[blackops]

Can anyone suggest a starting hand guide for sit n go 6 max NL online games as well as 10 seat games online.

Thanks in advance

I could suggest a few ranges but I know mine to be far wider than those of the good players on here

I"m pretty sure whatever comes back will be some version of Harringtons tho. Check out the "Harrington on HoldEm" series of books if you haven"t already, they"re a great read.

Welcome to APAT newby

lukybugur is right

harrington on hold em volume 1 suggests opening hand ranges and from what positions

eg

10 man SnG

UTG  fold 10J unsuited but if your the button or cutt off and its folded round to you then it could be a good idea to open with it

thanks for the reply, I have started to read harington on hold em v1 do you suggest I stick to his range?

[lukybugur]

I suppose you can vary a wee bit from it ... or a big bit and become a donk like me!

[blackops]

cool I"ll give it a go and let ya know.

Not played much 6 handed, but when I did I opened my range to include the jokers and the instruction card.

Would need more info to be of any real help tbh, like what level your playing, how long you been playing, how well you understand the game. Why you need a starting hand guide? Generally they are only suggested for beginners as people tend to live by them vigorously and get found out quite easily, they aren"t great for developing your poker skills either!

Here"s some links to stuff that has helped me out in the past in relation to this subject, they vary from starting hand charts/opening range/general 6m strategy but nothing "SNG" specific!

, missed the "sit n go" first time round!!! I gues that"ll be tournaments then?

Just search Google for Sit n Go [SNG] [STT] strategy...you"ll find all you need.

To sum up... 1. Don"t bother with 6-max SnGs; 2. Don"t play any hand lower than KK until you have <= 10 BBs; 3. Get some idea of ICM [Google it], for when you are down <= 10 BBs.

[LongshanksED]

you need to get a feel for the table in the 1st few levels and judge how tight/loose the other players are

harington on hold em will give you a basic understanding of starting hands and what positions to bet or steal from - but you need to be wary of other players slow playing big hands and you only get a feel for that from watching the table

you also need to watch out for stack sizes - yours and others

must admit i play 5 man SnG and have decent results from it but generally i find the lower the stakes the more random players become

Thanks everyone just got my pc working again and have read the replies, maybe I"ll stick to the 10 man sng, the reason I asked was I started playing cash games and didnt do to well but was advised that these are easy money, just confused myself a bit I think moving from sng"s to cash, have taken on board what has been said and will stay with sng"s and yes I am new to this and have been playing for a few months now but any advise is welcome.

Thanks
