The answer is a clear no, and this lesson is going to show you why. Should your decisions be exactly as “cautious” as those that you make in a SNG? Imagine that you are playing in a cash game where you only have one buy-in available. Of course this is true, but simply knowing this fact is not enough when it comes to evaluating chip value. Therefore, it is often argued that one should handle their chips more carefully and wisely in SNGs. For example, in most SNGs you can’t re-buy after you lose all of your chips. Surely you have an intuitive sense of how important chips are in SNGs. Why is this ability so crucial and what does 'chip value' actually mean? Naturally, as you gain a fuller understanding, you will make more profitable decisions at the table. By doing so properly, you will be able to better understand the trade-off between risk and reward in all of the situations you face. One of the most important skills for a SNG player is the ability to understand and calculate the real value of chips.
