There is an fascinating dynamic in Sit and go Tournaments that occurs to me approximately one out every five times I site in the money. The scenario occurs when I am the chip chief and can take any of the other 3 outstanding gamblers out of the tournament in any given hand. In reality, I have them all protected and there is rather possibly a quick stack facing eradication on the bubble with no money. When this happens, there may be a method I engage that confirms me as the odds on favorite to succeed very first place.
Let me offer you a scenario for example. I am at a nine seated, ten dollars plus 1 dollar sit and go on Full Tilt Poker – my favourite new site. All gamblers started with 1,500 chips and there are 4 gamblers left. I happen to be the chip leader with 6,850 even though a small stack who has just 525 chips is to my immediate left. The other 2 players are both around three thousand one hundred in chips and have tightened up for an expected in-the-money finish. The blinds are one hundred / two hundred and I’m the modest blind although the quick stack awaits my next move as the opposite 2 players folded and I am holding A9s.
Surely I’m the favourite here, and under typical conditions would put the shorter stack to an all in decision. Instead – I fold and hand over my tiny blind to the brief stack who now sits at a somewhat relieved six hundred and twenty five chips. Why would I do that, you may well ask? Having the opposite two tight gamblers, set on making the cash is an benefit to a large stack in this predicament, because having that 4th player nevertheless alive means that I can even now threaten them with bubble play. Meaning, I can take much more blinds, out of placement when the two tight players are the modest blind and big blind.
With a very good chip lead like this one, and numerous tight gamblers, I would like to extract as several blinds as I can because I want my dominant placement even stronger as the session changes into heads up play. This is in thinking with the initially or 3rd philosophy, wherever I know I am going to produce the cash, except I want to be ruthless brief handed most of the time, so that I get far more than my fair share of 1st site payoffs. Let’s say in the above circumstances that 1 of the other gamblers collects all the chips as opposed to me. We get heads up and guess what? We are virtually even in chip count. Then it may well be anybody’s game. Yes, I usually do nevertheless have an benefit, but I actually want the kind of benefit where I’m also a 4 to 1 or even 5 to 1 chip chief! This will practically remove the probability of my challenger succeeding the tournament by drawing out. And we all know how often that occurs heads up. I have a video of this exact system in my no cost sit and go poker video slot machines series.
Keep this opportunity in mind as you have into a cash position. Don’t start betting like you will be just happy to produce the cash, play like you are pleased to take the cash!
