There may be an fascinating dynamic in Sit and go Tournaments that occurs to me approximately one out each and every five times I spot in the money. The predicament occurs when I am the chip chief and can take any of the other three outstanding gamblers out of the tournament in any given hand. In fact, I’ve them all protected and there is rather maybe a quick stack facing eradication on the bubble with no cash. When this happens, there is certainly a technique I engage that solidifies me as the odds on preferred to succeed 1st place.

Let me give you a scenario for instance. I am at a 9 seated, ten dollars plus $1 sit down and go on Full Tilt Poker – my preferred new site. All gamblers began with 1,500 chips and there are four gamblers left. I occur to be the chip chief with 6,850 whilst a short stack who has just five hundred and twenty five chips is to my immediate left. Another 2 gamblers are each around 3100 in chips and have stiffened up for an expected in-the-money finish. The blinds are 100/200 and I’m the smaller blind while the short stack awaits my next move as another two players folded and I am holding Ace, nines.

Certainly I’m the favourite here, and under normal conditions would put the brief stack to an all in decision. Instead – I fold and hand over my tiny blind to the shorter stack who now sits at a fairly relieved six hundred and twenty five chips. Why would I do that, you may perhaps ask? Having the opposite 2 tight players, set on making the cash is an advantage to a huge stack in this predicament, because having that 4th player still alive means that I can nonetheless threaten them with bubble play. Meaning, I can take a lot more blinds, out of place when the 2 tight players are the smaller blind and massive blind.

With a beneficial chip lead like this one, and numerous tight gamblers, I want to extract as quite a few blinds as I can because I want my dominant placement even more powerful as the session changes into heads up play. This is in thinking with the initially or third philosophy, where I know I am going to produce the cash, but I would like to be ambitious short handed most of the time, so that I receive far more than my fair share of initial location payoffs. Let us say in the above predicament that one of the other players collects all of the chips instead of me. We acquire heads up and guess what? We are nearly even in chip count. Then it may possibly be anybody’s game. Yes, I normally do even now have an advantage, but I genuinely want the type of advantage exactly where I’m also a 4 to 1 or even 5 to 1 chip chief! This will practically eliminate the opportunity of my opponent succeeding the tournament by drawing out. And we all know how often that occurs heads up. I’ve a video of this exact technique in my absolutely free sit down and go poker video series.

Keep this opportunity in mind as you obtain into a cash position. Do not begin betting like you are just joyful to generate the money, wager on like you might be happy to take the money!
