You see it all the time on TV. Poker superstars, the world series of poker, the world poker tour, etc...star poker players are born. TV has turned nobody's into somebody's through the world series of poker especially. Take for instance Jamie Gold last year. He came out of know where to win the world series of poker. He did it through hard work, making the right calls, and a little bit of luck.

Basically the world series of poker, is a large sit n go tournament if you think about it. The only way to practice for sit and go's is to play many single table and multi-table tournaments daily. Sit n go's are definitely a confidence booster and can earn you quite a stable income at that if you master it. When you play sit and go's you have to go into the mindset of making first place each time. You can't rely on just making 2nd or 3rd place if you want to make a stable income playing. You have to gun after first each time and here is why:

1st place = 50% of the prize pool

2nd place = 30% of the prize pool

3rd place = 20% of the http://209.59.170.38/cara-login-pkv-games/ prize pool

Now as you can see 1st place pays almost 3 times as much as a third place victory. When playing sit n go's the best poker tip you can have at the poker table is to play tight until there is 4 or 5 people left and switch to playing aggressive. The reason being, with 4 poker players left, everyone will be just trying to hold on and make it to the money. There games will be altered and they will pretty much fold anything. This is seriously the most crucial point in a poker tournament and will separate you from the rest down the stretch to take first down. If you are sitting there with 4 players left at the poker table you need to try and steal blinds as much as possible and not reveal your poker hand.

Many players today will not throw one chip in the pot if they are on the "bubble". These players will never elevate to the next level because they truly do not understand the game and poker rules. You must play aggressive with 4 players left no if's, ands, or buts.

If you master sit n go's there is no doubt in my mind you can't handle a first place victory in the world poker tour or world series of poker. The best way to get there is by playing poker freerolls and other smaller buy-in tournaments leading to a seat in the world series of poker or world poker tour. There is absolutely no better feeling than winning a seat to one of these events for cheap. I bought into an 11 dollar multi-table tournament a few years ago and won a seat to the world series of poker. I needed money at the time, so I sold my ticket for $9000.00. Not a bad turn around, 11 dollars into 9k! Can't beat that.

Sit n Go poker is a name given to small field tournaments. Typically, the most popular sit n go will consist of less than 45 players; however some online poker sites have sit n go's up to 180 entrants. The greatest appeal of a sit n go poker tournament is that it usually lasts less than a few hours.

If you want to build your poker bankroll, ideally, playing in the games which gives you the greatest opportunity for a return on your investment is the way to go. A sit n go allows you this opportunity because of the limited field size and the payout schedule is usually well proportioned for the number of entrants.

Two of the best reasons to build your bankroll in a sit n go, is the attitudes of the players are quite competitive and the experience level of your opponents is quite limited. The limited knowledge and over aggressiveness of the players in these sit n go's will give you an advantage if you know how to make this work for you.

Winning a sit n go will depend largely on how well you play the cards you are dealt rather than how many times you get good cards. Since many of the players entering a sit n go is doing so with the intention of playing for a short period, they already have an anxious attitude toward the game. This 'anxiety' can work for you if you simply allow many of the players to 'beat each other up' in the early stages.

As you approach the middle and later stages, you can use more advanced poker strategy, such as check-raising, trapping and position plays to take down pots. These advanced strategies are normally more effective as you get closer to the money since the inexperienced player who has made it this far, typically will tighten up their game and fold to power plays.

In many of the smaller sit n go tournaments, the payout is usually the top three, four or five. In those cases, you want to carefully consider your starting hands when you get on the bubble. Even if you are the chip leader, you still want to avoid doubling up the short stack. Take care in calling the all-ins at this point and do not be the hero by trying to knockout every one that goes all in.

Once you are in the money, a good sit n go strategy is to look for an opportunity to move up the money ladder. Although aggression may build you a few chips to last out a few blind levels, you also want to keep an eye on your opponents chip stack. If a shorter stack has a chance of getting blinded out before you, you may want to let them blind out instead of trying to make a move and get busted before the shorty.

Sit N Go tournaments are a great way to build your bankroll, and by learning more about this special type of poker tournament you can easily add hundreds to your poker bankroll each week. Instead of just jumping into the next sit n go, take some time to discover the best poker strategy to use in a sit n go.
