Make Money at Sit-N-Go Tables

May 12, 2009 | by Carolina Gambler | posted in Poker Strategy

The other night at one of the home games I had a feller that was asking me a lot of questions about online poker. He wanted to know what games I think are the easiest to earn money at. My answer to that is very simple, in my opinion the sit-n-go, which are also known as single table tourneys are by far the easiest way to build up a bankroll.

For the player that is new to online poker I recommend starting off with a site that has a good sign up bonus to work with as they are playing the sit-n-goes (SNG). For a while I made most all my money playing them at PDC Poker ( use coupon code “UPTO600″ to earn a 100% bonus on deposits up to $600. You also receive 14 days entry to the daily $500 freeroll ) . I would sit down and play for a few hours each evening and slowly build up my bankroll at the site. Usually I would play till I would not finish in the money (normally about the 5th or 6th game) and then quit for the afternoon. The whole time while playing I would not only earn money from the game, but would be making money with the 100% matching bonus too.

There are many factors to consider when playing a sit-n-go, but some of my advice includes doing the following;

1. My first bit of advice is to get experience at the lower limit SNG games before you even think of moving up to higher limits.

2. Play tight and aggressive in the early stage of the game. In sit-n-goes most of the money is made in the late stages of the game. I have found that you can actually coast your way to the final 3 by playing hardly any hands at all, and just let the other players bust each other out.

3. During the early stages of the tourney, watch and learn your opponents’ betting patterns. This goes for multi table tournaments (mtt’s) as well !

4. In the middle and late stages of the game change up your game a bit. Remember that the value of starting hands like A-10 offsuit and K-10 offsuit along with others are fairly weak during the early stages of the game, but they rapidly increase value as there are fewer people in the game. Adjust your play accordingly.

5. After about 4 people have been eliminated you should start to play more hands and become more aggressive, but play smart. Knowing when to fold’em greatly increases your odds of making the money !

6. Your goal should always be to make the final three. After that, you can become super aggressive with any good hands that you may have.

So good luck at the felt and remember, always play within your bankroll.
