Message: [QUOTE="Thewebmaster, post: 292303, member: 474"] [b]Hi 10ured[/b] Hi 10ured, To say I never go all-in pre-flop is slightly misleading, I will call an all-in pre-flop occasionally but won't go all-in pre-flop myself is more accurate. It varies on the table your playing, I get a lot less all-in pre-flops on $20 and $30 SNG's than on $5 and $10 ones. You get a much more "sensible" game probably due to the fact it's more money and the players at least want some play time and don't want to take too many risks. I see a lot more when i'm playing $5 and $10 SNG's though and i'm not really sure why that is. With so many new players constantly entering the SNG's it's getting much harder to assume what they have, especially early on in the game. The scenario you mention at one time you could have guessed almost exactly what the other two players had because of the amount bet, the chip stack etc..but now? I've seen players go all-in pre-flop with 2 and 3 offsuit, pure stupidity really and when so much money is at stake I wonder why they are even playing. I fold a lot early on in the game more to find out what the other players are like, not becuase I have bad cards, once the blind has gone around the table at least once then I will call more flops while it's still cheap to see if I can hit the "monster" flop. 10 to 15 minutes into the game with only 5 or 6 players you can usually tell what player is the "bluffer" which one is the "aggressive" and so on. The scenario you mention? I would fold early on in the game, but if the same scenario presented itself late in the game then it might be worth the risk as you know how the other two have been playing. A lot of my wins come from how the other players have been playing and not just good cards, there are some SNG's where I just can't get anything, or I just had one good hand which has kept me in the game, it's also a good thing ( or a bad thing depending on your point of view ) to show your cards when you have everyone beat, if you do this several times then later in the game you can do one big bluff and get away with it as everyone thinks "forget it, he's got another good hand". Last point : If your going to risk calling a pre-flop all-in that could be more than a little risky at least make sure that your either in the money or you can at least leave yourself some chips if you lose. :) Don't know if this has been any help, let me know as I do go on a bit sometimes ( well most of the time,lol ) Tony ( The Webmaster ) [/QUOTE]
