Does anyone have tips how to win at Sit & Go?
I know how against 3 players, you play with cards that you normally would not play as a K9, Q7, and other s letter also. the someone has tips
there is no advice to win them, but you will get a lot of good advice on how to Play them profitable.
Be Patient (Play tight) in the early stage where you have 30+bb. once you reach the mid/late stage with avg stack sizes of 30bb or less you Need to know how to play your ranges in Position and stuff like that.
play your good Hands aggressive and don't be afraid to bust.
My advice is not to play in such tournaments. This is a quick way to spend money. Pay attention to the MTT tournaments, this is a more realistic way to make a profit.
From my experience (played more than 1000 tournaments online), the SnGs are a better way to constantly increase your
bankroll. Sure, you won't win 1k in a 5$ buy-in, but you don't have to Play for 10 Hours and beat 5k entrants to win those 1.000$.
At the 45/90/180man SnGs you should reach the final table fairly often while in a MTT with 3000+ entrants, you will reach it like once in 300 tournaments.
Sure, if you have a Deep run you make more Profit than in a SnG, but Overall the SnGs are a more profitable Format if you won't rely on luck.
My strategy is tight is right for a 9 handed turbo and I win quite often. Just play solid hands in good positions, do not overplay mediocre hands like small pairs from EP. As well as try to lay off hands like 10 9 and J 10 unless there suited, even if they are just play them cautiously. There's no huge rush to play many hands in a 9 handed turbo, just play they ones you choose to play form good position and you will be fine. Watch out for the KJs, QJs and J10s etc. as they are not that strong and are usually troublesome hands that tend to lose you chips if you overvalue them, and in larger SNGs chips are everything. Once you acquire the chips play very solid, no limping, even if its just a min. raise UTG, sometimes that is all you need to do. Basically play by the rules in a large tourney feild, like tights is right and position is power and you should be fine. Do not overvalue mediocre holdings as it will only cause you to lose chips and chips in SNGs are soo value-able.
I played a lot of those Turbo SnGs on
pokerstars and tight is not Right in my opinion. Blinds increase really fast and if you don't want to blind out, you have to play aggressive to get Chips from those 'tight is right' Players
I think it is horrible advice, SNGs are the best way for a player with little to no tourney experience to gain a decent amount of experience (if you can't win a SNG what makes you think you can win a MTT?). The rules for SNGs are the same as any MTT it is just that they are easier to win at the end of the day. I haven't taken down a MTT ( 1st place in years) i've gotten a lot of money place finishes but they don't quite add up to as many tourneys that you need to be playing to win decent money. SNGs are the best value and the best way to learn, as well gives you a chance to win some pretty good money. So no, I hate your advice for a person that has little tourney experience.
totally agree with you.
you won't win the big Money in the SnGs, but you will get a good ROI if you are a decent Player. You can get to the final table with skill, while in large MTTs you will Need a lot of luck aswell to reach it.
