Sit N Go Tournament Strategy

Play your position and get a feel for the table. Use these considerations when deciding how much to raise the pot.

If everyone is folding when you get a big hand, you need to mix up your game. By that I mean show a bluff once in awhile… that way you confuse your opponents.

When you get to the “bubble” with four players left, try to make your move BEFORE getting short-stacked.

Don’t get “desperate”. Instead, steal some pots! Especially since everyone is folding to you.

Those “stolen” pots will build momentum and carry you into the money finishes…

Pay attention to the player stack amounts. If there is a player who is short stacked, expect 2 things. First they will go all-in when they have an A anything or 2 high cards. Second there will be good chance they will be taken out shortly. So play accordingly. Don’t take chances against the big stack while there is a short stack soon to be blinded out.

Big Sit N Go strategy

The $5 and $50 Sit n go’s are much different. Be careful not to blow your bankroll when you move up to the higher stakes. I see it happen all the time.

If you’re going to play in the $50 Sit and Go’s make sure your game is SHARP… I’d recommend just WATCHING a few before you dive in.

With that being said, I know a lot of guys who find the higher stakes games to be EASIER than the lower stakes ones… because the players are more predictable.
