Poker Sit and Go Report: How to Avoid Tossing your Computer Through a Window.
This strategy report could also be called Anger Management for Online Poker Players, but I thought the throwing the computer thing was pretty typical of a tilt session in the privacy of your home or office. Tilting is the result of inadequate anger management, and to help manage your anger in poker, here are some critical elements of your game that you need to master. If you can’t grasp the importance of bankroll management, situation analysis, and emotional detachment then you stand little chance of being successful at sit and go tournaments.

There is an interesting dynamic in Sit and Go Tournaments that happens to me approximately one out every five times I place in the money. The situation occurs when I am the chip leader and can take any of the other 3 remaining players out of the tournament in any given hand. In fact, I have them all covered and there is quite possibly a short stack facing elimination on the bubble with no money. When this occurs, there is a strategy I engage that solidifies me as the odds on favorite to win first place.

Poker Sit and Go Report: Not giving up when you are a Short Stack.
I have played in many single table tournaments where my stack was depleted quite early. It could be through no fault of my own play, but almost as often, I suffer from brain gaps as well. On the tougher side though, my AA losing to KK is a common scenario for this. (By the way, why does my KK never beat an opponents AA?) Here are the goods with being a short stack early in the tournament. Lets say my 1500 chips turns into 140 after my pocket aces go down to a chumps J9os. Yes, this happens more than you may realize on the internet! I was in the big blind when it happened and the blinds were just raised to 20/40. The way I see it, I can look at another twenty hands before I am forced to do something. Twenty hands provides me with a fair shot of seeing a decent hand to run with, but I am looking for other opportunities as well.

Building your online bankroll with sit and go poker. You may know already that sit and go action is where a good, solid poker bankroll can be built. You get to choose your maximum risk, and play against a variety of talent giving you plenty of value for your buy-in, unfortunately, most poker calculators are not designed for sit and go poker.
Full Article; Marginal hands in sit and go tournaments are quite simply the death of weak players. Before you begin to make the money in Sit and Go Tournaments, you need to know how to fold. Not being able to, is the single, biggest, critical mistake that MOST players make on a consistent basis. Yes, I wrote MOST players. In fact, their lack of discipline will often boost you to the money, but you need self control when it comes to tossing these hands yourself, as your opponents will go down one by one, playing the very hand that you correctly discarded.
