Message: [QUOTE="feitr, post: 815107, member: 34106"] 50$ is plenty for 2$ HU SnGs. If you are a decent player, then you can play underolled for low stakes because the quality of play is very bad. At $5+ SnGs i would start using proper BR management however (anywhere from 20-50 buy ins), even tho the play at the 5$ SnGs is horrid as well. Unless money is tight, i'd give it another go with a 50$ deposit. There is actually nothing wrong with playing NL2 or 1.20 SnGs, just for me i would tear my hair out with the incredibly low return. But if you are happy to grind it out for a few months then by all means go ahead. If you try cash games tho, don't play short stacked unless you have alot of buy ins. As you said, the idea is to get all in preflop or on the flop so if you are constantly not connecting with cards, losing the races, or getting outdrawn then pretty wicked downswings are possible. And if you are blindly shoving the flop with a hand like AK even if you missed, this isn't going to be good against the calling stations in micro stakes who will probably call you down with bottom pair. Your stack is alot safer when you are playing deepstacked. As for 2NL play, although i don't think i ever played NL2/5 (i still think building a BR w/ SnGs then going into NL10/25 after you have a roll is better) you shouldn't worry about table image or trying to mix up your play. Play very tight, c-bet vs non-calling stations, and just value bet everybody else with made hands. NL2/5 isn't rocket science, just play very tight aggressive and let all the donks make mistakes. Nobody is going to pick up on or adapt to your play at those stakes. [/QUOTE]
