No Limit Texas Holdem has become one of the most popular types of poker played. No Limit Holdem Poker Tournaments have become especially popular since you can enter a tournament for as little as a $1 up to $1000’s of dollars depending on your pocket book. Since No Limit Holdem has been televised it has grown in popularity.

One of the nuances of this type of pokers new found popularity is the emergence of Sit and Go Poker Tournaments. These tournaments are mini versions of their bigger counterparts. The Entry field is usually limited to one table. Their are also bigger Sit n Go tournaments that consist of 5 or 6 tables or more. One other differentiation of these types of tournaments is that they form when enough players sign up, for example if you have a 10 man Sit and Go it will start as soon as 10 players pay the entry fee.

The Structure of Sit and Go poker games is much like regular tournaments. Blinds go up anywhere from every 6 to 15 minutes and the starting stacks are usually somewhere in between 1500 to 3500 in chips. You will find Sit and Go poker tournaments at most online poker rooms as well as some brick and mortar casino poker rooms. Usually the top 3 players are paid out in a 10 man sit and go. Depending on the Sit and Go structure the payout varies. It is best to look at the tournament lobby and find out what the set up is.

Below are some tips for playing Sit n Go Poker Tournaments:

First of all try and find a game that has a decent chip stack and slow moving blinds. Generally a decent structure looks like 1500 in chips and 8 minute blinds. the more minutes and the more chips the more the game will favor skill versus luck. This is mainly because if you are not in a hurry to play you can play a tight aggressive strategy which is ideal for most tournaments.

I would try a medium buy in of 10 dollars up to twenty dollars to start with depending on what you can afford. If the buy in is really low expect the game to be super wild. I therefore favor games at least 10 and up to start with. Ideally you will win enough to get a bank roll big enough to move up to higher stakes games.

The ideal strategy for these games is to play a tight aggressive game until the blinds get high enough to warrant a change in strategy. Usually if you will fold all your marginal hands in the beginning and be patient by the time you reach the second or third blinds level several players will have been knocked out. So hand selection is important.

Early in the tournament play hands like:

AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AK, AQ, 1010, and AJ aggressively raise for value and play the hand as you usually would. If you meet much resistance with some of the lower pairs or you don’t catch a pair fold and don’t invest to much. Limp in with any pocket pair 99 to maybe 55 or 66 and hope to spike a set if you don’t get out.

If someone raises preflop fold. The main idea here is to not get involved in hands that will break you early on since only the last 3 players remaining get paid you want to let the other guys knock themselves out. Every time someone gets knocked out you get closer to the money. some of these games you will see get crazy early on. Just stay out of the way and let the crazies kill themselves off.

Once you get down to about 5 players and the blinds get high you want to loosen up some of your hand selection and try and run some positional raises. If you have been playing tight then you should have a tight enough table image now to get away with some steals.

Don’t over do it but raise in late pos with hands like A8 all the way to A3 if no one has entered the pot before you. If you have been playing tight the other players should have picked up on this and give you some respect. When you get down to 4, players will really start to tighten up because they are so close to a money finish.

Once you see that happening take advantage and try to make some steal bets. Down get overly involved if you meet too much resistance get out of there unless you have a hand that you can win with. This style of play is usually the reverse of what your weaker opponents will do. Usually they will play a lot of hands early and deplete a certain amount of their chips early on and try to get lucky.

Then they will tighten up when the blinds get higher.

Since ideally the best way to play is the opposite of what everyone else is doing this poker tournament strategy advocates playing tight early and then loosening up later in the game to try and build a chip stack that will carry you in to the money.

Once you get down to 3 and you have hit the money. You can either get real aggressive and try for first place or sit tight and let the other guys take each other out and go for a sure second. This depends on your stack. If you get to 4 to 5 times the blinds and you are third make a move.

If you can steal some blinds or win a showdown you should be guaranteed second. Their is a piece of poker tournament software that I used called sit and go shark which was really a great tool in finding a working strategy for this type of game. It is still available but unfortunately does not work in many poker room’s where U.S. players can currently play for money.

I hope this helps to give an idea of how to play no limit holdem sit and go poker tournaments. Their is more to it then can be stuffed in to just one article, however just making these few adjustments should help get you in the money more often in these types of poker tournaments. Its really a general strategy advocated for tournaments by many of today’s successful poker pro’s.

Winning Texas Holdem Poker Strategy

In any type of game, strategy is an important part of winning. Adapting to the differences in each game, understanding the importance of position and realizing that knowledge is essential are three main parts of Texas Holdem strategy. There are many different approaches to strategy, but if a player uses these three key parts, then they should discover they have a winning strategic approach.

In any type of game, strategy is an important part of winning. Adapting to the differences in each game, understanding the importance of position and realizing that knowledge is essential are three main parts of Texas Holdem strategy.

