about this - why would they be bitching if it was such a bad play? If it's bad for them it must be good for you. Game theory 101.

Just play for first like you would in a SNG and you'll be fine.

looks like my sarcasm detector was broken.
