6-Max Turbo SNG Strategy

[holdemholmes]

I have been playing these for a while now on Stars, and I feel that I have been doing well but I am always looking to improve and looking for opinions from others on a couple things. Consider all these questions regard total unknowns that you have no experience with at all.
1. How do you alter your play in the earlier stages to build your stack faster?
2. How do you play when the blinds start getting high and you have around 10bb? What is the raise size you would make first in the pot...would you go 3x or just put the entire stack in. What i'm looking to determine is what is the best bet, since you will need to steal some blinds occasionaly and will not only be playing the nuts.

tight early.  and when you get to 10 bbs any hand you play you should be shoving.

Just ran across it the other day, and I'm starting to think it's a great idea....

My guess is that you will be surprised by some of the optimal plays especially around bubble time.

shoving ATC is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay closer to optimal that what you might think a good shoving range would be ime.

Yea this is kind of what I'm thinking the more I look around and ask questions. Also, I watched this video called "Folding Wars" which is all about sit and gos.....very interesting...I believe it was on 2p2.

I've had a sng player sweat me a few times, and its pretty funny to hear some of the stuff he'll be saying to shove, and there are some supprising folds too. sng wiz is a good program, I've only used the free trial tho

6max turbos are my fav sngs.  I've played about 1500 and I have found them to be great bankroll builders.  As silly and basic as this is going to sound, my strategy is often to be tight tight tight early and when you get to 4 handed (which will be about the time you have 15 BB each), you really start open shoving in good spots, basically anytime it's folded to you and you have any type of showdown value.   It's not hard to get 3 handed in these, but it is basically all about shove/fold equity.

with 15BB, 4 handed in a turbo, my shoving range would probably be:

any suited
any ace
any king
any pp

Pretty close, but I extend it down a bit into the QJ and 9Ts
