1. One skill that lots of beginners have trouble developing is the ability to put players on a range. In the case of sit and go’s, the most common situation where you need to put a player on a range is when they are short and are shoving all in.It’s also the most opportune time to build your stack, assuming you asses their range correctly.
2. When there is a raise before the action gets to you at this stage, you should generally go all in or fold with the only exception of maybe calling with a few marginal hands in the big blind.
3. Your opening range should be a little wider in the early stages. The typical online sit-n-go features a starting stack of 1,500 chips, an opening big blind of 20, and 10-minute levels.

Putting your opponents on accurate calling ranges is a key skill when it comes to SNG bubble play. This article is the first in a series that will look at how to turn your estimate of these ranges into simple probabilities that you can use at the table.

Whether or not you use these in conjunction with a mathematical model such as ICM or just go with your instincts. The chart below will help you assess the percent of times you will be called based on the range of cards your opponent(s) will call you with.

In Texas Holdem there are 1326 distinct combinations of cards that can be dealt before the flop. Out of these there are 6 ways of being dealt any pair and 16 ways of being dealt any of the unpaired combinations your opponent may play (for example Ace-King).

By dividing the total combinations by 1326 we come up with the percentage chance of your opponent having a hand they will call with on any one occasion. Of course the chance of any particular holding is also influenced by the cards you hold – look out for future articles here at SNG Planet where this will be considered.
