SNG 6-Max Turbo Beginner

Hi,

I have always enjoyed poker, I have watched many EPT/WSOP tournaments but only recently started playing micro stakes 6-max SNG turbo and I don't know whether I am just getting unlucky or I am playing wrong - I am assuming it is the latter. I have read through the SNG basics and have been watching many coaching videos on the topic but I never seem to do too well, either placing second, third or fourth where only the top 2 cash.

I have used up the free trial of HM3 and I am now half way through my trial of PT4, looking to invest in one of them (not sure which at the moment) if:
a) I can start turning things around
b) I feel its a worthwhile investment in the long-run, i.e I plan on continuing to play.

I have hand histories and things like that which I can post, and may be better to do so, but as I said I am relatively new so not sure of the best format to seek guidance. I just feel every time I am >12BB and go all-in my opponent wakes up with a hand that has me dominated but I am willing to accept I may be doing things wrong.

Any help or advice/push in the direction of good learning material is appreciated.

Thanks

Razutwo

Hi Razutwo,
Welcome to the PokerStrategy.com forums! :welcome:;

Check out the SNG lesson overview
You may have done all the basic-level articles already, so the next important thing is to get to the bronze-level articles.

Check out the free money offers and bonus offers
Find one that you can use and follow the instructions carefully.

Hi VS

Thanks for your response, I will go over the material again and make sure I have it all down. I am currently playing on stars, would you recommend having accounts on multiple sites to make use of the free/bonus money? Can I link an existing account?

Thanks again,

Razutwo

What exactly this supose to mean? You are simply playing or not. Im not forcing anyone to do big volume numbers. I was just showing how it can go with proper motivation.
I had regular job last 3 years, i have 3 little kids, it is time and energy consuming on highest level, because i wanna give them as much as i can from myself. If you think work is holding you back in your life, you should change something in your life drasticaly.
I had many students with full time regular job. Most of them were motivated, they had no problem play decent volume.
As for me, I also studied a lot a played decent volume during my job period, just because i wasnt happy with it and wanted transition back to full time poker player. Its much better for my happy family life.

So who wanna do it is looking for ways how to do it, not for excuses.

Hi there :)

Very nice results. Do you play on PS to ensure you have sufficient volume? Did you ever play in 3.5d or at 15d and if so did you see any differences in field difficulty and/or results?

I played about 40k games on 15s, so yes. They are very similar to 7s, just more and better regs, so its usefull to select tables.

In the "good old days" many players played supreme volume, because even if they lost slightly playing poker, they made rather large incomes from rakeback.

In other words, "Quantity > Quality"

Now in the modern world, it is necessary to play quality poker, and if you can do that with fewer tables, it is +EV to drop down to six or even tables if it means winning more.
