[QUOTE="IrishDave, post: 363499, member: 3388"]
I play mainly SNGs of the $5 and $10 variety and I've come to the conclusion that until you reach the final table a pre-flop raise is useless.  So many fish will play 2 suited cards or an ace-rag, and catch, that you're better off making a hand before you push.  Just won a $5, 27 person SNG at Stars and if I hadn't have used this strategy I'd have been knocked out in the first 15 minutes.  I layed down Qs and Ks because the flop was suited and both times the fish caught the flush with a card under a 9.  Be being VERY patient and picking my spots I was able to let the fish screw themselves and finally won an event on Stars.  Once we got to the last 5 or so, the play became more "normal" and you could play by the book - as raises were respected.

My thanks to my friend Grumbledook who cusses me out frequently for being way to impatient.  He is without a doubt correct on this one and I'm really focusing on that aspect of my game...
