Interesting Heads-Up Sit n Go Strategy
This is an interesting strategy I've heard of. I've tried it out and have received some pretty good results!
The Strategy
If the pot has not been raised, you bet or raise the minimum.
Only if your opponent raises do you do anything different. If your opponent raises you must decide what to do based upon your hand strength etc as normal.
THAT'S IT - IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE!!
By constantly min raising you put your opponent under pressure and force them to make a mistake. You are always the aggressor as well, which can only be a good thing.
Try it out and let me know how you get on.

Bankroll Management
One of the most important skills you can develop as a poker player is that of bankroll management. Because of variance (the natural luck element of poker), even if you are a skilled player you still run the risk of losing your bankroll if you don't follow proper bankroll management.
Here are the rules:
Sit n Gos
To play a sit n go tournament, you must have at least 30 buyins for that tournament in your bankroll. For example, if you want to play a $10 sit n go, you must have at least $300 in your bankroll.
MTTs
To play a multi-table tournament, you must have at least 100 buyins for that tournament in your bankroll, For example, if you want to play a $20 MTT, you must have at least $2000 in your bankroll.
Rebuys
For rebuys, you need at least 300 buyins.
Cash Games No-Limit
If you are playing short stack strategy (sitting down with 20 big blinds), you should have at least 30 buyins in your bankroll, which equates to 600 big blinds. For example, if you are playing short stack strategy at the $1/$2 limit, you need at least 600 x $2 = $1200.
If you are playing big stack strategy (buying in for the full amount of 100 big blinds), you should have at least 25 buyins in your bankroll, which equates to 2500 big blinds. For example, if you are playing short stack strategy at the 50c/$1 limit, you need at least 2500 x $1 = $2500.
Cash Games Limit
For limit games, you should have at least 300 big bets in your bankroll. For example if you play $3/$6 limit games, you need at least 300 x $6 = $1800.
If you follow these bankroll management rules, you will protect yourself against downswings and ensure that you do not lose your entire bankroll.
Good luck at the tables!
