Playing Too Many SNG Tourneys

Poker Doom — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 03:21:52 +0000

For about 5 days a week for about 6 months, I’ve been playing T.H. and been gaining pretty much of a profit. However, just recently, my winnings were not that good and have been cut and my losses were moving up significantly.

Well, I realized may be it’s because I’m playing too many SNG tourneys. Any advise or the like you could give me?

By the way, I have gone from finishing ITM usually 1 or 2 out of 3 to perhaps one out of 5, however completing 4th or 5th systematically. Well, I believe I haven’t change anything on my play. Anyway, I try to see about 20% flop ratio as much as possible.

Thanks in advance,
Martin
Martin,

You may be experiencing normal variance in winnings. Every player goes through some type of variance. One thing you may want to do is have a fellow poker player sit down with you and watch you play and give their advice on how you play. Also, look at your hand histories in your past tournaments to see if there are any holes in your game or any problem spots. If so, work to improve them.

Inquiry about Discipline

Thanks for your response, but I believe there was a mistake with my question last time.

At times, I call a preflop bet to see the flop actually, opposing to what I’ve said beforehand which is a river. I won’t run after that bad hand if I feel I never made a hit, like for example in instances involving hands like A6 or higher kicker, 79s, 89o etc. I believe that calling typically up to $5 with such hands, and not catching, takes up a lot of cash. Am I right playing these hands late? Any suggestion?

By the way, what is the value of an Ax call, less than 2x blind, late to see the flop?

Thanks and sorry again for my question before.

Best regards,
Lee
Lee,

Calling with hands like the ones you are describing will end up being long term losers if you play them regularly. Some hands such as a suited ace or suited connectors can be good late position hand but I wouldn’t call many raises with them.

An Ax unsuited hand isn’t worth a call. An Ax suited hand may be depending on how many players are in the hand.
