The 38$ tournaments were entered after I had finished my op, hence them being the last two tournaments played. they were the recreational tournamnents as stackx will testify who railed a few of my games that day.
Thanks everyone for your words they are nice and encouraging. I surely have alot to learn. I am throwing everything I thought I knew out of the window and starting again.
My strategy was basically this: -
Raise and be prepared to go all in with AA KK QQ AK, from any position. If QQ be cautious if faising more than one re raise,or a re-raise and caller.
Limp all PP's < 10,10, and throw them away if they don't flop a set on the flop. (or just check it down). Unless the post flop bet is very small in which case maybe call or go over the top with a sensible raise.
Raise 10,10, jj - and if it' an over to the board call a flop bet, otherwise bet and check fourth and the river.
If someones bluffing alot and I have position on them 2bet their flop bet with any two cards. fold if they 3bet.
Later in SNGs - push fold, open the ranges. Push alot more early hands taking into consideration chip stacks.
Early on hardly ever play suited connectors unless 9,10+ - and then with caution (as I can find it hard to put them down if top pair hits sometimes.) Play A-X suited in a multiway limped pot, and perhaps with one 3/4 bb raise early on, with a couple of callers - but not facing a big raise.
This has basically been my strategy but it doesn't seem to be a winning one. So as I say i'm throwing it away and starting again. Will do nothing but read and watch / play free rolls for a week and then make a small deposit and try to play with what i've learnt.
Thank again all the +ve people out there that take the time to read my op thread
