Online poker rooms such as PokerStars.net offer small tournaments known as sit and go tournaments which range in stakes and the amount of people who participate although the most common sit and go tournament is a nine player tournament. The nine player sit and go tournaments are so popular because the investment is cheap and you can win a nice amount of money by finishing in the top three, which means you have a 33% chance of winning money. It’s important that if you’re going to play sit and go tournaments that you’re consistent because you can’t afford to lose too many in a row.

Play Early

You might see some of your opponents not play much in the beginning for a tournament on PokerStar.net because they want to save there stack for a push at the end, but I find it’s better to play early. The blinds are low and it doesn’t cost much to see a flop most hands so it’s better to play early then to play once the blinds are expensive. You only need to play your premium hands and then hands where you can see a cheap flop because you never know what could come. The idea of playing early is that you can build up your stack while the blinds are low so that once there higher you can sit and watch while others fight for the top three.

Patience

Once it’s down to only five players there is only two more people who need to be eliminated before everyone left would make money so it gets tight. You can’t play too many hands when there are five players unless you have a premium hand or are just looking to steal the blinds. If you have a nice stack and are in first or second then I don’t suggest stealing blinds often because people will re-raise you and put you in a tough predicament.

Never Give Up

I’ve seen a lot of people lose a hand early in a sit and go tournament on pokerstar.com and maybe have 400-500 chips left in there stack which is fairly decent still although kind of low. Don’t automatically assume that there is a PokerStars Cheat working against you here. When this happens most of these people give up and will go all-in on there next marginal hand in hopes of doubling-up only to lose the tournament to a hand which has there own dominated. You can’t give up or go on tilt because you lose a hand in poker or else you’re in trouble. Never give up either because I’ve seen people catch up from 100 chips in sit and go tournaments and come back to win the entire thing.

Multi-Table

Once you get good at sit and go tournaments and can handle playing two of them at once you should give it a try and see how consistent you can play when playing two games at once. If you can remain as consistent as you we’re when playing one tournament at a time then you’ll obviously be making twice as much money so you should consider multi-tabling PokerStar.com sit and go tournaments once you feel comfortable.
