Poker Sit Down and Go Report: Showing Care for the Short Stack
There exists an fascinating powerful in Sit down and go Tournaments that happens to me approximately one out each five times I place in the money. The scenario happens when I am the chip chief and can take any of the other three outstanding players out of the tournament in any given hand. In reality, I have them all protected and there is really maybe a small stack facing elimination on the bubble with no cash. When this happens, there is certainly a strategy I engage that confirms me as the odds on preferred to succeed first place.
Let me give you a situation for example. I am at a 9 seated, ten dollars plus $1 sit and go on Full Tilt Poker - my favourite new site. All gamblers began with 1,500 chips and there are 4 players left. I happen to be the chip chief with six thousand eight hundred and fifty although a small stack who has just 525 chips would be to my immediate left. The opposite two gamblers are each around 3100 in chips and have tightened up for an anticipated in-the-money finish. The blinds are one hundred / two hundred and I am the smaller blind whilst the quick stack awaits my next move as the other 2 gamblers folded and I am holding A9s.
Surely I am the preferred here, and under normal circumstances would put the brief stack to an all in decision. Instead - I fold and hand over my little blind to the shorter stack who now sits at a somewhat relieved six hundred and twenty five chips. Why would I do that, you may possibly ask? Having one other 2 tight players, set on making the money is an advantage to a huge stack in this predicament, because having that fourth player nonetheless alive means that I can nevertheless threaten them with bubble play. Meaning, I can take a lot more blinds, out of placement when the 2 tight players are the tiny blind and massive blind.
With a good chip lead like this one, and a number of tight gamblers, I wish to extract as numerous 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 first or third philosophy, in which I know I am going to produce the cash, but I want to be aggressive brief handed most of the time, so that I get much more than my fair share of initial site payoffs. Let us say in the above circumstances that 1 of the other players 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 be anybody's game. Yes, I normally do even now have an advantage, except I actually want the kind of advantage exactly where I am also a four to one or even 5 to one chip leader! This will practically get rid of the chance of my challenger succeeding the tournament by drawing out. And we all understand how frequently that happens heads up. I've a video of this exact system in my free of charge sit down and go poker video series.
Keep this opportunity in mind as you have into a money position. Do not begin betting like you will be just happy to make the money, wager on like that you are joyful to take the cash!
