In the previous article I discussed default pushing ranges on the bubble of a sit and go poker tournament. But of course, normally the situation is anything but “default”. SNG tournaments are at least somewhat similar to real poker, played mostly with real people, and real people have widely varying calling ranges. And usually the stacks are anything but equal, as often someone will have a big stack and three smaller stacks will be fighting it out on the bubble. Plus, there are often five or six players left by the time the stacks get down to ten big bets each, especially in higher stakes SNG’s. The correct pushing strategy is very different in each of these cases. This article will focus on adjusting to your opponents.
A common SNG situation is to have someone who calls far too much left to act far behind you. Far too much might mean calling with 20% of hands instead of 10, 50% instead of 20, etc. When facing a player like this, you have to tighten up your pushing ra

In part 2 I discussed the basis behind the “push or fold” SNG strategy employed by all top players in the middle and late stages of a SNG tournament. But what hands should you push with? The truth is that no guide could never give an exhaustive listing of every possible situation. But what I can do is give you a “default” sort of range here, then discuss the adjustments that you need to make to these ranges based on specific factors in the SNG - such as overly loose/tight callers, short stack players about to bust out, being about to take the blind that puts you with a very short stack, and others.
The following ranges all assume the following:
4 players remaining in the SNG, with your opponents all holding equal stacks of 12 times the big blind.
Other players’ calling ranges are normal for a low-stakes sit and go.
Blinds are not about to increase.
No antes.
You have a normal table image; that is, you have not been pushing excessively often in this

No limit hold’em has become the true game of choice over the past couple of years thanks to the television coverage and the proliferation of online capped buyin games. But getting started in the game can be tough due to its complexity, as skilled players have a big advantage over even the well-read beginner. Experience and discipline are key to winning at no limit hold’em, and these only come in time.
Fortunately the new player, or even the experienced player looking for an easy edge can turn the tables on the opposition by making one simple adjustment - buying in for less than the maximum amount of chips allowed. There are many advantages to this as will be discussed later in this series, but for now we will start with the simplest strategy of all, playing with stacks of only ten times the big blind.
Only a few sites allow the 10% or 10bb buyin, with the most prominent being probably the Prima Poker network. Many live games allow 10bb buyins as well, especially at the smal
