Collin Moshman returns with a SNG video on a high equity topic. 

The focus is on big pots in SNGs reviewing some hands that he played online. By big pots we don't mean obvious preflop get-in hands like AK vs QQ, but more surprising hands that end up in big pots. 

The video covers preflop and postflop, as well as when to get involved in big pots and when to avoid them. 

SNG play is typically quite tight and the old mantra used to be to avoid going broke by playing big pots, preferring to preserve chips. However, in the modern game, you need to be able to play well postflop and sometimes that means playing tricky big pots.
