first hand of a sitngo

[AlexMartin]

Call.  If he has AA then that's unlucky.  If he has KK you are a bit behind but still have the overcard.  Anything else, it's a coin flip or you are well ahead.

The problem with AK is that you are very rarely "well ahead"

Even if the guy has random crap such as T8os you are only about a 65%-35% shot.

In a sitngo I fold every hand for the first 3 levels unless it's AA KK or QQ


My god, and ppl give you action when you get a hand. What stakes?
p.s, what SnG affords you that luxury?

I remember the days when i used to complete with JJ from the SB, what a mug i was!

I don't need Jaikudo to go all-in for me to fold.

AK OOP @ lvl 1  is proper wank.

No they don't give me action which is great when the blinds are there for the stealing.

It's a tried and tested way of winning Sit n Gos

It's not really poker though it's just following a script like a robot

Fold. Im only calling here with aa, kk,qq. Ak is not a great hand given his range here, even if he is a total donk (which granted he might be given this hand). If you rate to +ev risking all your chips in a marginal spot is suicidal.

The use of these chips only comes effective later in the game, so for a few more levels the affect of doubling up is negligble.

I guarentee you 90%+ of top sng players fold this.
