The player

You might recognise Simon ‘Aces’ Trumper from Late Night Poker where the Brit played against the likes of The Hendon Mob, Devilfish, Dave Colclough and Phil Hellmuth. Since winning the second series of LNP back in April 2000, Trumper’s won close to m in tournaments including the €500 Short-Handed No-Limit Hold’em event at the Euro Finals of Poker. He’s currently touring Norway with a bunch of Scandinavian models on the PurpleLounge.com tour bus. Lucky sod.

What’s a good way to approach short-handed sit-and-gos?
Basic strategy to follow is to play fairly tight at the beginning, take a couple of gambles in the midstages and then get superaggressive when you’re down to the last three.
