Poker Sit and Go Announcement: Displaying Mercy on the Small Stack
January 8th, 2011 by Holden

There may be an fascinating powerful in Sit and go Tournaments that happens to me approximately one out each 5 times I location in the cash. The circumstances occurs when I’m the chip chief and can take any of the other three remaining players out of the tournament in any given hand. In reality, I’ve them all protected and there is rather maybe a short stack facing eradication on the bubble with no money. When this occurs, there’s a system I engage that solidifies me as the odds on preferred to win first place.

Let me give you a situation for example. I am at a 9 seated, ten dollars plus 1 dollar sit down and go on Full Tilt Poker – my preferred new site. All players started with one thousand five hundred chips and there are four players left. I happen to be the chip leader with six thousand eight hundred and fifty even though a shorter stack who has just 525 chips is to my immediate left. The other 2 players are each around three thousand one hundred in chips and have stiffened up for an anticipated in-the-money finish. The blinds are 100/200 and I’m the tiny blind while the shorter stack awaits my next move as one other 2 gamblers folded and I am holding Ace, nines.

Surely I’m the favorite here, and under typical circumstances would put the shorter stack to an all in decision. Instead – I fold and hand over my little blind to the brief stack who now sits at a somewhat relieved 625 chips. Why would I do that, you might ask? Having one other 2 tight gamblers, set on making the money is an advantage to a huge stack in this circumstance, because having that fourth player even now alive means that I can nevertheless threaten them with bubble play. Meaning, I can take far more blinds, out of place when the 2 tight gamblers are the tiny blind and massive blind.

With a beneficial chip lead like this one, and several tight players, I would like to extract as several blinds as I can because I want my superior place even more powerful as the session changes into heads up play. This is in thinking with the very first or third philosophy, where I know I am going to make the money, but I need to be aggressive quick handed most of the time, so that I have more than my fair share of 1st site payoffs. Let us say in the above scenario that 1 of the other gamblers gathers all of the chips rather than me. We acquire heads up and guess what? We are almost even in chip count. Then it may well be anybody’s game. Yes, I normally do nonetheless have an benefit, except I really want the sort of advantage wherever I’m also a 4 to one or even 5 to one chip leader! This will virtually get rid of the likelihood of my challenger succeeding the tournament by drawing out. And we all understand how generally that takes place heads up. I’ve a video of this exact strategy in my free sit down and go poker video slot machines series.

Keep this opportunity in mind as you obtain into a money position. Don’t start wagering like you might be just joyful to produce the money, play like that you are pleased to take the cash!
