"Dumb person": So the idea behind poker is to earn as much money as possible from dumb people who play bad hands. So, I figure I'm not dumb, I can capitalize on dumb people. No offense. | ||

You are making it sound like they are mentally handicapped, completely incapable of independent thought while a lot of the huge fish are probably very smart and very succesful people, seeing as how they somehow managed to accumulate enough money to play poker for a lot of money. If we are talking lower levels, then who cares if the players are dumb or not? Nobody is going to get hurt from losing a couple of hundred playing some low limit games -_- As for how the top level players earn money, well, I don't play nosebleed games but I suppose the really sick players feed off the slightly less sick players + the whales (such as Guy LaLiberte of Cirque du soleil fame, the 40 000, 60 000 and 100 000$ buyin tables fill up faaaaaaast when he's playing). | ||

Then playing cash will make you grow your capital faster than s&g. When your capital is big enough going for big sponsored tourney is a good way to go. Cash -> Capital Capital -> Tourneys Tourneys -> Fame&Fortune | ||

Grinding in Sngs is quite horrible imo. I know that i'm playing with horrible monkeys but after 600 games i only X2ed my br and i'm still being raped by the 20% rake of 1$ sng ... Maybe with 300 more games i gonna have a br 90 euros and take a shot at 5$ sngs or cash games  Quite depressing life time graph: ![[image loading]](http://pix.nofrag.com/4/9/7/1e633fe77f3aaa4e88aaeb31251b0.bmp) As you can see even with horrible opponents ( the others guys stats ) downswings can happen :o. Maybe i suck a bit too. I just ended my worst loss streak ( 12 short handed sngs without being ITM ) x). -12 euros yea ! | ||

I just wanted to say that downswings always happen, especially when u play sngs. It is like when i say "hey i'm D level, i think that D- people suck but my win rate vs them is only 80%" | ||

I'm not good so if my advices are bad, more skilled players can correct me  .For low level sngs ( 6 players 1$ ): - Play because you like poker. If you want to play poker because you are bored / you need money / you like to gamble, you will actually lose $. Only play when you are "ready" because you will need patience. If you just want to have fun, play bw. - Respect Bankroll management. You need at least 30 buy in or variance will rape you soon or later. - Respect position, it is very important. - Ax X < 10 are crappy, i don't like them and i only play them if i'm in a desperate situation ( low on chips and i will shove ) or big stack. The problem with this kind of hand is that even if u get an A on the flop someone has maybe an higher Ax. Nearly auto-fold if you are not in position. You can play them if they are of the same color. - Fold your AK / AQ / AJ / AA / JJ / KK / QQ if you feel that you are doomed. Any straight / flush own this. Beginners often think that this kind of hand is awesome but i fold them sometimes if the board is too scary. - Bet big pre flop when you have a good hand ( when you are in hu you can slowplay ) because slowplaying is really bad early game when many players are involved in action ( except if you have a monster combo on the flop ). - In sng i like to limp with small pockets when it isn't expensive ( early game ) because sets are real gold mines. But when the blinds are higher it is auto fold except if i'm short stack ( i will shove to get a coin flip ) or big stack facing a short stack ( same reason ). - read stuff on Liquid Poker ( the best advice in my post lol ). | ||

EDIT: I see you were talking about Sit n gos, I don't play those so maybe you need more buyins for that, I dunno. | ||
