In the last two installments I’ve talked about the early and mid-game stages of a sit-and-go. Here I’ll take a look at the endgame of a sit-and-go, where you’re looking to get into the money.

Knowing how to play late-game strategy correctly is a must if you want to do well in sit-and-gos. In the late game there can be anywhere between two and nine players left, but usually there will be four to six. However, what determines when you reach the late game is the size of the big blind. A good rule of thumb is that when the big blind represents one-tenth of your starting stack you’ve reached the endgame.
