SnG Tools?

[slumpy]

What tools do you guys use to play SnG's?

I was wondering if there are any HUD's or poker calc's or something I should be using while playing.

I understand SnG Power Tools can help w/ shove decisions but not sure that tool is meant to be used while playing?

Sharkscope now has a HUD so you can identify winning/losing players, so I guess that's ok.

Not sure what Holdem Manager can do for me. And SnG Wiz looks good to review tournament histories.

Just wondering if there's anything else out there I should be aware of. I'm currently at about a 10% ROI on turbos, I'd like to see if I can improve that and/or move up in stakes (currently playing $16 turbos). Any feedback would be great!

These are the tools that I use when playing SNGs:

- Pokertracker and Pokerace HUD. PT stores all your hands and tourney results in a database allowing you to find and review hands and see your results over time. Pokerace HUD needs PT to operate (Pokertracker 3 has a built in HUD however) and displays your opponents' key stats on the table as you play. Essential if you are multitabling IMO.

- SNG Wiz. This program allows you to analyse push/fold/call decisions and IMO is essential to have if you are a serious SNG player. SNGPT is an older and slightly less functional version of the same program.

- Pokerstove. It's free, and although it doesn't include an ICM calculator it is essential when analysing how you fare against various opponent ranges.

- An ICM calculator. There are plenty available on the web, but I have a downloadable one that works when I'm offline. If you Google it, you will find it.
