Questions about SNG

For blind stealing, remember your pot odds concepts. If you raise 3xBB, it only has to work 1/2 as often as raising 6xBB for it to be just as profitable.

I would suggest, for now, having a standard raise amount for preflop raises, and almost always raising that same amount whether you have a hand or whether you are stealing. Get plenty of experience under your belt before you start making things more complicated than that.

I still almost always raise 3 or 4 BB (3 from UTG, UTG+1, and LP and 4 from MP) as a standard raise, and only rarely vary from that.

Remember that if you are short stacked enough that a 3xBB raise would effectively committ you to the pot, you might as well go ahead and raise all-in.
