Wardonkey's Article

[sharpy]

  I would just like to say what a good article 'Wardonkey' has written(on the homepage if you havn't seen it).

  The good old STT's or sit n go's, whichever you like to call them, I feel are sometimes overlooked for the more 'glamourous' multi tournaments or cash games.They are often used to quickly build a bankroll before people move on to other forms of the game.I personally find stt's to be my strongest aspect of this great game called poker and articles like Wardonkey's I find quite valuable in trying to further my ability.

  It's good that someone of Wardonkey's calibre is willing to share his veiws on this aspect of NL Holdem, and I for one look forward to the next installment.

  There are probably some aspects where I'll have a different point of veiw but I will wait until Wardonkey has finished the series of articles before I start asking questions.

 cheers Mike

Thanks Mike,

I'm sure Snoops will put the rest up soon. I wrote it as one long essay, but Snoops serialised it as it would have been a long downward scroll otherwise.

I appreciate the feed back. It's the first time I've attempted any 'poker writing' and I keep thinking of things I could have put in, but I think It's long enough already!

I really enjoyed the article and looking forward to the next part.  The advice seems very useful and it's nice that a successful player will share this sort of advice with us.  Hopefully I might be  as good as you in the future

Yep, very good article wardonkey.
I also make consistent cashes in STT's. You can also play them with a relatively small bankroll, compared to MTTs.
I agree with most of what you said, bar 1 or 2 minor things, which I think are down to my own playing style.
Can't wait to read the next installment.

Some excellent advice. I seem to be doing ok at my level of $5-10$ STT, playing pretty much in the manner you recommend in your article. If you've got additional thoughts Wardonkey, they to would be appreciated I'm sure.
