After my poker test let me know that my odd calculations were off by quite a bit, I have decided to go back and check out where I was going wrong and thought I would share that with you guys...
So here is some useful information that you might want to take a look at, I will post it in the side bar as an image you can all download!

Sit and Go training.
RIck Braddy makes these videos I believe... they are also available for free on itunes in the podcast section for those of you with an ipod, nice take for in the train and stuff!!
But anyway, the rest of the parts are in the right hand column of youtube for you to watch and I reccomend it. Like I said before I personally find that he is a bit passive int he middle stages but a lot of his tips are very useful. Myself, I like to steal a bit more as the play gets towards the bubble and make use of the scared money as people try to hold onto their stacks to make the money.
Remember TIGHT IS RIGHT especially early on, when the blinds are 10/20 they are not worth stealing and hands like J 10, Q 10, K 10, even A 10 and A J are just not worth the risk of playing. for those first few levels stick to AA, KK, QQ, JJ,AK, AQ suited at a REAL stretch 10 10, and 9 9 (in later positions only) early position with raises and reraises ahead of you, you NEED to throw hands like A J, 99, 88, and below in the BIN. don't trap yourself and get committed with those pocket 3's and get knocked out in the first 40 hands of a tourney, its not worth it.
But anyway, here is the video and I reccomend anyone watch it as it has some useful info, but don't forget to bring your own style to the table, only you can play like you!
Click on the video to be taken to the youtube page for these videos and you will find the rest of the series in the right hand column. On Itunes it is in 2 parts, but here I think it is split into 6/7 pieces.

My pokertest score
Anyone who feels that they want to can post their pokertest score on here.
I have some holes in my odds game apaprently that I need to work on, and I am pretty happy with the rest, my odds play was weak under 50% but the rest all over 80, so I need to hit the books and restudy my odds as I thought I was doing a bit better there, I think that I know what my problem was though in the test.
anyway here is my test score, not for bragging rights but for us to discuss and see what we can learn from it.

Your Overall Rating
Your overall score is a good indication of how well-rounded your game is likely to be, based on your poker skills. Of course, how well you do will also depend on the skills of those you're up against and your overall experience in various situations. Your overall score is calculated from the combination of your individual skills scores (details below).
Overall Score: 84.6 %
I will post a link to the HTML table showing my gaping hole in the odds play chart shortly, once I get it sorted to post!

Improving your game!
Here is a little link to nice pokertester, this guy also has a couple of sit and go podcasts on itunes that are worth watching.
My only issue with his style is that he could be a little more agressive in the middle stages of the game as I found him quite passive until headsup.. which is just his style I suppose.
I prefer to use the bubble to scare people off hands and steal more, but then thats just how I play, I like to turn up the agression around the bubble of any tourney, MTT or S&G.
Its worth registeren and taking the test just to see how you are doing and compare yourself, but if you don't score to great remember many hands are relative and a test can only present certain situations not realted to you playing style. But it is handy to assess how you would habdle certain situations.
