I love these tables with all these weak tighties since you can steal and they really tighten up on the bubble and you can push them around.

Regardless, I think you just hit a few bad tables.

[zenbitz]

take adavatage steal the BLINDS!!!!!

Variance = through the roof. Can't steal the blinds until they are worth stealing (50/100... maybe 25/50 under optimal conditions or shorter stacks).

Open Stealing blinds 8/9/10 way SUCKS. You can't do it from early position unless you have the stack. Late position requires it to be folded to you.

Other options:
1) call raises/steal on flop
2) re-steal 3x raises from button/sb/bb
3) Instead of tagg(or even weak/tight)->lagg, lagg->tagg to loosen up the table.

All these increase variance, I would think.

I typically don't like 3 in SNGs because you are aggressive when the pots are worth squat. You get paid off when you hit a hand and the blinds are big... but if you don't hit a hand choorfuqqed. Of course, vs. a tight table even with a tight image you are going to have to hit a hand when someone else does, or suck out anyway.

I disagree that tables like this get all super tight on the bubble. Not my experience at PS $27 turbo PP $22/$55. People smart enough to play tight until the bubble often learn that they have to push/call pushes with their short stacks.

[Rondavu]

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Do you know what I'm saying?
