SNG %

[DP_Troy]

Ok I am normally a tournament player and have just started playing in 6 and 10 person sit and goes for 5 / 10 dollar buy in

just wanted to know if I am playing 18 - 20 % of my hands, am I playing to much.

I am winning about 1 of every 4 games and I am in the money in 1 or 2 of the others but they are lasting almost 1 1/2 to 2 hours which seems really long.

A normal tournament lasy me about 2 1/2 to 3 hours so should a sng be alot quicker?

and are you more aggressive in SNG

ABC SNG technique is to play very tight early and loosen up later. I posted my VP$IP stats in another post, I'll post them again later if I can't find them. From memory my VP$IP stats were like 11-13% for the first few levels and opening up to 40-50% in the later levels.

Seems like a good ITM and win ratio to me although sample size is very important when quoting these stats (you need at least 500 and preferably 1000+ to determine a long-term ITM/ROI). Where are you playing, that does seem like a long time. PS normals usually take 70-90 minutes to win, I know that FT normal SNGs are slower than this.
