I've been playing 6 max SNG's, i prefer them to FR because theres more hands, more action etc. I started with a $50 BR, built it up to $100 playing $2 sng's, then moved up to $5, built up to $140, then got a downswing which took me under $100, moved down to $2 SNG's to try to rebuild, and so far i've been slowly losing and i am now back to my original roll of $50. Thats right.. i can't beat $2 SNG's

So far my ROI for $2 SNG's is 6% over 200 games.

I play similarly as i would in a 6 max cash game. 18/14. Tight in SB, BB, UTG, and get looser as i get to the BTN. Raise 3-4x PF, and c-bet when conditions are good.

Many times, i find myself as super short stacked when theres 4 or 3 players left, and forced to shove with Ax type hands, which leads to my demise.

perhaps i should tighten up? what is some general advice you can give to playing 6 max. Links to other threads/articles etc.. would be nice.

it seems you maybe playing too loose early on from the BTN/LP. maybe your playing too tight from the SB too, probably missing alot of 5-15BB pf shoves if your say your playing tight from SB, im pretty sure your missing unexpliotable shoves. post some hands and im sure people here can help.

Best advice on beating the 2.25 6max on FTP....

Press the sit out button until there are three players left, then go into fold/shove mode.

Okay, joking a bit, but it's not too far off base. I used these to build up my BR as well (from $45 as well), but found that I soon reached a point of no return and quickly stagnated after a bit. You just don't win enough when you do win to make up for the times when you don't. I'd say switch over to FR when you get a chance, as you make more when you place ITM, and they pay one more spot. The 6max's can become a crapshoot more often than not.

Rake is too big at $2 sng. And seems like 18/14 is too tight for 6-max
