Sorry if i am repeating something that was already said.

When i play poker i am for the most part a sit and go guy.
I play an occasional tournament and some cash games too. But SnGs are my forte.



Here's a handy little tool i use.

I use a point system sometimes when playing Sit and Gos.

It works out fairly well for me and helps me from playing to many weak to
mediocre hands.

Add up your points and play accordingly.

28 points only play in late position
30 points middle to late position
33 points all position

I believe the system would work as well in cash games or in tourneys
but i am not sure


The point system

A-16
K-14
Q-13
J-12
10-11

All other cards are valued at their face value
9-9 etc.

Pocket pairs 10pts
Suited 4pts
connectors 3pts
1 gappers 2pts
2 gappers 1pts

Example: You are dealt 10s, 10h in early position. 10 is worth 11pts and you have 2 so that is 22. You also have a pocket pair for another 10pts. so you have 32pts. Early position I am likely to fold these. Only have 32 need 33 to play. It's a close call.

That looks familiar. Is that the Hutchison System ?

Looks like it suitable more for blackjack. But if it works for you, so you have to test it more :)

So your system would have you fold TT UTG, but open with AJs??? 16+12+4+1

No thanks.

very interesting ... had not heard of this (Hutchison) system before but in thinking about it seems I follow it fairly closely in choseing what and when to play my cards pre-flop without realizeing it but I will try applying this into my play and see if it helps a little more....thnx for the info.
