Sit N Go Poker Tournaments

Unlike regular online poker events, Sit N Go poker tournaments don’t work to a set schedule. Instead, you pick a table and simply wait for it to be filled with enough players to get started. Once that happens your SNG poker tournament is under way and the game is very much on.

Online poker players absolutely love SNG tournaments for their ease of access. There’s also the intriguing element of entering a virtual poker room with no idea of the caliber of player you’ll be up against.

SNG tournaments are typically short in duration, with turbo Sit N Go tournaments completed in as little as 30 minutes. Generally speaking you’ll be looking at around an hour or so, but lengths vary depending on the poker site and the specific format of poker being played.

Sit and Go events will generally have three distinct sections. As per Party Poker, “all tournaments have a beginning, middle and an end.” The number of players is cut at each juncture, as you head towards a final round with three players vying for the big prize on offer.

Once you get to the final there will typically be a 50-30-20 split of the prize money pool for the remaining three poker players in an online SNG poker tournament.

The amount of players in a Sit N Go varies anywhere from five players to as many as 50 in a huge multi-table tournament. There are tournaments to suit all tastes out there. It’s just a case of looking carefully through the sites listed above to find the style of SNG tourney that appeal most to you.
