Poker tournaments can be very challenging and an opportunity to win a lot of money, especially the sit and go tournament. It is this competition, the Sit and Go that we will be discussing in this article. But just knowing the basic rules of poker cannot be enough to win the competition. Don't get me wrong, having a thorough knowledge of the rules is very important but there are rules to the competition as well. These rules need to be recognized, acknowledged and understood, not to mention followed, only then can you truly get ahead in the game.
The first basic rule of the competition is that it is a competition that starts at a particular time. All participants need to be enrolled before that time otherwise they will not be allowed into the competition later on. Enrollment is easy enough really. Since all players start on a level playing field, money-wise, all the players are expected to buy the same number of poker chips in the beginning. Once this is done you are officially allowed to play at any table. This particular process in poker terms is called a Buy-In. the buying of the poker chips is important because the rules of the game dictate that any and all bets made during the competition must be in chips only. No cash, cheques or personal effects may be bet at any time during the game. The chips are representations of their monetary values. In the event you lose all your chips, you lose the match and are eliminated.
The other rules are pertaining to the game play and are similar to the rules of regular poker. The tournaments can be played with a variety of variants like H.O.R.S.E or H.O.S.E in which a combination of the variants are played. The variants are all played in the traditional fashion and they have their own rules that you need to be aware of if you are to take part in the competition. The hierarchy of the hands remains the same and the tie breakers involved to do not differ.
As with all poker games it is important to remember that the trick to a successful play is to be able to read the players around you and try to figure out their betting pattern. By reading body language and subtle gestures you pick up, you can know when one is bluffing and when one has a high hand. Reading your opponents can be helpful but is not always too feasible, especially in the case of hardened players. In that case you need to put more attention in your hand. If you have a really high hand which will be difficult to beat then you can craftily force your opponents to be part of the game by slowly raising the bets. This way you can increase your winnings. If you have an amazing hand, you should not go all in right at the start. This play will put your opponents on the defensive and they might fold.
