SNG Wizard Review
SNG Wizard 2 is a poker tool that will be useful for poker players at the late SNG tournament stages. During these stages, players have no time to sit and wait for the nuts, and instead of it, they should extend their ranges.
Have you ever heard about such a concept as "Push according to Nash"? This app will help you to find out when it is profitable to go all-in with a short stack, and when it is profitable to fold the cards or just call the opponent’s bet. In addition to the range, many other factors are taken into account.
If you are a novice player or just want to try your hand at Sit&Go's, then SNG Wizard will quickly turn you into a winning player at low limits. If you are a more skilled player, then the program will help you find and eliminate expensive mistakes that you may not even notice.
To calculate pot odds and hand equity in regular tournaments, use the poker odds calculator that works online as well.

SNG Wizard Calculation Algorithm
SNG Wizard Calculation Algorithm SNG Wizard uses several models for decision-making: Independent Chip Model (ICM) and Future Game Simulation (FGS). The first one determines a player’s chance of winning based on the player’s stack ratio to the overall remaining players’ stack. The second model is based on the first one but a lot of other important factors are taken into account here:
- Statistics on your opponents.
- Your hand, board.
- Analysis of all hands you've played in the tournament.
- Your and your opponent's stack size; ratio of the stack to the blinds.
- Prize pool distribution.
- Players' positions at the table.
- Remaining players’ quantity.
- Your opponents’ perceived hands ranges.
- Other important factors.
The SNG Wizard downloads automatically Hands History from the poker clients or Holdem Manager 3 and analyzes all necessary information according to ICM (see the “Poker terms dictionary”). The program displays information in the form of tables and diagrams. The calculation is carried out in the split second.
With regular use of the program, your decision-making time will be much reduced. You will be able to play more tournaments simultaneously.

How to Use the Program
How to Use the ProgramWe prepared for you a short SNG Wizard tutorial to ease the process of work with it.
Open the "Tournaments" tab to see the downloaded tournaments you have played.
When you select any tournament, the Game View window will open with all hands played according to the ICM (push/fold) strategy. The program displays your decisions and shows whether you made correct actions or not. If the hand is controversial, you will see a yellow warning sign opposite it.
Click on the hand and a new window will open in from of you (Current Hand tab):
The equity from push/fold will be displayed as Suggested Action (shown in the picture above). It tells what particular action will be profitable in a specific situation. The range of hands that you can use to shove is indicated under the Suggested Action.
You have the possibility to change the hand ranges for every opponent:
Also, it's possible to set the playing style for each of your opponents:
In addition, you will be able to change your opponent's stack in order to see how the push/fold equity will change.

Additional Information on the App
Additional Information on the AppThis is the only poker tool that includes possible overcalls during the calculations (other similar programs take into account only variants when your push is called by one opponent).
SNG Wizard 2 can be used in the MTT tournaments. In this case, you should create the template with a prize pool payouts structure and set the tournament’s conditions. The instruction is in the program help. Furthermore, you should tick the box in front of “Chip E.V.” to the final table, and at the final table stage, you should turn on ICM.
Also SNG Wizard 2 has a new equity model developed by Ben Roberts. It can be used as an alternative to usual ICM calculations.

If an Eligible Player makes an Eligible Deposit (as defined above) during the Promotional Period, we shall credit them with a pending bonus equal to 100% of their Eligible Deposit up to a maximum of $600 USD (“the Deposit Bonus”); plus up to $30 USD in tickets. The Deposit Bonus shall be credited to the Eligible Player’s account automatically on a successful Eligible Deposit.
Bonus type: ‘release restricted’: the Deposit Bonus funds are pending and shall be visible in the account section, but shall not be available to play with until the loyalty point requirements (as set out below) are met and the bonus funds are released. The pending Deposit Bonus shall be released to a player in increments of 10% of the Deposit Bonus amount as a player accumulates 10% of the Total Loyalty Points (as defined below). The tickets bonus will be credited up to 6 days as part of the up to $30 USD.
100% up to $600 USD Terms and Conditions
To release the full Deposit Bonus amount the player must accumulate 4x the Deposit Bonus amount in loyalty points (“Total Loyalty Points”). The Total Loyalty Points must be accumulated within 90 days from the date of the Eligible Deposit (the “Time Limit”). Each time the player accumulates 10% of the Total Loyalty Points required, they will receive a 10% increment of the Deposit Bonus.

Player A makes an Eligible Deposit of $20 USD and receives a pending Deposit Bonus of $20 USD. To release the full Deposit Bonus amount ($20 USD), Player A is required to accumulate 4 x $20 USD in loyalty points = 80 (Total Loyalty Points) within 90 days from the date of the Eligible Deposit. As Player A accumulates 10% of the Total Loyalty Points requirement (i.e. 8 loyalty points), 10% of the Deposit Bonus ($2 USD) is released
A player accumulates 1 point for every $1 USD (or currency equivalent) rake on poker. Loyalty points may only be accumulated on poker. The player shall lose any increments of the Deposit Bonus that are not released within the Time Limit.
