I just won another SNG at Full Tilt Poker (http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/?aff=1956). I'm still playing the lowest price SNG. I think I'm ready to move up.
This was a particular interesting tournament. The table was particularly tight. I was able to steal alot. The key to this win though was taking notes. You've got to use the tool when available. I like to label my opponents tight vs. loose and passive vs. aggressive. My bluffs usually happened by limping in, since that's what everyone was doing and if I sensed that no one had a hand, I'd raise.
The first player out was the best. He was attacking anyone when he sense weakness. This guy, you can sit back and wait for a big hand and then come over the top. In fact, many times just going over the top forced this guy out.
On player was down to 24 in chips. He build his chips up to 1200 and he goes all-in. I'm dealt Ace-King. This guy was so lucky that I knew I'd lose to him with AK. I called and he flips pocket tens. I was right, he won.
He miraculously regained a lot of chips and wound up in the final three. When we were down to three, I became aggressive. I threw in a standard raise every hand and took 6 hands in a row without ever seeing a flop.
When it came head-to-head, I trapped my opponent to 200 chips with trip Queens. He was blinded in the next two hands. I was dealt really bad cards. Soon, he had the chip lead on me. I continued to raise all the time and I moved 1,000 over his stack.
One thing to know is that almost any hand can win head to head. I like to see where I stand with big card. I'm finally deal J-T off. I figure I'm going to end it now and I pull a straight on the river.
Cheers.
