The Fastest And Easiest Way To Make A KILLING
At Online Poker Tournaments by Roy Rounder

Everyone knows the surest way to make money at
online poker is by WINNING TOURNAMENTS.

The reason is because you can win large multiples
of your buy-in... 200%, 500%, 1000%, or even higher.

In this strategy article we'll discuss step-by-step
exactly how I consistently make a "killing" at online
poker by beating Sit and Go tournaments. Read on
to learn this amazingly simple method...

What Is A Sit And Go?

A Sit and Go is an online poker tournament. The
name "Sit and Go" comes from the fact that these
games are fast-- with a clear beginning and end.

Each Sit and Go has a pre-determined number of
players... so once the spots are filled, the game starts.

Everyone in a Sit and Go must buy-in for the same
amount of money and starts with the same number
of chips.

The blinds gradually go up in "levels" or "stages"
until one player is left standing.

The payouts are determined before the game and
are displayed when you buy-in.

How Many Players Are In A Sit And Go?

Sit and Go's can have as many as 50 players or
as few as 2. It really just depends on which casino
you're playing at and which type YOU CHOOSE.

A majority of Sit and Go's are single table games
with 10 players. In a game like this, the top 3
finishers would place "in the money". ("Single
Table Tournament" is abbreviated STT.)

For instance, let's say you want to play a $10 Sit
and Go. You buy-in for $10 and pay an "entry fee"
to the casino-- probably a buck.

All 10 players would start with the same number of
chips-- let's say 800. The blinds would start low,
probably 5-10.

As the game progresses, the blinds will keep
increasing to force action. The buy-ins on a game
like this would total $100.

That money would get split between the top three
finishers. First place would be $50, second place
would get $30, and third place would get $20...

How Long Do Sit And Go's Last?

A 10-player Sit and Go will usually last between
30-60 minutes. Some casinos have "turbo" Sit
and Go's where the blinds go up faster. Turbo
games finish more quickly.

A 2-player Sit and Go-- which is really just a
"heads-up" match-- will often last a FEW
MINUTES before ending.

There are also Sit and Go's with 5 players, 8
players, 20 players, 30 players, and so on.

(A Sit and Go with more than 10 players will be
played on more than one table. These are known
as "Multi-Table Tournaments", abbreviated MTT.)

No limit Texas Holdem Sit and Go's are generally
faster than limit Sit And Go's... because the ability
to move "all-in" gets things moving.

How Do Sit And Go's And Ring Games Differ?

The easiest way to understand the distinction is
to understand that Sit and Go's are simply
TOURNAMENTS.

Ring games are like "cash games". Here are
some of the key differences:

* You can buy-in or leave anytime during a ring
game, whereas you must enter the beginning of
a Sit and Go to play.

* Sit and Go's have a clear start (when everyone
is ready) and end (when only one player is left).
Ring games are ongoing.

* The blinds go up during Sit and Go's, so in the
later stages you're forced to loosen your starting
hand selection and take risks. In ring games, the
blinds stay the same.

* Winning a Sit and Go requires a completely
different set of strategies and techniques than
winning a ring game...

Why Sit And Go's Are So Popular

Sit and Go's are HOT right now. I personally love
to play Sit and Go's, because I can often make
MORE money and have MORE fun than in ring
games.

Playing a ring game requires "grinding it out"...

Playing a Sit and Go is an exciting battle with ups
and downs-- with a "do or die" feeling to it.

And here's the best part: When you learn how to
master the STRATEGIES for Sit and Go's, you can
amass a FORTUNE in winnings!

You can predictably and consistently log onto your
computer and win tournament after tournament after
tournament...

Here's why: Since Sit and Go's pay the top finishers,
you don't have to place first to always make money.

You obviously WANT to win first-- but it's not necessary
for making a profit. I've developed a system of tactics
where I shoot for first, but "hedge my bets" to settle
for 2nd or 3rd as a backup plan...

How To Consistently Beat Sit And Go's

Because of their unique structure, there are SPECIFIC
strategies you need to beat Sit and Go's on a
consistent basis.

It's taken me YEARS to "crack the code" on this and
figure it all out. But now that I have, I can easily log
onto my online poker account and make money...
just about every time.

It's a great feeling. And I want to share it with you.

That's why I developed Sit & Go Shark:

The concept for Sit And Go Shark is actually very
simple. This easy-to-install poker software is like
having your very own PERSONAL POKER COACH.

That "coach", of course, is me.

When you use Sit & Go Shark, the program shares
several pieces of IMPORTANT ADVICE that you
need to be thinking about at the table-- everything
from your cards to blinds to positioning to pot odds
and more...

The advice - which took me over 6 MONTHS to write-
is drawn from a HUGE DATABASE of possible
combinations and factors.

It runs alongside your table while you play, so it
requires ZERO extra work from you.

I should also point out that online casinos don't
mind if you use Sit & Go Shark. As you know,
some software out there is banned and dangerous
to use... and I would never, ever recommend you
to any of these software programs. You can feel
comfortable using anything I point you to.

Anyway, like I was saying, Sit & Go Shark is like
having me sitting on your shoulder... telling you
what to do each step of the way... and teaching
you how to handle the situation.

You'll get two main benefits from using it:

1. You'll win more (a LOT more) money simply by
following the advice.

2. You'll learn more (a LOT more) about the game
of Texas Holdem. You'll even do better at offline
tournaments and ring games, even though you
won't have the tool in front of you.

Pretty cool, huh?

OK, so that's Sit & Go Shark in a nutshell. To get

10 Useful Online Poker Tips

Here are ten tips to keep in mind when you play poker online:

1. Watch for the table speed when playing for small stakes. The game moves very quickly and you are timed out and folded if you don’t make a move on time.

2. Don't get carried away with the excitement. You will feel a rush of adrenaline when you play at first and win your first few hands but always stay focused and don’t be tempted to bet the next hand because you’re “on a roll”. Also, don’t go off course and try to “chase” a loss by betting on the next hand in anger or frustration. Bide your time until you get the right cards.

3. Try and watch the other players and learn their moves. It is hard online but you can tell a hesitant player by the length of time he takes to play. He may be playing a poor hand and will fold if you raise him.

4. Set yourself a goal and walk away when you achieve it. Whether it’s an hourly or daily target, quit when you’ve achieved it. There’s always tomorrow.

5. Remember you are playing by a system, don't get involved in "lucky streaks".

6. Be aware of potential internet connection problems. If you get disconnected and cannot reconnect in time your hand will be folded.

7. Play free tournaments - Freerolls - for prizes, it will sharpen up your game as you'll be against the big boys. Anyway it's fun, free and you might even win something!

8. Be aware of the boredom factor that can occur if you’re playing for long spells. Take regular breaks rather than allowing your concentration to slip.

9. Don’t get complacent when you start to win. Remember if you lose your discipline you may well be beaten by a “tight” player who’s only playing very good hands.

10. Be sure you know why you’re doing this. If you love playing poker and you don’t mind losing then fine, take more chances. But if like me your main focus is to earn more money – stay disciplined and stick to the plan.
