Since there seems to be a lot of discussion and confusion about what the book covers well and does not cover so well, this thread can be used for such discussion and more general theory topics related to the book.

I suggest reading some of the original thread with some great review:

Somewhere in between 24% & 100%, likely around 80ish%. The blinds hitting us is an important implication that we have to factor in, so we should definitely be taking some -EV spots, but certainly not with 100%. You can still make a call in the BB, get a walk, or other plays that would be better than shoving absolutely ATC if they are calling wide. ATCs is a good plan of action in this spot.

Also, if Wiz only has you shoving 24%, your likely calling ranges might be too loose with everyone only at 4k each.

Also, IIRC, Wiz isn't so good in these sorts of spots because it doesn't factor in the loss of FE and the position of the blinds. So it might come up with some weird results ocassionally. Also why Wiz isn't the best for some double-or-nothing bubble situations.

Can anyone correct me on this?

like someone said above, taking a slightly -ev shove is better off than folding, since sometimes if you fold you wont find too many more +ev scenarios....id follow wiz but just note spots where a borderline shove is needed

Take any Wiz suggestion in under 5BB situations with a big grain of salt.

So I've read his sit n go book about 4 times over, made about a hundred pages of notes on his example, theory anything (with the exception of high blinds I'm not ready for that info....but do the steals and resteals work as effectively in the low stakes games?

You'd need to be a bit more specific if you want someone to help. Find a few hands (or invent some) that cover the kinds of spots you want to discuss.

One thing you can do is run the spots Moshman discusses in SNG Wiz. There are a couple of spots he suggests resteals that are a bit light. Try them in Wiz, then you can answer for yourself whether his advice is accurate in that area.

Yeah sorry about being vague. What I mean is, given that most people won't read his book, I should have a good edge against the average player and be able to win decently at low stakes games?

Yes, that book will make you a low stakes winner for sure. But like anything, don't take everything as concrete and 100% true. Reading a book like Moshman's is just the first step to being the best SnG player you can be. Start reading, playing, browsing the forums, and you will start to improve.

You should def have an edge at the low stakes games. Winning "decently" can be harder to judge since since the games have a natural variance that we are always dealing with. In the long run you should be a decent winner if you just work on learning this game and getting feedback from better players on spots your unsure about.

Getting a program like wiz is a solid first step in the right direction.

That book alone had me killing the small stakes SnG's. I would highly recommend it to anyone playing SnG's. To answer your question, no steals and resteals wont work as effectively in my opinion just because the players are worse and will call with lighter. You should definitely read the end game part though, esp. on the bubble, it is essential to becoming successful at SnG's.

I'd say definitely but that doesn't make it the bible.

I'd also strongly recommend it for lowstakes beginners. Yeah, the resteal section might get you into trouble, but at least it errs on the aggro side; and the pushing tables are not all that good, but they'll mostly keep you out of trouble at least.

DrZen! Please elaborate on your meaning on Moshman's pushing tables! Are they too loose, too tight?!

They don't consider enough of the variables.
