Sit'n'Go Tournaments

More and more players love to play Sit'n'Go Tournaments at online poker. It may be because the fact that you can win quite some cash in almost no time. Also because a Sit'n'Go Tournament has no fixed starting time. It starts as soon as enough players registered.

At the lower limits there are a load of unexpierienced players who just want to get fast action. They often can be beaten easily. This can help to build a nice bankroll when playing enough lower limit Sit'n'Go tournaments. So set up your poker face and give it a try!

 

 Postions

 

In every poker play the players position is very important. Many unexpierienced players in the online poker world just don't think about their position because they think its too complicated. But it isn't. There are only 3 different kinds of positions; the early position (first three seats left to the big blind), the middle position (the next three seats) and the late position (the last seats).

It's always good to be in late position. A player in late position can react according to the moves of the players before him. A player in early position just has to guess what the players after him will do.

So in general there should be played few hands in early, a bit more in middle and the most hands in late position.

 

 Early Limits (Level 1 and 2)

 

Many players lose their whole stack on early limits because they risk too much. It's only level 1 and 2 so a player should play streight only the best cards like AA, KK, QQ and AK in early or middle position. A player in late position can try to get the pot with weak hands too, but he should stay focused and don't risk too much. Bluffing on this stage of the tournament is a very bad idea.

 

 Middle Limits (Level 3 and 4)

 

In general the same playing style as in the early limits. Maybe a little bit loser. On this stage players will try to steal blinds with weak cards. Which is basically a very good idea, but be aware of the opponents and don't risk too much. However, in this stage every player should can classify his opponents so it really gets interesting here. Best way is to stick to the position and only play premium hands in early and middle position.

 

 Final Limits (Level 5, 6 and 7)

 

Final limits are very tricky. Is a player on short stacks he have to call now and then with weaker cards in order to survive, otherwise there is a very big chance he loses al his chips to the forced small and big blind. Players with a high stake should try to steal some lower pots from the lower staked players. They want to survive so they will barely call higher amounts if they don't have premium hands.

The final are two players heads up. Players with high stakes should try to steal smaller blinds and also call with some weaker cards.

Players on low stack have to play agressive to get chips from his opponent.
