I have played 4 sit and go's since friday, Placed 3rd, 2nd, a terrible 7th, and today 1stMy new "strategy" is to be the first to wish everyone good luckThe one time i placed 7th i forgot to wish the room good luck. And i was beat by a runner runner two pair.

I ussually say "Who's going to be the first one to double me up?"Seems to work fine.

lol, then if ya lose they say get out of here lol But if ya win you the champ

[Smasharoo]

If I lose, I don't see the chat, if someone doubles me up (which is normally the case) I get to say "And the winner is...!!"

Well I've just gone back to playing some SnGo's on UB... playing the 5-10 dollar ones and a few 20's when I feel like making good money and im playing well. The 20 dollar ones go about 20-30 minutes longer but I have better results in those than the 5 dollar ones.I tend to play real tight... Opening it up when I see my spots... position, players in the pot etc... But I RARELY go all-in.In my head, I feel I am the best player at the table, so I try to keep the pots low unless I Know I have the best hand, this way I feel the longer I am there playing the more chance I have to mean. Now ofcourse that makes sense, because the last one standing wins, But I mean, I don't like throwing all my chips in early, even a 60-40 edge just for the simple fact that I think I'm better than that player and will pick a better spot in the future.

Besides wishing everyone good luck as part as my strategy lol. I myself play real tight in sit and go's. I play on party poker 5.00. You only get 800 chips. So it kind of forces you to play mainly "top ten hands" The blinds go up so fast, you just can't play the 89 suited cards. If I get good cards in the beginning I go hard. But my main thing is to kind of wait till 3 people get knocked out before me. Then when the table shrinks And i get ak, aq sometimes, aj, and pairs qq, kk, aa. If i am short stacked I go all in. The table is usually so tight at that time, getting the blinds is crucial. i will risk my whole tournament on those hands. If someone else raises and i have Aq Aj jj i will call. then see the flop.( i do play pairs early and late when blinds are high, 7 and up) This method is for Party Poker. But you cant use this method at pokerstars it would be the death of you. I usually place in the top three at party poker. Winning at party Poker, when down to final 2 is a coin flip basically, cause the blinds are huge and the min bet is 600 . if you got 4000 in chips, which is half of the total amount chips available. You can see why its a coin flip. If you are the short stack with 2500 chips thats one hand. hope for the best. Like to hear from other party poker players on their sit and go strategies.

Don't know the table or the site. "Who's up for all in on the first hand?"You'll get some that agree. I say this alot, but never do it. Once I did and got KK in early position. What the hey....I'll shoot KK. Out of all that agreed, there was one that held to the agreement. I admire that he's such a man of his word. He played 83. He won. 8 filled a straight for him. Aside from totally useless strategies like the above, I usually use much of the same thats already been mentioned plus, I don't chat. At all. I didn't intend to use it as strategy, I just didn't feel like chatting. After awhile I started noticing that if your not chatting, and don't answer posts, you are now "differant", the outsider. Its hard to describe exactly, but it does have an affect. Some people will just not accept that you won't answer and keep commenting, etx. If thats where he wants to focus...ok. Probably not for everybody, but I kind of like it.

If you're not going to chat, you should throw in confusing things once in a while.I like to pretend to be a bot."Assessing pot odds, one moment please...complete."
