STT Strategy Articles

[GaF]

I think it was Damo who mentioned SNGWIZ, just been looking at it and impressed (more so than the others I've looked at) - Free 30 day trial is fully functional, so why not give it a go? www.sngwiz.com (will add them to the Poker Resources) But the main reason for this post .... the FAQ has a great list of STT articles - haven't looked through them all yet, but the ones I have looked at seem good :ok

Here are some good SitNGo strategy articles for the beginner: DavSimon's SnG Strategy Guide No Limit Single Table Tournament Strategy by TightPoker.com Maximus’ Strategy by Andrew Strohman Common Beginner Pitfalls To Avoid by TLR Sit and Go Strategy by Dan Harrington Sit and Go Strategy by Howard Lederer Sit and Go Strategy by Chris Moneymaker No limit tournament betting by Andrew Strohman Once you have the basics down, you can move on to some more advanced concepts.

Low buyin SNG dos and don'ts

Like this one - tackles one of my pet hates - the view that "I'm not good enough to beat $5 games, maybe I'm good enough to beat $10 games" :tongue2

) Don't believe "I can't win at the $5.50s, I will win more by moving up and playing with players who respect my bets/raises" This is plain wrong. Sure, players at higher buyins may play tighter and may well fold a bit more often to your preflop raises or postflop bets but there are so many other ways which they can pwn you - they will be MUCH more aggressive, generally displaying a good understanding of bubble play/ICM etc. If you can't consistently beat the $5.50s over a few hundred SnGs then you will NOT beat the $22s, $33s and $55s.

Also....

16) Realise that bad, horrible, appalling, one-outer beats do happen... ...and that the best way to console yourself is to be sure that you got your money in as a favourite - if you did, there is nothing else you can do, you effectively won. Your AA will be cracked by rubbish like QTs 19.5% of the time when your preflop push is called BUT the other 80.5% of the time you double up/take opp's whole stack. The question to ask yourself is "would I have played differently?" and if the answer is "no", then be happy whatever the results might be.
