There is an interesting dynamic in Sit and go Tournaments that occurs to me approximately one out every five times I location in the money. The circumstance happens when I am the chip chief and can take any of the other three remaining players out of the tournament in any given hand. In fact, I have them all covered and there is fairly maybe a small stack facing eradication on the bubble with no money. When this occurs, there is certainly a system I engage that confirms me as the odds on preferred to succeed first place.

Let me offer you a scenario for instance. I’m at a nine seated, $10 plus one dollar sit down and go on Full Tilt Poker – my favored new site. All players began with 1,500 chips and there are 4 players left. I happen to be the chip leader with six thousand eight hundred and fifty whilst a quick stack who has just 525 chips is to my immediate left. Another 2 players are each around 3100 in chips and have tightened up for an expected in-the-money finish. The blinds are 100/200 and I’m the smaller blind while the quick stack awaits my next move as another 2 gamblers folded and I am holding A9s.

Certainly I am the favourite here, and under normal conditions would put the quick stack to an all in decision. Instead – I fold and hand over my tiny blind to the shorter stack who now sits at a somewhat relieved 625 chips. Why would I do that, you might ask? Having one other two tight players, set on making the money is an advantage to a major stack in this predicament, because having that 4th player nonetheless alive means that I can even now threaten them with bubble play. Meaning, I can take more blinds, out of place when the two tight gamblers are the little blind and major blind.

With a excellent chip lead like this one, and many tight gamblers, I need to extract as several blinds as I can because I want my superior place even stronger as the session changes into heads up play. This is in thinking with the 1st or 3rd philosophy, in which I know I am going to make the cash, but I wish to be aggressive quick handed most of the time, so that I acquire extra than my fair share of initially place payoffs. Let us say in the above situation that one of the other gamblers gathers all the chips as opposed to me. We obtain heads up and guess what? We are virtually even in chip count. Then it may well be anybody’s game. Yes, I generally do nonetheless have an benefit, except I really want the kind of advantage in which I am also a four to 1 or even 5 to one chip chief! This will virtually get rid of the possibility of my opponent winning the tournament by drawing out. And we all know how usually that happens heads up. I have a video of this exact strategy in my free of charge sit and go poker video slot machines series.

Keep this chance in mind as you receive into a cash position. Do not start playing like that you are just happy to make the money, bet on like you are joyful to take the money!
