my early sng and bubble play are pretty proficient. (knock on wood)
i need some type of strategy, or video that can help me with

1. Equal chip stacks with low blinds.
2. When the villians chips stack is deep, and im short stacked with higher blinds.
3. Playing loose/aggressive opponents when short stacked with higher blinds.

basically im not getting my first places enough when i should be, prehaps im over playing my strong hands while playing too timidly with average hands.

any video or strategy would be appreciated.

It's posted in the general strategy, the post where you ask for it

Now I'm waiting the finale 4 players, the other table to finish. I get rid of my oppenents too fast.

I played a 2$ sng meanwhile, and won in the first end. Checked to the river, went all in on the river, with a full house, guy calls, I win.
Easiest 2$ ever made

Still waiting ... the other game
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Won the sng.

To win sng, thou shall not be afraid to bet. It may sound awful play, but my reads are so strong HU. Learn to do this successfully, and you will have success :

BET BET BET BET BET
Like I said in my strategy, thou shall see the hand has a HOLE, not street by street. What did I see ? Opponent having unpaired cards or bottom pair probably an A or str8 draw

The hand conversion did not work may be its not the right format.. This is my first hand.

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [Ts Tc]
Hero raises to 90
number123 raises to 160
Hero raises to 1,500, and is all in
number123 calls 1,340, and is all in
Hero shows [Ts Tc]
number123 shows [3s Ks]
*** FLOP *** [Jh 3d JavaScript]
*** TURN *** [Jh 3d JavaScript] [As]
*** RIVER *** [Jh 3d JavaScript As] [2c]
Hero shows two pair, Jacks and Tens
number123 shows two pair, Jacks and Threes
Hero wins the pot (3,000) with two pair, Jacks and Tens
number123 stands up
Hero stands up
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 3,000 | Rake 0
Board: [Jh 3d JavaScript As 2c]
Seat 1: number123 (big blind) showed [3s Ks] and lost with two pair, Jacks and Threes
Seat 2: Hero (small blind) showed [Ts Tc] and won (3,000) with two pair, Jacks and Tens


How did I play this? did I play the right way?

Now that I look at this I have to fold on the flop raise which I did not .. What was I thinking ???
