The best part of sit n go strategy is when a game goes shorthanded. In this area of the sit n go strategy the good players are separated from the so,so players and it really adds to your bank role. A shorter handed table gives you the opportunity to steal blinds, destroy your opponents and bluff your players big time. You can in this same situation notice who was watching the other players in the beginning of the game and who were not. This will allow you an advantage when it comes to creating a larger stack than what you already have.
Once the table goes shorthanded you should be able to determine the type of players at the table. A good key hand to have available is the A-J, A-Q or the A-K. If you are not willing to raise with these hands you should not call on these either. When there are less players at the table, the chances of one of them hitting a big hand is still small. If you have an Ace hands in hand you should raise before the game flops, if a flop occurs, then immediately raise.
About seventy percent of the time these types of hands will miss the flop. Say you have a Q-A and miss, there is a chance one of the other players has a Q-J and missed too. A good sit n go strategy is to bet prior to the flop and after the flop. Poker is a game of chance, so the chances are a flush in one suit isn’t going to come around for quite some time. In the end, most players will fold.
Sit n go means you are willing to display your opponents weaknesses. This means you are willing to place high bets and re-raise people when you have high numbered cards. Cards such as Aces, Kings and Queens. Even if you have a high card flush or straight you still re-raise the bet. This gives you opportunity to steal blinds and reap the rewards in the pot. You want to work your table to the fullest potential, where the guys start saying ‘If he raises, I’m out!’.
Some people agree aggressive take over’s of the table are good, while others say it’s a weak way to prove you are strong in poker. Whether you play a table that is short handed or not, the sit n go strategy can work best for you with lots of practice.
