How I Became a Sit N Go Pro

I had been struggling for over a year in the online poker world. I have never been a poker loser but I was also not being much of a winner for the amount of time and effort I was putting in to becoming a great poker player. I was simply plugging along, playing every evening and swallowing up poker theory books like they were candy. I kept blaming the problems on the fact that the other players were not following the rules of poker. Then, I took a break, left poker behind me for a couple of weeks thinking that there must be a better way to make money online…

…then I came back to poker. I kept telling myself; poker can work for you, you’re a smart player, you understand the basic theories, so why aren’t you winning? I started to look at what style of poker was working for me...where was I making money? Certainly not in limit poker, it was too boring, and certainly not in ring games, I got too bored, played things that I shouldn’t, and leaked money. That left tournament poker, and it really was where I had made the most money. That led me to the sit n go style of poker. Now I play sit n goes exclusively and this is why:

-There’s a low risk with a high return. Most sit n goes have a payout structure that includes the top three players. The first place player receives half the pot, the second place player gets thirty percent and the third place player gets twenty percent. In any sit n go there are usually six or seven fish, so making it to the money isn’t that difficult.
