Once again i will take you though the battle of the single table sng tournament.This time we are at a single 9man SNG. Currenty the blinds are 10/20 and i have 1500 in chips. As usual i am player the Zone System by Dan Harrington ALA Donkey! So far this morning i have cashed all three SNG's i have played. And becuase of varience and my lack to cash them regularly.
I have been working all week on using a timed aggression;And the ability to make moves at these lower limits.As i have done in the past i will post key hands and situations! Right now i have 1650 in chips after winning a few small pots. This is one thing that i have change in my SNG early on. Instead of rasing say 5x the BB i will only raise 3x the BB early on with sneak hands,such as 57s/67s/78s/ect.
This way i can control the size of the pot;Becuase early on i am not looking to play into big pots unless i have a top three hand,AA/KK/QQ ect. The first thing i try to do is spot the fish at the table,and so far i have not been able to do this.Everyone seems solid so far but the donkey will jump out soon enuff.The second thing i look for is the overall table image.
Is the table tight or loose in which this case, the table is just a hair tight. I currently have 1600 in chips and the blinds are 15/30.Full table and green Zone play as i am still assesing the table! Blinds are now 25/50 and i still have an M of 20.

Here i pick up AK and raise the unopened pot 4x the BB with my big hand.The hand before i tried to make a move on a hand on the river and lost $200. That was a bad play for me becuase i try to have a hand won by the turn.If i get can't a guy off a hand by the turn 9/10 ill let it go on the river.But playing this way buys me alot of free cards for the river.
Right now we have two short stacks at the table that would would love to play a pot with. My stack is not strong by far as i am in the Orange Zone.I can only play small ball poker and i can no longer draw or play small pair and suited connectors. Come4Play is totally dominating the table with his agressive play. I am only wating on the oppurtunity to bust him.

This hand made me chip leader for the moment!!!!!
With my M now up the 15 i am allowed to play more aggressive;But i must still make short small decisive moves. I must also be careful of the DOnkey with chips playing behind me.
5 players now remain with myself in 2nd place and COME4PLAY STILL IN 1ST.
