Message: [QUOTE="bubbasbestbabe, post: 426274, member: 3976"] The bigest diference in playing the SNGs and MTTs vs ring games is part mental set, part card play. In your tourneys you have a set number of chips. Because this isn't "real money" most players play looser on the hands they have. By this I mean you are willing to commit a potion of chips to the pot with the thought in mind that if you lose you still have chips to continue with,(unless its an allin call). When you play ring games your hand playing should tighten up till it squeeks. Especially in low limits. If you play only the premium hands you will clean up. Some bad beats will still come your way but your bankroll will increase drastically. Fish think they are gods of poker and nobody will call their bluffs if they throw a vast amount of money in the pot. It is hard to make that transition when going back and forth between the two types of games. I think that is one factor that separates the pros from the amatuers. [/QUOTE]
