I play a lot of short handed sitngo's, but I'm not confident about my play when it comes to winning it. I end up second a lot. I steal a lot of pots but at a certain point the bang cost's me my leading position or my whole stack.

What's a good general strategy when you're up or down in chips in comparison to your component?

As a basic approach raise every unraised hand preflop and raise most flops.

I do this. But my component will figure it out after a while and takes advantage of it somehow. At least that's what I think.

I'm in a sitngo right now (full ring). I will try to scetch some of lmy losst games later on so you can see more details.

You're going to need a fairly big sample to get a sense of where you are. If you are regularly losing HU with 2 to 1 advantage then clearly something is wrong, but be careful that you are not just remembering the times you lost. Have you got figures for your heads up games, number played and number won?

I like that

Well, I just won my first full ring SNG. It was a allin fest from the start (I know, quite uncommon for a SNG). But as fast as I was heads up again, I was thinking of loosing again instead of winning. This guy went allin twice before I called him allin with qq. I won it here.

So this is not realy a good sample of my problem, Allthough I think your advice already helped me irexes and marm, so thanks.

depends on the stacks

<12bb, it is all in or fold time in my opinion

>20bbs, you play poker make standard raises .
