Winning Sit and Go tournaments is both an art and a skill. It’s crucial that you understand both your bankroll and winning SnG strategies in order to profit. Keep reading to learn more bankroll and SnG strategy.

Just like any other area of poker, luck plays a big part. You could play perfectly and get to the bubble, only to get knocked out by a sucker river. It happens.

That’s why it’s important that you have enough cash to play enough so that your stats even out and show your skill over the long run.

In general, you want to have 20x your buy-in. So if you’re playing 10+1 SnGs, you want to have 0 available to play with. This will give you enough padding to get enough statistical data that you know you’re winning over time.

Just like most other areas of poker, the best strategy is a tight & aggressive strategy. However, your game has to shift very quickly because of how fast SnGs move.

In the beginning, you should play very tight. As in only play AA, AK, KK, QQ and AQ from late position. This is because generally 1-3 players will go all in and knock themselves out within the first few rounds. Don’t get caught up in that.

You can also try and limp pre-flop with subpar hands and try to hit jackpot while the blinds are still low. This works for the starting blinds and the first blind raise, but after that start playing tight. Note that this is an advanced strategy.

Once you get to middle game, loosen up and start playing hands like TT. Still only play hands that are good and don’t be afraid to steal blinds. Be aggressive without being too loose.

If your chip stack starts getting low, loosen up even more. If your chip stack is big, tighten up a bit more.

As the blinds raise, steal as many blinds as you can. Steal from both the dealer button and dealer + 1.

Keep playing aggressive all to the end. Even in the bubble and especially when you’re in the money. Go for the top payout. This is the basic strategy of winning Sit and Go poker.

Start out very tight, loosen up and get aggressive. Play according to your chipstack and aim for first place.
