Hey guys
I was looking over my plays and find that I think I try to play too tight late states of a SNG. In the early stages, I play really disciplined poker, playing only AA, AK, KK, and QQ in early stages and possibly AQ, AJ, and JJ if I get to mid/late position or sc if I can see them for cheap. As blinds get up to 40/80, I try to open up by playing ATo+ to steal blinds and if no one raises. However, in the medium stages where blinds get to 60/120 or higher, I do get below 10BB so I start shoving with Axs, ATo+, KQ+, and 66+ to start stealing blinds and survive. I do find that when I get down to 5 people left or the bubble though, I am short stack and there is a ton of pressure for me to shove, sometimes with any two hands (I can fold and stay patient up to 5BB but I know any lower and Im basically dead). I think that my frequent short stack dilemma occurs because I play too tight and I may need to open up more in the mid-stages so Im not short stacked all the time. Any suggestions of hands to add to my range?
