I've been playing socially for years, but fully admit to finally being dragged into real action along with the rest of the TV crowd about a year ago.
I've played a fair amount of 3/6 at the local Indian casino, and typically do fine for someone that is still pretty green (read 6-8 hours of play and within 50 bucks of even either way). I've played 6 live NLHE tournaments at said casino and finished in the money (3rd) once.
I've struggled online a lot playing 3/6 at party, I always play sound tight poker, (and know to use that table image to steal a decent pot here and there) for a few hours and get up a couple bucks, but instead of walking away when I'm up I "tighten up" and just smooth call/fold my
way back down, then go on tilt and leave even (if I'm lucky) or down 50
bucks or so.
Between online and live since I started playing, I'm basically even (to
be honest I've kept track and I'm up ~150 bucks, but you know... that's
about even)
I've recently started playing the 10+1 and 20+2 sit and go's on paradise (I uninstalled party after doubling my BR and then blowing it all in less than three hours). I'm finding this one table tourney structure to be much more to my liking. I've been in the money enough that over about 25 games or so in the last week I'm just above even. Sure, I'm not making money, but I'm learning a TON about how to play this game.
Here are my general observations of the sit and go's so far:
Basic by the book tightish solid play in the early rounds is advisable.
The crazy all in on every hand guy will bust one or two players before he busts himself most of the time, NEVER call crazy all in guy unless you have the proverbial monster (better yet the nuts) in the early rounds.
If crazy all in guy makes it past the early rounds, he might turn out to be a decent player who was just "gambling" to get a big stack and now suddenly knows how to use his chips. (This one I'm not sure about as a general rule, but I have seen it a few times so far, could be a result of the low entry fee games I'm playing).
Chip leaders are often very aggressive towards short stacks and no one ever seems to "check it down" when a short stack is in, so you can sometimes get yourself a nice pot if playing behind the chip leader who
has called a desperation all in during the middle rounds with less than
stellar cards.
CL's in the later rounds are either really solid, bullying the lesser stacks or nervous and just want to finish in the money allowing you to slowly siphon off chips if you have even semi-decent cards and make smart bets if you're behind.
If you're middle stacked with 4 or 5 players remaining, chip management
is huge. Getting out of the way of the other middle stacks who try to double through the chip leaders often will lead you to the money. As many times as not, the CL will be busted out by a few losses to the short/middle stacks followed by tilt O rama. Patience is the key to the
money here.
Short handed is by the book reasonably aggressive play and if you are CL, blind stealing is pretty easy.
Heads up, often being patient will get you the win, I've found often that the other player is happy to be second and will take silly chances, presumably figuring that they are happy to be in the money and
will coin flip anytime.
Well those are just some general comments.
Personally, the things I've noticed I need to work on is staying tight early. Sometimes I try to over bet way to early and end up getting nailed.
In my 25 or so entries, I seem to either bust out 9th or 10th or finish
in the money. I've got a few 4th or 5th but very few.
I would love comments on a few things:
Do you more experienced players agree with my general observations of the game?
Any other tips that are particular to sit and go single table tourneys that is not obvious?
I've read a few archive posts about paradise not being the cats' pajamas, but I've liked it more than party in terms of the players. Seems I get more traditional responses to traditional moves. However, I've only played online at Paradise for a week, and a few months on Party. Are their other places I would be better of playing?
Anything else you want to say to a guy who is having fun playing and hopes to build a BR big enough to get into some higher entry fees sit and gos.
thanks,

~ Wow this post is from so long ago, I'm just looking through and found this group and wanted to check and see if I could still reply here with <a href="https://flopsets.com">Poker content</a>
<a href="https://flopsets.com">Poker content</a> should work like a charm. If you want to keep posting here you need to request a certification code from this newsgroup's Senior Coordinator. But he may not like someone with two first names.
Once I didn't know how to play poker, but later I became very interested in this card game and began to learn. Gradually acquired skills and became an avid poker player, and very successful. Now I beat gaming clubs and players on a professional level,
especially when I play online casino
https://jennycasino.com/ slots and gaming bonuses. The conditions are good and it is convenient to use the Internet portal, and the winnings are pleasing.
