Difference between 9man and 6man Sit n Go

Postby kapoork » Fri Apr 02, 2010 10:01 am

Hey guys, i just recently joined your website, and i have to say it is a great resource. I have been playing poker for about 4 years and have been relative loosing player for a long time now, and i finally decided to get serious and study before i play my next hand of poker, i have read some books (moshman and harrington books) and am currently on kill everyone, and to further help address my needs i joined your site. I primarily focus Sit n Go's and i just recently watched Waynelo's newest short handed sit n go video and found it very informative, my question is what other advice do you or the members of this site have for playing micro ($6-22 buyin) short handed sit n go's, like what type of hands should you play in and out of position, should you be semi-bluffing more, should you be stealing more, and how much should your range open? Also, are you guys going to be doing any more short-handed sit n go videos?

Until about a year ago, 6 max sngs were my main game and I can tell you now, the low levels are easy to beat.

As with regards to starting hands etc... well, the game I played in the early levels was not really much different to how I would play a full ring sng. Obviously late game you're required to loosen up, but for the first couple levels I would play incredibly tight and try to preserve my stack for the 50/100 level (ie. the point when you start playing shove/fold)

It's kinda advanced, but ICM is very important to learn if you want to make a living from SNG's and you will find various resources to help you out with this across the net.
