This is a discussion on sit n go within the online poker forums, in the Tournament Poker section; i like sit n go but it can be hard to find a site that has alot.888 and party poker have em but. Sit and go A poker tournament with no scheduled starting time that starts whenever the necessary players have put up their money. Single-table sit-and-gos, with nine or ten players, are the norm, but multi-table games are common as well. Also called sit 'n gos slow play See main article: slow play slow roll.
One of the most popular forms of online poker is the single table tournament, also known as a sit-n-go or SNG for short. As such, there are many great online poker software tools that have been developed around learning to play SNGs and assisting you while do you play. These SNG software tools run the gamut from tracking opponents to offering real time advice and even simulation tools. Sit-n-go tournaments are a great way to grind out a consistent profit by playing a game that has been completely solved mathematically.
The most significant invention to impact SNGs was the conception of the 'Independent Chip Model' or ICM for short. ICM presents a mathematic approach to figuring out the statistically correct points in time to go all in with any two cards based on the value of each chip and your equity. This of course is a complicated process, but luckily for you people have developed software solutions to do all of the calculations for you. Some of the currently available ICM calculators include Spade ICM, Chillin411 ICM calculator, and SNG End Game Tools (SNGEGT). Many of these options are free, including SNGEGT.
If you do not frequently play SNGs on a particular site, you will most likely be at a disadvantage against the regular players on that site. They will already have experience with the other players and know their strengths and weaknesses. You can help offset this advantage by using a variety of automated player tracking tools that log the results of every SNG tournament that is played. By using these tools you can identify what players are winning players and which are losing players. The original and most famous of these tools is SharkScope. Unfortunately some sites are banning the use of SharkScope and their heads-up-display product, SharkScope HUD. An excellent alternative which is actually superior in some areas is the Tournament Shark software offered by PokerProLabs.
SNG training software allows you to practice the critical situations that arise during single table tournaments over and over again so that when you are actually playing and encounter such a situation your action will be the correct one. One such piece of SNG training software is the Prego Poker Bubble Trainer. The most critical part of any SNG is the bubble, and Prego Poker's tool allows you to practice playing on the bubble over and over. Another excellent option to consider is SitNGo Wizard. SNG Wizard offers automatic analysis of SNGs in real time to help you in your decision making, using the ICM calculator that is built in.

For example, try to play a Sit n' Go the 'Harrington Way' and expect to be blinded out soon before you have any chance of making it into the money. Harrington has done a good job talking about Big tournaments and Sklansky, Brunson etc have also done great job in their fields.

BenCB recently interviewed the ultimate end boss of sit n go’s SLayer Fan aka Joshua Hoesel who has been crushing the highest stakes games all over the internet for years. He has recently come up with a new course for the training site, which we look forward to coming out, check ou this inciteful podcast here:
Why Should You Play SnGs?
To make the most money! With PartyPoker now you can make 100% RakeBack, that means for every buy-in SlayerFan plays he is keeping the rake, no matter of the result and for hyper turbos that have a fairly high rake this is important.
To get this you have to be in diamond club elite, where the cashback is broken down into top-ups, Rakeback and leaderboards.
SnG’s are looking great on Party Poker, with loads of players from Pokerstars converting to Party due to the Pokerstars rewards not being as good.
Are Sit n Go’s Profitable?
The short answer from Slayer is yes! He has a stream where he talks to players that have risen the ranks this year on partypoker from just $5 buy-ins all the way up to $100 buy-ins with some players winning 1,000 buy-ins in a month!
Just to put that into context if that player was playing $30 games, that’s $30,000 profit, pre-Rakeback!
Soft Spots
Around the holiday period and weekends are great times to play, because all the regulars that are tough and winning the most in Sit n Gos are usually taking these times away from Poker.
So look to fire up some games here and grab that extra cash!
Slayer talks a lot about how he would just grind hyper-turbo satellites to tournaments and sometimes these are some of the softest games to get in. The reason for this is because the players are often just recreational that want a cheap way into a bigger tournament for their bankroll.
Slayer has made a living from finding these kinds of soft spots, so look to do the same yourself!
Other Pros Making the Switch
You know that Sit N Gos on Party must be worth looking in to when the likes of BBZ Poker have even switched their main grind to Hyper Turbos here.
Check out the latest content from Jordan as he takes some tough beats at the $100 and $200 buy-in levels and still comes out a winner:
Understand Variance
Coming from a player that once lost $100,000 playing sit n gos in one day on Pokerstars… his advice is to control the things that are within your control.
Sit N Go Dog Wheelchair
You can never control how lucky or unlucky you are, so try not to even think about that and just concentrate on the things that you can control, like getting good sleep, eating well and grinding out some study sessions.
Know What Spots to Study
Too many players are too concerned with strange spots or certain solver lines for complex pots. However, before that we need to get our games very clean in the most played spots.
Before you go worrying about deep stack poker, learn how to play your 10BBs perfectly. Then once you have that part of your game down, look at how to play Re-Jams and slightly deeper stack play. Learn Your re-steal spots well and so on… these are spots that are going to come up the most often and if you can learn to play these types of hands fundamentally sound, you will notice a huge uptick in your results.
Sit N Go Pokerstars
A good way to study is to save hands that you think might have been a mistake from your game, take these hands and study them after your session. We learn a lot from our mistakes, so look to apply this to the poker table too.
