Flack_attack 0 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 So I have about $150 left on Stars, and I've decided to start building my BR up by playing mainly the $3.25 tubo 45 person SNGs. I think it goes without saying that play is pretty awful, so common sense tells me that tight is right. However, with only 1500 in starting chips and blinds going up every 5 minutes, a few rounds of bad hands can significantly dent your stack. So my question is, how should I approach these? The top 7 places are paid, and I plan on 3-6 tabling them.Should I play tight because of the horrible play, or aggressive because of the fast blinds?Mixed? Or one way at the beginning and another at last two and final table?Should I stick to basic HOH strategy?What should I limp with, if ever?How to play AK/AQ and small pps early? Late?How often should I c-bet these donks? or any other comments/tips/suggestions...Obviously these are very broad questions and often depend on the situation, but I would just like some opinions on the general approach I should take.

Zach6668 513 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I've never played the 3s, but I've played the $11s I think, and maybe a bit higher.Honestly, these are a crapshoot, however, given my success in the 9 man turbos, I feel I do have an edge here.It's quite important to build your stack early, when the blinds are small. Don't be afraid to see flops, etc, and win pots. Also, take every edge you can get early, imo, even if you are on the good side of a coinflip.There's kind of an inflection point in the tourney, probably when you hit the 200/400 level, where you need to ramp up the aggression big time. This is where your M takes it's biggest hit of the tourney, as you go from 100/200, to 100/200/25, to 200/400/25, so you can see the jump.Anyways, pick on the tighter, weaker players, and always try to have first in. Or, pick on the players who tend to limp fold a lot. At this point, unless you have managed to amass a huge stack, you'll have to stay away from cold deck's, etc. If you do run a bit cold, you can be patient, but eventually, if you get short enough, they'll call with a lot, and you'll have to win a 40/60, or a flip to stay alive.That's all I can think of, I'm exhausted.
