    All I play are 18-mans, honestly it really surprises me how loose you have to shove in the other tournament formats, because even in the money with the short stack you aren't supposed to shove any ace on the button a lot of the time in 18-mans. Doing a lot of sng work it seems like you just generally need to be a lot tighter in 18-mans the way the pay-out structure is. A lot of the 9-man regs do 18-mans occasionally and they shove WAY to wide, which I find really interesting, I am looking forward to see what you have to say about them :) .

    Yeah 18-mans are definitely the most irregular SNG, because the pay jumps are the same from 4th to 1st, compared to all other SNGs where the jump from 2nd to 1st is usually the biggest. Your strategy definitely has to be adjusted, as 18-mans have the same bubble situation throughout. I'll get into it more next video though.

    Thanks for all the help. I usually play alot of tables, but I play a higher ammount and in a more robotic way when I'm stuck for the day/week. I guess it may have something to do with me hating variance, so I unconsciously see mass multi-tabling as reducing variance, but at the same time my ROI is greately affected by all those misclicks. What I know is that I DON'T want to be some break-even rakeback pro, so I will do everything I can to get my leaks fixed.
