what sngs on Stars have 2,000 starting chipstacks? (I’ve never seen any over 1500 on that site).
Also, the player traffic on sngs on Stars & Fulltilt is far greater than Carbon at any buyin levels above the super micros, so unless you desire to sit there drinking coffee, waiting for 1 game to open up, my advice would be to play on the sites (for those particular buyins) that have high volume of player traffic.
I also disagree with this ‘suggested sng strategy’. To be playing any weak Ace in early levels is merely plain bad. If you can limp in behind a couple of other limpers in afterwards stance with a decent speculative hand, then sure.. go for it. But generally speaking, there is not a entire lot of time for playing like this in a sng (the more you do this, you will merely be spewing off chips,.. improved to hang onto them and get them in good on a large hand and then play it aggressively).
A very brief overview of typcial ‘winning’ sng strategy, is to avoid confrontation in early levels. Play tight in early going (tight not to be confused with passive,.. play tight but Agressive).
As blinds start to escalate and stealing the blinds becomes essential for survival, make sure you are getting your share of the blinds pretty much each orbit. If you are on a particularly aggressive table and cannot obtain spots to get your chips into the pot first, then try to look for ‘re-steal’ oppurtunities (ie. if a particularly aggress. BTN or CO is raising on your blinds regularly, then fire out a re-steal raise).
key strategy in sng is to try to maintain a decent stack and to stick around till the game approaches the bubble. Winning hands in early going is not going to win the game for you (if you can win a hand.. great… what I mean is.. your object is not to try to win a bunch of pots like it would be in a cash game,.. risking chips from your stack is way more detrimental than the ones you’d gain…. your tournament equity doesn’t increase proportionally to how much it would decrease if you lost those hands). You require to maintain a decent enough stack size so that you will have Fold Equity once the blinds increase and the game becomes more of a shove/fold deal.
Also, in afterwards stages of game (in most circumstances) do not let your stack fall below 10bb’s (unless blinds have gotten so large that all the players are well below this mark). And once you are below 10bbs, you preflop move is today restricted to fold or shove.
To get decent at sng’s I’d advise getting educated on I.C.M. (Independent Chip Model) and to know how & why this affects the game. Even if you select to not play by this principle, it’s good to get yourself educated about it because most of the players on your table will be.
A Great SNG book is Collin Moshmann’s SNG Strategy book. Well worth reading it for sure!!!
GL on the tables!
Start off tight to see how the other players are playing. Try to pick up any tells or betting patterns by youroppositionand see if anyone is controlling the action. Base your play off these factors and anything else that you might pick up. Ultimately, you desire to win the sng, but no 1 can win it on the 1st hand, but most definately lose on the 1st hand.
