Sit and Go tournament Strategy

I am not really going to go all over the Sit and Go strategies in details, but I am going to explain the basics and that will help any poker player entering a Sit and Go tournament to know, more or less, what to do and not to do in all the stages of the tournament.

It doesn't matters which game is played in the Sit and Go tournament, whether it's Texas Holdem poker, Omaha poker or 7 stud poker, the first thing to understand about Sit and Go tournaments is that they should be referred to by 3 different parts: The first stage, the middle stage and the last stage.

Each of these 3 stages requires different approaches and strategies and they are very different by the way of calculating odds and by the chances a player should take.

The most important thing to remember when playing in a sit and go tournament is that the winner takes it all, which means your chances of winning anything are best if you manage to stay in as long as possible. This of course requires being patient, avoiding risky moves and playing it low till the end.

Hungarian conquering online poker

Many online poker rooms are trying to get into the eastern European market for the last 3 years or so, but only recently there has been a significant rising in the Hungarian market.

Other than the fact that there are many poker players conquering the different poker tournaments including the WSOP with many bracelet winners, the EPT and others.

Maybe the success of so many Hungarian in the well known international poker tournaments is the reason, or maybe it’s the economy which has caused so many unemployed people looking for alternative ways of making money.
