My best Sit N Go: comments and suggestions?

[rolonrolon]

Naturally, none of it is bolded and I have to go to work so I will do it when I get home! blah html!


Here is the best Sit N Go, I think, I have ever played. I write some questions that I have after the bolded hands. I still have alot of work to do so any comments and suggestions would be nice.
Thanks,

[Chicago_Kid]

I looked through this tourney...a couple of general comments and then some specific hand questions:
- Congrats on your win...you didn't get lucky really at all, but instead avoided risky post-flop situations by showing aggression early.

- This is a prime example of how naked aggression can enable you to build a large stack and bully people all the way home. It was very clear from the onset that your plan was to simply TAKE the chips that you want from people and make them put their stack at risk if they have the cards/balls. A very good approach if you can sniff out traps effectively. In fact, some of these hands, made me laugh thinking about what the other players must have thought (that you were a maniac).

- This nasty aggression works well for most low level SNG's...by the time they figure out you are stealing everything, you're up big, and they can't fight back without risking their whole stack. However, at later levels, people will be a bit trickier, using stop-and-goes, slow plays, and otherwise similar aggression, but will play BETTER HANDS. You need to think about this and either be more careful post flop, or tighten up a bit preflop.

- This brings me to my next point...you didn't seem afraid to put a big bet often (30-50% of your stack) in the middle with relative garbage (73s, T4o, A6o, 69s, J5o). While this is ballsy and sets the stage nicely for monsters later, you might want to work on being a bit tighter, and perhaps bet a bit less than you did with nothing. E.g., don't put 50% of your stack in the middle with crap...try 25-30% to scare people. This will have the same effect, with far less risk for you. Also, playing slightly fewer hands will give you credibility later. I didn't count them, but I'm guessing you played at least 40% of the hands, albeit mainly from MP or later.

- Again on risk management, there's nothing worse than having a total fish take a bunch of your chips early on because you were crapping around with speculative hands. Now, this is probably a style difference, because I typically play a conservative style in the first 2-3 levels, and pick my spots later when I know the players better and because better players are able to laydown a hand to my steals.

Finally, if you feel you have the best of it playing this way, don't give up this early tourney strategy, but perhaps tone it down just a bit, IMO.

Specific Hand questions:
These questions are most interesting to me, because you play a very different style than, me so I'm interested in what you were thinking. Not saying these were "wrong", but just that I saw them differently.

99 - you bet 8x BB...why so much. Not sure if the value is there, if someone re-raises. Perhaps do this every once in a while, but I wouldn't get in the habit of doing this early in a tourney. The problem is if someone calls you, and broadways hit, you don't know where you are

Kc, Th - you raised in MP, and bet 50% of your stack on the river with a majorly coordinated board, after two smooth calls from your opponent, with K high. Although tremendously entertaining for me to read, it's quite possible he could have you beat...need to be careful on situations like this.

A6o in MP - you re-raised?

69s - 3.5 x raise?

KQ (TTTKK) - you somehow sniffed out the guys overboat...nice work.

and my favorite...Jackson-Five offsuit - you RE-raised to 6x blinds?

In closing, your style is quite different than mine, but I can see how this style can pay dividends, particularly if you want to build a stack early. I know some people that cannot play well without big stack, so they do everything they can to get up early. Some of these people are great tourney players, too...as long as they survive the first two levels. However, make sure you have some outs in more situations, and be careful about bluffing a large % of your stack that would cripple you.

I'd also like to hear opinions from some of the really aggressive players like Soupie, Rada, and Rippy, which will likely be very different from mine.

[Rondavu]

I think you took a lot of chances here late, and got away with a lot of stuff. I loved your controlled aggression early on, and was thoroughly impressed. Then I think you started feeling invincible and loosened to a dangerous level. All in all not too bad, but as you move up the levels your going to get looked up by someone with enough chips to test you.

[rolonrolon]

I appreciate the comments and I will keep them in mind when I play step 2 tonight.

Responses to your comments:

99- I didn't want any over cards calling me so I bet big. Already a decent pot from my preflop raise and I was satisfied with that.

K10- After he only called my min bet raise I figured he was going for the flush draw and when it didn't hit I had to scare him away if he had the ace.

Don’t' see the reraise with A6o, I see a call and then fold to a reraise.

69s- I always play the button super aggressive. I have gotten a lot better at knowing when the blinds are weak or strong and am able to get away from the latter.


I'd also like to hear from any others who play a similar style.

Thanks again for the comments.

K10- After he only called my min bet raise I figured he was going for the flush draw and when it didn't hit I had to scare him away if he had the ace.

My point here is that a total bluff like this should still leave you some room to escape without too much damage. If someone is slowplaying trips or two-pair, and re-raises, you have to fold, giving away over 60% of your stack. However, sounds like you had a read, and it worked out.

69s- I always play the button super aggressive. I have gotten a lot better at knowing when the blinds are weak or strong and am able to get away from the latter.

I gotcha. I just think small, suited, two-gappers are weak at that stage, and shouldn't be played aggressively. Calling there could be interesting sometimes. The flop's gonna hit you less that 10% of the time, so don't invest so much.

Good luck with level 2.

[Rondavu]

Regarding the 99 hand. I play it very similar. Especially when the blinds are large. It's a perfect blind theft from any position, because it's so weak postflop. If someone calls without a high pocket pair, your isolated, which is ideal for 99. I would raise 4-5x BB from anywhere. When you create extreme isolation, desperate low pocket pairs will sometimes try to race you. When you get 99, and there are no high pocket pairs out there, you're really creating an ideal situation for yourself. Not only are you coddling your hands strengths, but your representing high pocket pair yourself. The key with this is to not get committed based on your odds. Your raise has now built a big pot based on the way you chose to play it. You have to look past the chips and really concentrate on whether you're ahead postflop.

Well....I F***ed up Step 2 and finished 7th.

I was way to aggresive and thought I could bluff everybody off every pot. I went in way to over confedent and paid the price. Terrible. I'm taking my shot at Step 1 again right now and am not doing any better, I'm just hoping to last to 5th so I can give my self a better posistion to win again.
