Are Sit and Goes for You?
There is a strong trend in the online poker world to earn your admission to a high stakes poker tournament through satellite play. Most of these tournaments are held online, making them easy to access from anywhere in the world the fad for satellite entry has led to the development of a unique form of poker tournament called the sit-and-go.
Sit and go tournaments are not for everyone because there are notoriously small and quick. A standard sit and go tournament (or SnG for short) consists of a single table. The goal of a SnG is to end up in the top three places according to the number of chips you have at the end. The top three spots are paid out according to an established prize rubric just like in a normal poker online tournament.
While SnGs offer a speedy track to the pot, they are not ideal for those people who prefer a more leisurely game. You don’t get a chance to enjoy the experience of sitting at a table with your friends when you are involved in a SnG. It’s just quick and dirty poker with a single goal in mind. If you can’t play a focused game, then SnGs are not for you.
