Last month I armed you with the basic strategies for Hold’em play. This issue I’m going to show you how to grow your bankroll by taking on the single table tournament, or sit-and-go.

It’s a hugely popular format that plays almost identically to the poker which can be seen on television. Shows like Late Night Poker and Sky’s Poker Million sport six people, with equal chips in a tournament format that sees the blinds rise at regular intervals. The game’s the same online, although most sit-and-gos start with ten players, which requires a slightly different tactical approach.

Sit-and-gos are popular for good reason.
