In this type of poker tournament the place you have in the table is very important and will influence your poker strategy. If you are in the early position, which means that you have to be the first in playing, you should avoid taking part in any hand when you do not have good cards, however if you are in a late position, you don’t have to be so strict.
Moreover, you should also control your stack continuously, and if at any point you have lost two thirds of your initial stack you should be more conservative on your game and only play when you have a good hand.
Lastly, your game strategy will change as there are fewer players on the table. Therefore it is not surprising to come across with players that started playing in a conservative way and become much more aggressive at the end with the objective of finishing among the first three positions and win a percentage of the prize pool.
And now, why not to practice everything you have learnt taking part in some tournament at the best online poker rooms?

WHAT A SIT & GO TOURNAMENT IS?
Poker is a cards game who can be played in many different modalities. In the same way there are also many different types of tournaments, which differ not only in the modality played but also in the own tournament structure.
One of the tournament modalities more commonly played, especially at online poker rooms are the sit & go. The biggest advantage of this type is that they take place continuously and at many different buyin prices, which make them very convenient. As soon as you register at your favourite poker room, you only have to pay the buyin price in order to get the chips. After that you only have to wait until the next available table and.... ready to play!
As a general rule, the maximum number of players that can take part is ten, and the majority of hands last up to half an hour or one hour, as the game rhythm is really fast. Normally, the three players that finish in the firsts positions will get a share of the prize poll, and therefore if you are good you will be able to increase your bankroll in no time!
