I have been playing online 4 money about 2-3 months give or take. I have been mixing tween sng, ring and mtt. On the strength of a post I put here, and the answers I got (TY all vm btw) I am concentrating on SNG, and only SNG. I will stay at sng for about a month and then re-evaluate. I play the 1$ buy in. OK I am probably whining WAY too early, but 7 games, 1 1st , 1 2nd, 5 out - 1 in 9th place - ouch -. so with rake I am losing money. OK, I know 7 games are nothing, but 5 in a row dents my confidence. I am using a ultra tight beginning stage strategy, loosening up my range at around 50/100 BB, and keeping diligent notes on all villains. I dont have a big BR, maybe 33-34 buy ins including rake, so cant really justify going for the $3-5 games. I know I am a begginer, but I dont think I suk anymore - I sure did 4 a while, but have been watching, asking, playing, reading and so on VERY intensivly even tho its still such a relativly short time I have been playing. I read lots of stategy and some suggest going for the medium hands while blinds are cheap, although most suggest playing only premium hands till middle stage. As an example, If i have KQ suited UTG early stage, is it an automatic fold, as I have heard a lot? I am doing this but feel like I should be representing this stronger, just as 1 example. I also read that the fish will knock themselves out quickly, but at least in these few games, the playing was definitly loose, but not wildly stupid, and the players were going in on a much wider range than me, and Im losing... OK, I am gonna go back and play another, I will stay tight, but say a hand like KQ suit or PP 88-JJ, is it a question of positon only, say MP to button play, EP fold? The players are loose, and early in the game I have such little info to go with anyway, I know, a lot of questions in one shot, but I just played and they are fresh in my mind. I would tend to 3BB JJ or even 88-99, and even A5 suited, regardless of position, I know I can get blinded out, but I had KK and bet 5 BB, was raised 5 BB by a guy who was staying in on almost ATC, and he saw almost every flop, and raised with A7os and such, so I re-raised like 1/2 pot, he called, Q-9-7 hh flop, I bet like 50% his stack, he goes all in, I am commited by then anyway, He shows AQ os. well the turn of course brought his A, and the river helped me not at all. Sure ups and downs, I know but is my ultra-tight advice gonna pay off in the long run, or should I mix it up and when?? Whew, I am long winded...... ty for reading this, I will shut up now.......