There are many different approaches to strategy, but if a player uses these three key parts, then they should discover they have a winning strategic approach.

Adapting to the differences in the game is an important part of strategy. Not every approach works in every situation. A player that finds, during the course of the game, that another player is picking up on their strategy may need to change their style a little to throw the other player off.

Being able to make quick decisions and being flexible with game play is also part of adapting. Adapting is relevant in every game, every time Texas Holdem is played. A player who does not adapt will find keeping up a winning strategy is difficult.

Understanding the importance of position is most relevant to the game of Texas Holdem than any other poker game. Texas Holdem is based on the fact that the position a player is in has great influence over that player’s game. Position is based on literally where a player sets during the game. The ideal position is to have a player on the right side that bets often and high. On the left side a player wants someone who does not win often.

This ideal position sets the player up to win big more often. It is also a good position to be the last player to act. This allows the player an advantage of seeing the other players’ actions and the ability to get basic information about their hands. Position can often times mean the difference between a bad game and a good game.

The biggest advantage to a winning strategy is information.

A player who keeps themselves informed throughout the game will have the best odds of winning.  A strategy that includes observation and the gathering of information sets a player up to be able to determine other players’ actions and bet accordingly. Texas Holdem is all about information and how a player uses it. A player should aim to get as much information as possible while giving little information to other players.

Strategies differ from player to player and from game to game. The idea behind a winning strategy is to be able to make it work in any game. This means being able to adapt it to the situation of the game, having a good position and gathering information.

A strategy may change or be altered throughout a game of Texas Holdem. The basic structure of a winning strategy, though, is made up of the three key parts regardless of its implementation.

Your Transformation From Novice to Expert Texas Hold ‘em Poker Player

Your transformation from novice to expert Texas Hold ‘em Poker player begins by making sound judgments using all the information that you have at your disposal.  The acquiring of information begins even before your first two hole cards are even dealt to you.
Your transformation from novice to expert Texas Hold ‘em Poker player begins by making sound judgments using all the information that you have at your disposal.  The acquiring of information begins even before your first two hole cards are even dealt to you.
Before the first cards are even dealt you should begin by considering your position at the table.  The table should be divided up as follows:
Early Position 2-3 Players to left of the blinds
Middle Position Players 4 through 7
Late Position 8-10
Small and Big Blind
Early Position – When you are seated in early position you are making you’re betting decisions before getting a chance to see what the other players are going to do.  You are making you’re decisions without information on what hands your opponents may have.  You will not be acting from a position of strength. For this reason, if you do not have one of the better starting hands, you should consider folding.
Middle Position – This position will allow you to play more hands than if you were seated in the early position since you will get to see what the other players in front of you are going to do.  There are also not as many players who will act behind you so you are not as susceptible to a raise as you would be in an early position.
For this reason, you can play the best starting hands aggressively.  Raising and re-raising opponents would be a sound strategy.  In middle position you can use a raise to help you determine the strength of your opponents’ hands – Do they fold, call or re-raise?  How they react to your raise can tell you a lot about what they may be holding.

Late Position – This is the most advantageous position at the table.

You get to see what most of the other players in front of you are going to do.  You get to act with the most information available to you.  Being seated in late position allows you to play a wider selection of hands.  Being “on the button” – the dealer – is the best position.
This is because you will act last.  You will have the advantage of seeing what all the others in front of you have done. Here again, raising and re-raising opponents would be a sound strategy.  Being seated in late positions allows you to play a little looser.
Small and Big Blinds – While these do act last before the flop, you are acting last in every round after the flop.   This makes it one of the more difficult positions on the table.
As a general rule of thumb, you should expect to play a tight game when you are seated in one of the early positions and looser when in late position.
You will put yourself on the winning path in limit hold ‘em by playing good hands and showing sound judgment on when to be aggressive.
• There are some very good reasons to be aggressive and raise the pot, especially before the flop, such as:
• You have one of the best starting hands and by raising, you get more money into the pot.
• You want to force opponents with weaker hands out of the game.  There is no sense in letting someone hang around and give them the chance to hit the flop.
Others in front of you have folded.  The likelihood that your hand is the best increases as others fold.

Of course there are also some good reasons to not raise:

• Someone else has raised.
• You don’t want to narrow the field.  An example of this is when you are drawing for a flush or straight.  You are risking less up front for a hand that you may or may not make.  By keeping more players in the pot, you have the potential to win a larger pot if you do hit your hand.
• You’re raises don’t work.
This happens in very low limit games and/or games with poor players.  They all react to raises by raising and re-raising.  The large pots tempt players to hang around with lower ranked hands and increase the possibility that one of them may hit a card on the turn or river that will beat your hand.
By studying and knowing your opponents you’ll know how they play hands and you’ll know when your raises will or will not work.
