When players think about a sit and go, they typically think of a 9 handed tournament where the top 3 places are paid. While these sit and goes are amongst the most common, sit and goes are actually offered with a wide range of different entrant numbers and prize structures.
The way we approach a satellite sit and go will be different from the way we approach a sit and go where the prizepool is more top heavy. We get the idea. Even sit and goes with identical numbers of entrants will often make use of different blind structures and level speeds. Good players will take some time to analyze the types of sit and go they are targeting and construct rough strategies for playing in every stage of the tournament. In the middle rounds of a Sit and Go you want to be taking advantage of your opponents tight play , seizing control pre-flop with your strong hands, and steal the blinds around once per round or two when in position.
This is done regardless of if you improve or not on the flop. Your goal here would be to limp from early or middle position, get raised, and then come back over the top for a re-raise. I see a lot of chip leaders make an early exit from Sit and Go tournaments by taking on the role of table bully.
Trying to dominate your opponents with frequent raises will tip them off to play patiently and reraise you when they have a premium hand. Folding to enough reraises will put you back down to the middle of the pack. Try to slowly accumulate chips with blind steals and small raises.
This should both increase your intimidating table image and set you up as the favorite when play becomes shorthanded. Perhaps one of the most essential skills to have in Sit and Go tournaments is knowing how and when to steal the blinds. After all, if you could steal the blinds just once per round you would always stay afloat in the tournament. It also helps you stay patient by allowing you to have fodder to pay the blinds while you wait for a powerful hand.
To steal the blinds you should be the first one into pot making a standard 2. This should also only be tried from about position 6 cutoff or later including the small blind as there will be fewer players behind you that may have a good enough hand to play back. Any time you have less than 5 or 6 big blinds left M you should look for any above-average hand and stick everything in.
If you wait longer, there is a much greater chance that your bet will be called in multiple places, which of course decreases your expected win rate. With any other hand you just want to win a set of blinds. Your goal with such a short stack is to either pick up the blinds uncontested or isolate to a heads-up situation where you still may have an advantage.
Good job! Most often, the action will take place before the flop. The small blind gets to make the first move preflop so if you have any semblance of a hand you should raise and try to take the big blind. If your opponent is timid you should definitely run over him as often as possible.
You can be armed with any pocket pair, any Ace or King-face-card, or even suited connectors. If you do get called there are few situations that will make you a prohibitive underdog. A-A or undercards vs. Both of those require your opponent to have an overpair and the odds of that happening in the few hands you and your opponents will have the blinds to play are very low. Your opponent is likely going to fold most hands uncontested pre-flop.
Even if you make an all-in move and get called with a less-than-stellar hand you still have a decent chance to win. I would rather trade the risk of my opponent waking up with a premium pocket pair and busting me out for the chance to steal most of his chips while he folds and waits for a better chance to fight back. The most important adjustments happens during the middle stages when there are four or five players left. By this point the blinds have likely increased enough to make them a central focus of everyone at the table.
By playing this style during the mid-stages you have a better chance at reaching the bubble with a decent-sized stack. That stack will allow you to exert pressure on short stacks while not having to worry about risking your tournament life. All you need to do is outlast the other three or five players. That means that chip accumulation is only important up to a certain point and the value of chips you keep in your stack raises tremendously.
