In The Money Play

Money, money, money, monnnnnnnnney...... money! Sorry, I was just running the song from "The Apprentice" through my head. It is a great song for sit 'n go poker, especially when you make it to the money!

Well, this post is the let you know I added "Lesson 8: In The Money Play" to the SitNGoTraining.com site. You can access it from the Course Outline. Check it out when you get a chance. Here's a summary of the information covered:

In The Money Play

• The sit 'n go prize pool and how it should affect your play.
• Adjustments from the pre-flop sit 'n go strategy.
• Playing from the small stack.
• Medium stack play.
• And the best scenario, playing as the big stack!

To summarize the information in the lessons, there are a number of changes you should make to the sit 'n go strategy based on the playing characteristics of your opponents and the situation you are in. I will cover them in detail in the advanced lessons. But for now, when you make it to the money in a sit 'n go, your goal should be to WIN, not to survive long enough to make it to the next pay level. So play aggressively, even it that means you get knocked out of the sit 'n go in 3rd place.

Covered in detail in the lessons but summarized here: For the small stack, first in vigorish is your main weapon. Use it. As the middle stack, put pressure on the small stack and play straight-forward poker against the big stack. As the big stack, pressure, pressure, pressure is the name of the game.

Good luck at the tables!
