This is essentially how I've been playing my SnG's. I play a few more hands like KQ,KJ,JQ,AQ,AJ. Also, I like to bate players to go all-in over me when I have AA/KK preflop or hit a monster hand. I'm pretty good at telling how much to bet, and the timing of the bet, to get someone to come over the top of me. It's amazing how many people i've knocked out when they were on nothing but a pure all-in bluff.

That`s pretty unlucky. Realistically though, I can`t see any way this strategy would work in the short-handed games you`re playing. It seems much too tight for those. It`s intended for 9/10 player games.

Well I always played pretty tight...not as tight as listed about but sometimes I wasn't afraid to raise with A-J os. Using that stratigy I placed second in five out of the six SnG's I played. The one that I lost I did not once get any of the hands listed above. We ended up being down to the last 4 (3 get paid) and I went out betting.

I've been having pretty good run of luck or whatever with SnG's for awhile now. ie; Sunday I played 11 SnG's, 6 player, so they pay 1st and 2nd. I won 6 and was second in 2. Not bad I figure. I don't play what I call "loose", but I'm not playing these real tight either.
I tried your method last nite in 4 of the same SnG's. Guess what? I'm first out in all 4! LMAO. Maybe it was just the luck of the draw and I need to try some more. But, I was amazed at how I got sucked out on in all 4. What are the odds? Only thing was, you are right, people will call. Problem is, they aren't calling with a good hand to begin with and....SUCK OUT!!!!!!!!!

Awesome job. Very helpful. You definitely had me sold on it when you told us to completely stop the tight-aggressive play when there are fewer people. That definitely throws them off. Thanks to you and this wonderful strategy, in the last 8 tourn's ive gotten 1st 2nd 2nd 1st 7th (someone had no business calling my A-K suited but hey, thats poker) 3rd 1st 3rd. Thanks again.
You aren't "stopping" your TA-A attutude, you are taking advantage of the image it has given you and playing more hands in position s. the loose-passive players [and still aggressively]
And just remember, there aren't just 4 player types. you have to factor in preflop & post-flop aggression as two different ratings. a tight aggressive/passive is a ery different person than a tight passive/aggressive

Roy Rounder writes good common-sense advice. I have several of his books and have found them ery useful.

in SNGs i play in my average of seeing the flop is only 20-30% of the flops and i usually win around 50% of the flops i see., and this will at least get me to the final table to battle for the money. theres no need to be in a hurry to get a huge chip count because ALOT of the times the early chip leader wont make it to the final table because they will feel unbeatable and can take the extra chances. if you do get a big chip count dont start feeling unbeatable and can afford to take more chances either. stick to being aggressive. on the other end dont get too nervous if you have a short stack. there is plenty of time to make it up so dont take the extra risks trying to chase draws. and once it gets to the final table you can loosen up just a little and be able to possibly still a couple pots because of the tight image. also when its down to around 10-12 people left you can find that people will play extremly tight so this is another opportunity to try to steal some pots, just dont try to steal too many a... | | Read Entire Entry |

Hey twizzybop, didn't know you wrote a book. What is the name of it. I'd be interested in checking it out. I liked the above post and may give it a shot. I'm interested in hearing/reading more about some of the styles and approaches you've mentioned / alluded to.
PM with the info if you think posting the book info would be iewed by some as spamming.

Thanks for the advice. It's amazing how well such a simple strategy can work... I've been playing almost as tight as you've suggested recently, and I usually end up not placing due to the occassional non-monster hand I play. I can definitely see the alue in this. Thanks.

Honestly, if you're looking to use your patience as an edge, I don't think you should play turbos at all.

this is ery true it works...but it kind of takes the skill out a bit...i mean opponents can put you on a hand easily if they watch teh Show down a bit...and as for turbos...i am left puzzled...i guess get an early lead?..

Thanks Twizzy for the advice. I play a lit of sngs and the teptation to play those lesser hands is strong. but you are correct when it comes to waiting out the players who can't wait. I will try the approach you have when the table gets to fewer players and note any improvements in my playing. Later...

BTW I wouldnt worry about everyone playing this way now that they read it. There are WAY to many people in and out of poker playing sites that never look for stategies (sp?)

GREAT ADVICE MAN. I usually play more hands while the blinds are low because it is cheaper than calling blinds later on in the game. Do you have any advice for tourbo sngs? In those you cant always play passive agressive because you need to double up fast so calling more blinds in the beginning isnt such a bad idea...ya know wut im saying???

I agree that it works sometimes but again it's all about circumstance. I've found much success with my loose aggressive formula. simply because of tight-aggressive players :-)

I use a ery similar strategy for playing sng's and it works great for me aswell!
I don't think it would work in turbo sng's because the blinds are getting high so fast that you don't have as much time before you have to make a move in order not to get blinded out. So stick with the regular sng's if you're going to implement a strategy similar to this.

It's so simple...
And so obvious...
Yet no one seems to get it!
What's this easy-to-use secret for beating Sit and
Go tournaments online?
The answer is this:
PATIENCE.
I know... I know... you were expecting something
more, um... "secretive".
But the truth is, winning at Sit and Go's is
pretty damn easy. I find them easier than "real"
poker games, actually.
And that's why every time I turn on the computer
these days I feel like a kid in a candy store...
ready to clean out the amateurs at the poker room
of my choosing.
But I'm getting ahead of myself.
What I want to discuss here is why PATIENCE is so
critical for Sit and Go success.
First, let's get back to some basics. There are
four types of poker playing styles:
1. Tight-Passive
2. Tight-Aggressive
3. Loose-Passive
4. Loose-Aggressive
Your style should be tight-aggres... | | Read Entire Entry |
