oh its ok..thought abt it got my answer. ROI isnt affected by the stake while av profit is.

how to play 6 max sng? what are the starting hands? would somebody post a thread about starting hands in 6 max sng? whats the main difference between 6max and 10max sng?

what sort of BR am i looking at to start playing $3.40 18/27 man sng's?

Start playing them as soon as you have more than $220 (more 100 BI for the level below it). If you fall back below 100 BI for previous level, drop back down until you can take another run. If you are a winning player at the $2 games, you will be a winning player at the $3s. If there isn't a $2 level and the level below is the $1 games, I would shot the $3s at around $200 or so, which should be a decent cushion to handle the short term variance. Just make to sure drop down once you get under 100 BI's for the level lower and it will be virtually impossible for you to go broke. Don't be intimidated by the $3s, the game toughness is virtually the same as the $1/$2 games. GL.

When I saw this hand in my hem, I thought I'd played it really poorly. I can't remember having a read that the villain would 3 bet steal here with a weak range, and then fold to a raise.
When I ran the hand in wiz the results confused me. I admit I'm a wiz noob. It says to push here with the top 12.2% of my range. That includes j10 q10 and k9. I don't understand why k9 > a8. Maybe I'm misinterpreting the stats. This range is written in the centre of the screen under 'suggest-fold'.

First, this looks like a bit spewy That said, raising pre is fine, but make it like 250 instead

Then when SB shoves you should just fold unless he is ridic loose.

For the part about wiz, did you remember to adjust the ranges yourself?

It looks pretty spewtastic alright, that's why I was confused about the range wiz recommended. As I said, I'm an sng noob, what do you mean adjust the range?
I've looked at stats again villain had vpip of 31 and pfr of 14. He had a button raise % of 43 and 40 from the sb. Is that ridic loose enough or is this still a fold?

You got 17 bbs so you dont have to push/fold.
With this stack pf raise is fine, as mckrogh said make it 2,5x, it"ll do same effect, on his re-raise you have to fold.

For the Wiz adjusting ranges, with given stats I think he is not calling wider than 10%, but mckrogh is more competent for that part

How do i filter my HUD stats by players in the hand? (PT3)

Didn't feel like reading through this whole thread. But are there any must reads on DON's? Just starting to play them and wondering if there are any threads I should read...

So here is a basic question:

how to play STT with ~4 Fishes on the table. i mean guys that limp/Minraise a lot and have stats of 40/20 or even higher to 80/40.

the main problem is that a basic push/fold strategy in later stages gets crushed by this limping/minraising tards. also there is a lot less foldequity when playing versus them. its not folded to me that often that i get the opportunity to steal or make a move

If they minraise, look for good spots to shove over at higher blinds. If their ranges are wide, they're going to fold minraises a lot, and if they don't, you'll tend to have the best hand anyway. Punish limps where you can.

At lower blinds, try to see flops with good speculative hands when you can limp them, and don't worry about calling minraises with good one-pair hands. I certainly wouldn't shy away from good 3bet spots where I am decently ahead of their range.

Generally, you're going to want to play a value game against fish, but that doesn't just mean you have to be a big nit. The bottom line is that you make sure when you put a lot of chips, you figure to be best.

The gf has started playing $1 DONs on stars. Any sites doing videos of these sngs?

Villain 43/27/6 in only 44 hands played. Is it possible to play here?

not really. you rarely flop good enough and he will most likely bet with his af6. option b would be a shove but i think we get called too much from such a player.

87s looks good but its still only 8 high, any 2 overcards like K9 beat us. you have to wait for another spot and it shouldnt be too hard to get his whole stack in the middle when you actually have a hand. most of the betting will be from him.

How do guys mass multi sngs record their p&l?

hi everyone, I got this qustion.who is the best sng player on earth?
1.100% knows opps range and use ICM 100% right
2.know everyhand behind choose best chance to go

which one shoud I be catch up~TY

how to calculate what wiz is calculating?

is this method right?

blinds 250/500
hero BB with 3000 chips
sb shoves with 4500 chips

3500 in the middle (effective for me) and 2500 to call => 3500/2500 makes 1.4 or 1:2.4 potodds means i should win around 41.6% of the time to make a call. now i put my hand in pokerstove and play around with his shoving range (100% 80% 60% etc...).

then i compare the potodds with villains estimated shoving tendencies and pokerstoves output on my hand vs his range.

right?

Hi guys! Im thinking on moving to STT-s on Stars.
I have some questions regarding to 9handed $27turbos on Stars, i'd be happy if i could get some answers.
-Is it possible to play 120 games a day, 6-8 tabling, 8-9 hours, at the $27s?
-How soft is the field? Is 2-5% ROI sustainable in these?
-Which is more profitable, the 6max or the 9max?

hey all. I have a Mac and noticed that Sit n' Go wizard won't properly download. Is it not compatible with OSX? if not, what other software would you recommend? Thanks

I am not sure where to post this.

After seeing this, I checked their location and its the same!
What do you guys think? I am not sure if I should post their account name here. I already contacted pokerstar support about it.

I play on a Macbook and I bought a copy of Windows 7 specifically for poker so I can use SNG Wiz, HEM, and TableNinja. I switch to Windows when I play poker and switch back to OS X when I do literally anything else. I would suggest this.

1. Yes
2. Yup, tho only the best grind out 5-7% rois now. Be prepared for breakeven / slight ROI if you're not real solid
3. 6max imo, but really learn to play both and game select the juiciest games
