Thank you so much! I will keep that in mind!

How does a 2/5/10 No Limit Holdem game work? I understand 1/2 and so on (1 being small blind & 2 being the big blind), but how do you post in a 2/5/10 game?

If you're to play 2.50 $ 180 players and some micro/low tourneys, what stats would you use?

What is the biggest difference in playing style of STTs vs. MTTs? Should one follow the same basic strategy of being tight early and aggressive late in MTTs just like one does in STTs? I am sure there are a bunch of other factors, but just looking for some general input?

Would you say one is at a significant disadvantage by playing at Bovada because one can't review their hand histories in SNG wizard or use a HUD on their opponent. Would one improve their game faster or better with a different site?

You're using the words 'tight' and 'aggressive' as if they mean opposite things. They don't. The opposite of 'tight' is 'loose'. The opposite of 'aggressive' is 'passive'. A player can be both tight and aggressive.

Anyway, that is the 'theoretically correct' way to play any tournament format - tight early, loosen up later. But at low stakes, you might find you do better by being tight early and tight late too.

Didn't even think about that. Ty, I'll try it.

Getting top 3 in SNG is hard right? How does people win SNG so easily? I am okay with those SNG that the top 5 places are paid as the winning chances are higher.

Between what and what? Sit n gos and tournaments? Playing tight and playing loose late in a tourney?

If you're asking why I suggest you might do better playing tight even late in a low-stakes tourney, it's because if you're patient, you'll often find spots where you have a huge edge against bad players. If you're impatient, or if you play loose, you'll more often end up with only small edges. So while you have some chance of building up a big stack that way, you also have a much higher chance of going broke. At higher stakes, you can't find as many spots where you have huge edges, which means you can't play quite so tight.

How do you enter flushes and FDs into pokerstove?

Like say for instance you want to include these in the V's range, I'm at a bit of a loss on how to put these in without typing in every single combination of a flush...

or say preflop you want to include "any suited ace" how would you do this besides typing in "A2s, a3s, etc. etc"

[zumby]

Hold down the Shift button on your keyboard while you enter the hands, then deselect the suits you don't want.

For all suited aces hold down Alt + Shift and click on A2s.
