    I prefer 10x buyin simply b/c if you run-out of money, you are doing something wrong. If you break-even, a few minor tweaks and you should be profitable. Otherwise, 10x should ride you over any...

    I have mixed feelings on this. You have 1-limper so I would put the opp on a 50/50 (or worse) coin flip if they call my all-in. I assume you shortstacked a bit and have 5-orbits or so, 6-hands per...

    Re: NEED OPINIONS

    You can clear this in SnGs with a 40% ITM rate and a 35%ish ROI. You need to play single $30 SnGs or double $20 SnGs. Single table SnGs tend to last 1-hour

    I would play normal "smart" holdem and try to build the stack. Once the blinds get to 10% of the stack you're comparable to a normal 10-seat SnG game. I dont think I would want to play these SnGs...

    Check. Push is the other option if you are holding Ax or pairs (preferably AQ+, TT+). You need to watch for opps that either limp with premium cards or will call with junk (i.e. loose opps). Although...

    Re: Finishing 5th in SNG's, what does it mean?

    - You need to get in the mix early and try to increase your stack. If your normal NL play is sound, your stack should be better-off more times than not. Although, identify the laggs at the table and...
