My status is Silver

I have been using the Beginners Strategy for $1.50 buy-in SNG 9 player turbo games on PokerStars.
My game has improved from being in the money 33% of the time to now being in the money 40% of the time.

I need some guidance as to what charts to use beyond the beginners strategy charts. For example, is the S'N'G Strategy handout the next step up from the beginners charts? What is the next step after that, the Push or Fold Charts?

Although my game has improved, I'm still losing slowly ie losing $100 over a period of 90 days on average in the $1.50 buy-in SNGs.
I feel that I am close to a break through but not quite there yet.

Maybe I am overlooking something but it has not been clear to me what the step by step progression is regarding the various SNG charts.

Switch over to the $1.50 knockout 9-man SNGs. Less rake and slower structure. You will make money there. Simple.

Thanks Metza for the link.

Also, I am a PokerTracker4 user and will edit my hud as I believe you are suggesting.

Huh? No, ignore that, that is just my forum signature (shows up on every post I make) so that when I post in the hand evaluation forum the hand evaluators can easily see what the stats I post mean. :f_biggrin:

This is one of the HUDs I use for 6max cash games, I am sure there are much better HUD's you can use for SnG. Hopefully someone can recommend you some stats to put in.

Your next step is moving beyond charts. Take a deep look at ICM, and play around with an ICM calculator. Learn to recognize spots that come up, and try to know if a hand is a push or fold instinctively.

A great way to start doing this is to use the web based holdem resources calculator. Input some stack sizes, and before you hit calculate, try to guess what the range would be for each spot, try changing the stacks a bit and estimate the changes.

PS I don't mind helping you out a bit, add me with the com tool and send me your skype ;)

Good luck!

Hey guys,

I've moved this thread to our SNG Discussion board to see if we can get some further comments :)

Best regards,
Gary
