SnG question

Lately i played only SnG .

I play a lot by the book and all is well untill close to the end. I play small SnG buy-in .

I have a problem. A big one. I do not consider myself a lucky person and it seems that i kinda loose 75% of the flip coins and even worse lately i lose to 3 outers a lot. But this is not the problem.

I play 6 ppl SNG 20c -50c buy-in.
People limp from the begining untill the end or are agressive for no reason.
95% of the time i get in the final 3 average stack 3000+ chips.
BB 300-400 chips.
How do i play hands like AJ, AQ, KQ, KJ, 1010, 99, from the buton?
I usualy raise 3 BB .
What should i do if someone goes all in? Call or fold?
They tighten a bit at the end but not too much.

If you only have 10xbb in late blinds you should be shoving with a lot of those hands. With exactly 10xbb on the button I shove with 44+, A8+, A5s+. KQs+ and when I drop to 8bb I shove with any pair, any A except maybe A2os, KT+, K7s+ and on down the line.

Raising is not really an option if you have less than 15bb's.

It seems you, like a lot of Sit N Go players, play good, solid poker in the early stages of the tourney. The next stage is to really improve your bubble play as this is where you will make or lose most of your money in relation to other solid early-stage players. Read everything you can about push/fold ranges, learn what you can about ICM and download the free Sit N Go WIz trial. This will help give you insight into which hands you should be pushing with and calling pushes with, from which position and against which opponents (relating to their stack-size and how tight/loose they are).

Try not to worry about losing coinflips, badbeats etc. You are not inherently unlucky in the long term. If you can start to make 'mathematically' correct decisions at the right time then it doesn't matter if you lose in the short term - it will definitely improve your profit in the lond run.

If you're final 3 you're alredy itm right? so if you have less than 10 bb you have to go for it shoving with any strong hand, because if you hit once you'll be in a pretty good stage

well,i will just call with AA KK QQ JJ when others all in,of course that is happen only you are the final 3 players.

And players with calling ranges like this is what makes it so profitable to shove so wide

OP plays 6plyr sng's, Top2 are paid so they're referring to bubble situation.

As mentioned above, if you have ~10bb or <10bb (although this can vary in a turbo format when blinds can be much higher compared to stack sizes), your preflop play is to 'shove allin'. Reasons for this, a) if you raise on a <10bb stack & then get re-raised allin, you will be getting ~2:1 to make the call & pretty much any hand you could raise with is a call in this spot;
you're putting your opponent to a decision instead of vice-versa, also if you've got a stack that is large enough to negatively impact villain's stack they will need a very good hand to make the call (<not always the case.... can be player read dependent as many will call down pretty wide).
If you look around you might come across a shoving chart (a chart that is designed to show what ranges are +EV to shove with, depending upon stack size & position)... or you could play around with Pokerstove & a the free trial of SNG Wiz and figure out your own ranges.

Thx for the advice guys .
I took only a little from them and my play has increased dramatically today. Or was just luck
What i did is to start steeling a little sooner when the blinds are 60 chips. I am not winning all but at least i finish in the last 2. I cand say that from 10 SnG played today i fisnished in the money without a problem. I still do not know how to deal with hyper agressive donks. The only solution i foud is to let them fight eatch other and than deal with the last one and overplay him when the blinds are high.


I have another problem. I downloaded SnG Wiz , installed it but it sayes that my 30 period of trial has expired.

I do not remember installing it ever and i installed my windows last week.

Anybody had the same problem?

PS. I found the problem. When it starts for the first time u have to verify your licence.
