Sit N Go poker tournaments have become very popular and extremely well-liked recently. Applying the right understanding can increase your chances of winning in sit n go tournaments.
Sit and Go tournaments are a great way to earn a steady return and to keep your funds from the swings of cash games. One of the main reasons why people enjoy sit & gos is there is a great skillfulness in the strategy of playing. Sure you could be a great cash game player and win consistently but never seem to make the money in a sit & go.
Another reason why people like playing sit and gos is that it is tough to go on tilt, usually if you end up about to tilt you are blown out already by a ghastly beat so you have that important 5-10 minutes to calm down and collect your thoughts. In a cash game after taking a harsh beat you are thrown into a hand within seconds and do not have time to recoup and calm down.
With any card game, always get a feel for the other players at the table. Watch the cards the other players play, as well as their facial expressions and playing quirks. Weak players will give away chips in the face of raises. Aggressive players will force you to make tough judgments, so try sticking to first-rate starting hands against them, at least until you feel comfortable with their tale tell signs.
If everyone is folding when you get a good hand, you will need to confuse them by mixing up your game. Modify your style and just call the bet in, or show a bluff once in a while to confuse your opponents. The fewer telltale signs you show, the better your chances of winning the tournament.
When you get in the bubble, one position from the money, or four players left, try to make your move before getting short-stacked. Players stiffen up on the bubble, so be aggressive and steal some of the blinds. If you pay close attention to the player stacks totals, and learn when to take chances, the better off you will be.
Head to head poker is a game of aggression. Your starting cards do not have to be that strong. Trapping your opponent is possible. Do not commit your full stack unless you believe that you have the best hand.
Poker is the game of observations, always be aware of what is going on around you.
