Both of these are standard. Dude had 10bbs to begin on hand 1 so he's never raise/folding. #2 is uh-oh that sux.

[quote user="jesterwords"]About the only way to play this one differently would be to have raised more preflop, perhaps to 120, or 140. It gives away your hand a bit, but it also keeps the number of opponents in the hand down. [/quote] +1 You won't lose much value by raising more. Especially from EP, you want to raise at least 4x to discourage calls from ppl w/ position on you.

I can't find this on the internet (probably just not looking hard enough)... Does ROI include rake? For example, say a player has 0% ROI. Does this mean the player is breaking even overall? (Or is he actually losing 10% of the buy-in on avg.?)

First, I will compare/contrast the sites' structures in regard to one-table SNGs. Similarities: - opponents' strength - length of game - game selection Differences: - antes (Full Tilt has none) - blind levels (Full Tilt has more, in shorter periods) It doesn't seem like one strategy could be used on both sites with the same amount of success. I would like to know how to best adjust to the differences in the structures. Main questions: Is there a case for raising more hands at one site

Is there any way to prevent lobbies from popping up as soon as the SNG gets full? It's possible on PS, but on FTP the lobbies drive me insane.

I've tried that. They still pop up, just behind the game itself.

Very passive opponent. Hardly raises. Good result, but did I make the right move?

Obviously, he's calling my shove. My next question is how far ahead of his range must I be to profitably shove? I'm not great at ICM calculations, but I thought I was supposed to avoid big stacks on the bubble. Could waiting for the button to shove on the mid-stack possibly be a better option? It would be sweet if anyone could give me the numbers on this.
