2 Table Turbo SNG Tips

[Randy]

So I've been playing some 2 table $30 SNG's on stars. These games seem really soft and I have a decent ROI since i started playing them. I've mainly played cash games the last 2 years, so I'm really rusty at this point and I'm sure I am making mistakes.

The HH begins when I finally get a hand "Aces" and double up. Usually when I double up I can use my position and stack to make it deep. My fear is that I am missing too many opportunities or taking too many chances.

So, take a look if you will and give me some pointers. I'll respond with any thought or comments I have on your advice.


Thanks!

On hand number 3 your too deep to push. I like a standard raise instead of a push (maybe 2.5x's the BB or 3x's the BB)

Shove on hand 9 looks good.
Hand 10 is a good fold.
Hand 11 I like a shove with AJ with under 10BB's
Hand 13 I like a shove with TT vs a minraise.
Hand 14 is a good fold but its close.
Hand 22 is a nice call. NH
hand 26 nice shove
Hand 37 is interesting and I think I like a shove. Need to run that one through sngwiz or another ICM program to see what it gives.

Well played. The replay feature on this forum is pretty cool. With less than 10BB's I like a shove preflop if Im going to play.

Thanks for checking the replay out, and thanks for the good advice. Looking back, I think you are spot on!

Thanks for the welcome.

I found this forum through a strat website that was pretty good. Lots of good info. Id like to continue to discuss poker strat with you guys.

I wanted to add, The book Kill Everyone is a must read if you have not already. Really good stuff that will apply directly to the 45/18 player turbos.

Seriously hand 8 seems tight to me for some reason.

Shove it in.

I disagree. A6 may be adequate to push all-in with but not to call all-in with IMO. Hindsight being 20/20 as well, that villain damn near let himself get blinded out before he finally ended up calling a raise with 2.5 BB from one of the blinds.


I say this after I was shown the light after reviewing a similar hand in my replayer thread here: http://www.feltpoker.com/tournament-...563/#post69943

Here's my 2 cents on this game for better or for worse:

Hand 35- T5o from SB, fold
Hand 37- KTo from BB, push
Hand 38- Q6s from SB, what's with that wierd Raise (like 90% of BBs stack)?, push it all-in
Hand 39- K8 from BTN, push (If we're pushin' Q6 in the previous hand, why not K8?)
Hand 44- 56o from BTN HU, push or fold, I VERY rarely call from BTN HU unless I'm trapping (you had no reason to believe he'd let you see a flop, did you?)

Just my 2 cents, FWIW.
