Sit and go tables are a wonderful place to hone your game and make a little money. You can learn many, many things at the sit and go. These tournaments are usually low-cost, fun, and convenient.
There are always sit and go’s going on in the major online poker rooms. You can play them quickly (usually less than an hour), and there’s no scheduling involved as in multi-table tournaments.
The major difference in a sit and go versus a multi-table tournament is that there is no one waiting to take a busted player’s place. When a player goes broke in a sit and go, they’re out.
This is advantageous because as the table gets smaller as players are eliminated, your stack is still good. In a multi-table, you may have a good stack on your own table, but when moved to another one or as players are added to your table, your stack may not compare to the others.
That’s the reason your stack size should always play a major role in you hand selection. You should probably start out with pretty conservative starting hand requirements. The blinds dictate that you should play fairly tight early.
The blinds are small and you are nine-handed, so they don't come around as often. This also helps you establish a tight image, which you hope will pay off later when the blinds are high and you might really need a timely ante steal.
As the players dwindle, you will want to loosen up your play more and do some gambling. The payout structure dictates this move. The payouts reward tight play early and loose play later on. Most sit and go’s pay the top 3 places. You should play for third place and then loosen up to try for the win.
