Hello everybody!
Have a couple of questions, 1. Can u give me some advice about 9max Sng, like a strategy to play becoes at the moment my strategy looks like doesn't realy work, i do try to play at the start tihgt and agresive (only premium hands and pairs like 99+) , or maybe it´s just a bad luck! today i played 3 $0,50 9max Sng lost all of them 1st one i loose becoes i did stupid thing try to bluff, 2nd i was short stack i had 5BB left, blinds as i remember was 125/250. So i get AKsuited, i was in early position so i think that was my opportunity to doble up, i push all in, 1player call he had JJ, and he hit J on the flop. 3rd. Again was short stack i just push all in with A7 1 call with 44. is it a bad luck? Or my play is fucked up?
2nd It's about fpp on poker stars where i can see them, i can find the VPP , but don't know how much fpp i got, i wan to play some tournament for Fpp, and if i don't reach the next VIP level, my VPP and FPP disappear?
Thank you for reading i know it's difficult to understand me.
Sorry for my bad Eanglish hope you understand what iam ask for.

Listen its pretty hard to give you advice on your play since you give only 3 examples which is not enough to see a trend in your play this could be just no luck and you will come back winning in the near future.
Second if you are using pokerstars 7 then you open the cashier in the summarry you can see your FPP and both VPP or FPP do not disappear unless you use your FPP to play.
I hope this answer your questions and wish you good luck in the future.

you earn your VPP from rake... for example if you play cash game evry 1 buck of yours that goes to rake you got 5,5 VPP points, when you are playing tournaments or sit and go vhere is for example buy in 11$ (10+1$) that is 1$ of rake also and you also get 5,5VPP... your VPP doesnt disapear but if you are for example bronze star and want to get chrome you have to earn 100VPP in one month... And you know you got FPP points also when you get VPP... for chrome and bronze you got 1FPP for 1VPP, when you are silverstar you got 1,5FPP for 1VPP, gold 2FPP.... hope I helped you

Hello man, I guess I am not really the right person to give you any advice on how to play a sit n go, but I can assure you that your shove with AK was definitely correct. With only five big blinds it does not matter in which position you are with that strong hand.

Maybe u try first to play double or nothing sng.I think is a good way to get experience in sng play and is easier to win a little bit.When I play sng I play the most time 6max.I see many players they get in panic when they lost 500chips so they got only 1000 chips.There is no reason to have panic.You can read a few artikels about sng strategy the rest will come when u play a while.And you must find the right way for you,some players are good cash game players,others play good sng or tourneys and other player are allrounders.I write this while I see you are 18 and I think you're new to the game maybe that help a little bit

Well yes i play poker abot 6month but not every day! My Bankroll doesn't realy let me play 6max, becoues buy-in is $1,50 and my bankroll at the moment is $12,39. i had around $25 but than i sit down and play poker when i was very drunk, that's the worst thing you can do.
And it's funny i can't get in top 3 from 9 people but 10 minutes agou i played BRM frerroll on stars ang get 35 place from over 5k people. And i read a lot about poker watch videos and then test my game, today i find one nice video abot sng i hope it's gona help me.
