See, thats exactly what I mean. You can either rely on luck to catch the right hands, or you can make something happen with less than premium hands. Watch Danny N play some time for example: he plays the kinds of hands that make you shudder in disgust but pulls off just enough pots to make it profitable. Of ourse, the big premise here is you have to be able to outplay your opponents after the flop.

If you have a bunch of callers and you are in late position, you can take a flop with the nice drawing hands ie: anything suited, possibly connectors, and see if you hit the flop. If you miss, no big deal as long as you haven't paid too much for it.

This is exactly why I like Stars setup better with 1500 chips to start with, you can afford to wait for good hands and still have plenty of chips to battle with. The manics will still be gone in the first 20 hands no matter how many chips you give them.

My SNG strategy is to play fairly tight the first few rounds when the maniacs will be going all in on crappy hands. I will limp into pots if I have position but I will not get committed to the pot unless I have a strong hand.

Just to clarify, Im not talking about seeing flops with J6off or anything like that, even Kx suited (if I draw, I want to draw for the nuts, played too much omaha to feel comfortable on a king high flush)
