Message: [QUOTE="Irexes, post: 505029, member: 13873"] Certainly most of the threads posted here differentiate between tourney and ring play and between SnG and MTTs. Though sometimes there are generic points that are more broadly applicable (neither ring nor MTTs are in fact rigged*). I'm an ok cash player but I certainly don't have much clue when it comes to the subtleties of ring games. The principles of odds etc are the same but a really successful long term game is a very different beast. This explains why though I find FPs posts both cool and interesting I seldom respond cause they are usually ring-based. I would disagree that tournies are about surviving. They are about making the final table (and really top 3), this requires putting all your chips with far less than the nuts a lot. Playing MTTs with survival as the goal results in lots of finishes just before and just after the bubble. Obviously you need to survive to make the final table, but it's not the defining characteristic of MTT play. I don't subscribe to the view that tight is right early in MTTs, so this may not be a widely held view. I also agree that SnGs (single table at least) are a world apart from MTTs. In the early stages they are about either folding or doubling up as far as I can tell. Later they have their own particular strategies around short-handed play and very big blinds which you only occassionally encounter in MTTs. The aggression required in SnG end game is unique I think. I reckon it would be possible to find a hand with the same chip stacks, position etc where the correct move in a SnG would be to fold, in Ring it would be to call and in an MTT to raise.
