  1. You could fold every single hand in the first three levels of a stars sit n go and still be a winning player. Its basically just a little bonus time to stack someone when you ahve a premium so why waste time with a stupid hand like AQ. There's no rule that says you have to play every time you have a decent hand.

  2. I don't like the flop bet at all. I would prefer to check behind here and get the free card. If we do decide to bet this flop, pot size would be ideal...but that commits us, so just shovel. Half pot says, my AK just missed.
    AK would not have missed on this flop.Fold preflop. yes its four handed, but the idea of a SNG is to first make the money, then go for the win. Since you only have 15 BBs and you are the shortstack, you should not be playing any hand you would not commit all of your chips with. QJ is not a hand to commit all of your chips with.
  3. Checking the flop is ok, you will keep the pot small, find the same amount of information you would by betting, and set yourself to get paid off later in the hand because it will be harder to put you on a hand when you check the street you made your hand on.

  4. The worst hand in poker is the second best hand. AQ is simply a second best hand. Early in these SNGs youre looking for low risk, high reward opportunities. AQ just isnt gonna cut it. Small pairs where you can flop a set and win a big pot, or get away cheaply are profitable, but play them fast when you hit, and make sure youre not paying too mcuh, because some people like to over raise in the low buy in SNGs. Hands you want to get it all in with pre: AA, KK, QQ, obv. AK: It's ok to get it all in on the first hand with this hand because you are rarely goign to be worse than 45% and you will be up against AQ often enough to make profitable. Don't be the AQ guy.Scott Fischman explains it well if you go to espn.com/poker, clikc hte poker edge, then listen to the episode from over a year ago where he was on. Idk if they still have it up. read his book, online ace, and subscribe to PokerXFactor, they are both well worth the investment for a player who is learning at low stakes.

  5. I hate when peopel do stupid crap like that. It's designed to look like a bluff, but overbets and potsize bets on the river are always monsters. No reason to go broke here with just one pair. Let it go and wait.

  6. On April 30th 2007, my friend sent $5 to my account. Since then, I'm up over $16,000. I only just turned 20 years old, and I've been able to quit my job, move out of my parents house, get a pretty nice apartment, and play full time.I mostly play SNGs and MTTs. My biggest win being when I took down the nightly 25K guarantee on stars at the end of june for 6200.It's all practice, dedication, and bankroll management. Bit of a brag post :club:

  7. you can still play them just as long as you understand going into it that although they can be played optimally, there is giong to be a large luck factor. Basically jsut wait until the blinds get big, and then steal them, is all I do. Make sure you know people's pushing ranges based on their position and M's, and your pot odds when making calls.And in general, it's better to push all in than to call all in. Much better.

  8. don't really like the folding of 66 behind one limper in hand 12hand 17 made me lol then yell "oh god so sick"hand 25, you knew it was coming, shipphand 38 i like the fold, but what would you have done if sb folded?hand 54 made me say "wow this kid really knows what he's doing" I play it the same wayhand 59 i prolly ship

  9. First hand is an instacall. You have at least 12 outs twice, and up to 18, get it in there everytime, esp ITM of a SNG, thats when it's time to start gambling and go for the win. And as for the laziness of minraising, you can just click once on the space to right of the slider, and that will change it to a 3x raise, then click raise, and then you dont ever have to move your fat lazy fingers to the keyboard. sw I'm sure you have very lean attractive fingers.

  10. Limp it pre, I don't like raising out of the SB, just builds a bigger pot that you have to play OOP. Then lead small on the flop. As played, I pot it, applying max pressure and to price yourself in, and let him know youre not folding. That way you dont have to make all hard decisions and do all kinds of math.
