You’ll find a lot of players getting too attached to top pair hands early on, so make sure you’re not putting too much of your stack at risk with just a pair.Īlthough I like to loosen up early on, it’s important to be patient. This isn’t an excuse to play A4s and K9o from early position! Try and get in to see some cheap flops with low pocket pairs and suited connectors…the more limpers the better. You should be looking to hit the flop cheaply and try to double through with a big hand.
Here, your implied odds are at their highest, so play speculative hands in position or even out of position if their table is loose/passive pre-flop. I’m not a fan of playing super tight in the first few levels, because a lot of the loose players will throw their chips away and you want to be getting your share. You should be betting for value (not bluffing), as the table will play pretty loose. My SNG of choice is the Stars NL 2-Table Turbo, so the blind levels illustrated below directly correspond to it.Įarly on, play is driven by the cards you pick up.
The first part will explore early and middle play, and the second part will focus on bubble and heads-up play. In this two-part article, I’ll explain how to adapt your game as you move through the blind levels of a Turbo SNG. Turbos have taken off lately due to their reputation as a quick and exciting way to play tournament poker.
