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.

What are Sit and Go tournaments
Sit and Go tournaments, also known as SNG or Sit n Go tournaments, are poker tournaments which are played till one last player is left and he is the one that take all the pot.
In Sit and Go tournaments each player pays an entrance fee that is gathered together and is used as the prize the last player gets. Sit and Go tournaments are usually fast and are not recommended for new poker players.
Some poker room offers an option of creating custom Sit and Go tournaments organized by them.

Peter Gelencser winning the last PartyPoker European challenge
Peter Gelencser, a young rising star in the world of poker. This 20 year old poker player took home first place with over 160,000 Euro in the European challenge held by Party Poker.
I was especially impressed by Gelencser’s quiet style, as opposed to his 2007 performance. While in the 2007 games he stood up throughout all the games but failed to reach the top, this year he was not even noticed till the few last rounds and ended up taking first place.
