A few hours into the night playing NL50 live everyone decides they want to play a $10 rebuy + 1 addon SNG. I'm already tilted after getting 1 outered AA vs A3 (someone showed the case 3) and "flipping" AKo vs JTo aipf, so I oblige. I've played SNG's before, and have a basic grasp of push/fold mode, stealing blinds, pounding short stacks, etc. But what is this? Suddenly, the people calling 6BB raises in our cash game with hands like 82s and whatever the fuck, have all become a bunch of tamed timid little monkies. Awww, im sorry, does the threat of busting out suddenly influence your decisions my pet? Are you short already by level 3 because you limp folded half your stack away and now even a basic preflop raise puts you to a decision for all your chips?

Wow, these fucknuts suddenly went from being the loosest donks in the history of poker to the tightest nits you've ever seen. And when they finally do decide to get it in, the 30/70 flip they're being offered holds and they bust. Or they're a favorite and lose to variance. I'm liking this. Thats the one thing I always did like about tourney's, letting donks knock each other out for you, and improving your EQ as a result of them dropping out. One less idiot to contend with.

I win the first one for $100 1st place, "fuck yea". I got it in bad a couple of times BvB, but with some sick luck outdrew my opponents. They played it terribly anyway. Flatting A6o in the BB, flopping TP, and waiting till the turn to stack off. GTFO. We play a few more that I bust from and then the game goes back to cash. BOOM, here come the suckouts. I get felted AQs vs 73s. I'm having a pretty hard time holding it together and not just lashing out at everyone, so he says (and I shit you not) "theres a method to the madness man. I was dealt this exact same hand my previous hand. 73dd twice in a row? I had to call" Just like fucking that. Naturally flop came 797 for him.

Soooooooo... maybe I'll stick my head in a few more low stakes SNG's. I always hated the concept of playing for an hour just to win $0, but I fucking love using my edge to just completely fuck up their ability to play, and letting other players do some of the work for me at the same time.

No joke, the secret to winning live tournaments is to not play any hands until you're on the bubble and then just become super aggressive.
