Tourney strategy question

[zenbitz]

What is the best way to play those guys who still think they can play flops?

Typically, they have like M=6 (10BB or so), they PFR 3x, call small raises, - bet half pot etc.

You can't just raise them out - since they will still call when they have a hend, right?

This is more common in SNGs than MTTs - but applies to both.

If you're in the correct position to use it, the stop-and-go is a great play in these situations. Basically the mistake that these players are making is that they're investing too large a percentage of their chip stack, and still leaving open the possibility of folding. You can exploit this mistake if you act before them, assuming that they'll fold a decent number of flops that miss them. If you're in position I don't think there's a whole lot you can do, but I'd like to hear other people's opinions.

In this hand here, I was getting ready to go all-in, but I decided that it was a good spot for an outside-the-box type play. The ace on the flop was actually a great card for me because it increased the chances that he'd lay down any hand that didn't have an ace.

Hey, I found my thread! I guess this goes here, but I meant for to apply to SNGs too. There's no "genero MTT/SNG" forum.

Heads up doesn't count! I play lots of flops heads up even with M=4. Maybe this is dumb though.

I have to admit sometimes when I get HU, I switch to "HUD mode" without thinking about the size of the blinds. I usually figure it out when I try to c-bet and it's all me cheep.
