Sit N Go poker is one type of online poker tournament that has gained great popularity over the last year. You will see this type of tournament at almost every poker playing site as Sit N GO, SNG, Sng or SitNGo.

This type of tournament is, almost always a single table tournament (STT) that has no given starting time. It begins when the table has enough people signed up to play (usually 9 or 10).

Sit N Go’s are usually Texas Hold’em poker tournaments, but can be a variety of poker games.

The cost to play these tournaments can be as low as $1.00 and range up to hundreds of dollars. It is easy to see why it has gained popularity since you can entertain yourself for as little as $1.00 for an hour or more (that is, if you are still in the game until the end).

Sit N Go Tournaments are NOT cash games where you buy an amount of chips and play, they are true tournaments where each player buys in (say for a dollar) and is given a stack of chips (usually worth 1,000 to 1,500). All players start with the same amount of chips and play until they no longer have chips, or win the game with all of the chips from the table. The game usually pays out the top three players (“last three standing”). The pay out is usually 50% to the winner, 30% to second place and 20% to third. There are poker sites to play these tournaments where they pay out more than 3 places, but the payout for each is obviously less.

There are strategies to winning or placing “in the money” in Sit N Go’s that you can follow to help you become a consistent winner.
