There exists an interesting powerful in Sit and go Tournaments that happens to me approximately one out every 5 times I location in the money. The circumstance occurs when I am the chip chief and can take any of the other three remaining players out of the tournament in any given hand. In fact, I have them all covered and there is rather maybe a short stack facing eradication on the bubble with no cash. When this happens, there exists a system I engage that confirms me as the odds on favorite to succeed first place.

Let me offer you a scenario for example. I am at a 9 seated, $10 plus 1 dollar sit down and go on Full Tilt Poker – my favored new site. All players began with 1,500 chips and there are four players left. I occur to be the chip leader with 6,850 while a quick stack who has just 525 chips would be to my immediate left. One other 2 gamblers are each around three thousand one hundred in chips and have tightened up for an expected in-the-money finish. The blinds are 100/200 and I am the smaller blind though the quick stack awaits my next move as the opposite two players folded and I’m holding A9s.

Certainly I am the favourite here, and under normal circumstances would put the short stack to an all in decision. Instead – I fold and hand over my small blind to the short stack who now sits at a fairly relieved six hundred and twenty five chips. Why would I do that, you may perhaps ask? Having one other 2 tight gamblers, set on making the cash is an advantage to a massive stack in this predicament, because having that fourth gambler still alive means that I can even now threaten them with bubble play. Meaning, I can take more blinds, out of place when the two tight players are the modest blind and massive blind.

With a very good chip lead like this one, and many tight gamblers, I desire to extract as numerous blinds as I can because I want my superior position even stronger as the session alterations into heads up play. This is in thinking with the first or 3rd philosophy, where I know I’m going to generate the money, but I would like to be aggressive shorter handed most of the time, so that I have much more than my fair share of first place payoffs. Let’s say in the above circumstances that 1 of the other players collects all the chips rather than me. We obtain heads up and guess what? We are nearly even in chip count. Then it may perhaps be anybody’s game. Yes, I normally do nevertheless have an advantage, except I truly want the sort of advantage exactly where I’m also a four to one or even five to 1 chip leader! This will virtually remove the chance of my challenger winning the tournament by drawing out. And we all understand how typically that occurs heads up. I have a video of this exact method in my free sit and go poker video series.

Maintain this chance in mind as you get into a cash position. Don’t begin betting like you might be just pleased to produce the money, wager on like you’re happy to take the money!
