Looking through Bodog Poker tournaments under Buy In, what does it mean $20+$1. I assume you are paying $20 to get into one, but what is the $1? Overall how much would I risk if I tried one? $20? Thanks
Mex Stallion you pay $ 21. Here is a example for the $20 + $2 sit n go tourny. you register for $22 1 st place receives $ 100.00 2 nd place $60.00 3 rd place $ 40.00 . This is a 10 player sit n go Turbo tourny. Here is additional information on the tournies. Hope this answer any of your questions? I play the $6.50 sit-n-goes daily. They are short and fun.
What is a Sit and Go?
Sit and Gos are single table tournaments that only begin when the table is full – there is no schedule. It’s all about finding a seat, waiting for it to start, then trying to finish in the money.
Everyone in a Sit and Go buys in for the same amount of money and starts with the same number of chips. The blinds gradually go up in "levels" or "stages" until one player is left standing. Payouts are set before the game and displayed when you buy in.
To find these tournaments, go to the Bodog Poker room where you’ll see a list of Sit and Gos ready for sign-ups. Bodog offers Sit and Gos 24/7.
These types of tournaments are a great way to get "final table" experience (as if you were playing a Scheduled Tournament). Except with a Sit and Go, you start out at the "final table" with a real do-or-die attitude.
How Long Does a Sit and Go Last?
A 10-player table will usually take between 30 – 60 minutes. Bodog also offers short-handed Sit and Gos (six players) and Turbo versions where the blinds shoot up faster (these games are much quicker).
If you’re playing a Heads-Up match (just two of you), a Sit and Go game can be over in minutes. And at the other extreme, Multi-Table Sit and Gos can take a lot longer.
Bear in mind that No Limit Texas Holdem Sit and Gos are usually faster than Limit Sit and Gos because players can go “all-in” and really get things moving.
How Many Players are in a Sit and Go?
In the Bodog Poker Room you’ll see everything from Heads-Up games (of two people), and short-handed (six players) - to the usual 10-player tables (Single Table Tournaments, or STTs), and also the MSGs (Multi-Table Sit and Gos) for up to 45 players. In an STT, usually the top three finishes will place in the money, whereas beginner Sit and Gos have more money spots.
Multi-Table Sit and Go
A Multi-Table Sit and Go (MSG) is a mini-tournament that doesn’t begin at a designated time (like scheduled tournaments), but rather when all of the seat are filled. Bodog hosts Multi-Table Sit and Go tournaments that include 18 to 45 players (two to five tables).
Blind levels increase based on time depending on the type of tournament you decide to play in. Our regular MSGs have blinds increase at 10 minute intervals, whereas our turbo MSGs will have blinds increase at five minute intervals. Payouts for these tournaments range depending on the size of the tournament that a player chooses to participate in. To view the payout structure for any given tournament, go to the Bodog Poker Room, and double-click on the tournament in question to open the Tournament Lobby.
Sit and Go Strategy
Stack Size: When playing in a Sit and Go tournament, keep an eye on your stack size compared to that of your opponents. As the blinds elevate, it’ll force action, and short-stacked players will have to get creative with their play.
Blinds: The other important factor in a Sit and Go is blinds. As they go up, try to keep your stack size ahead of them. Sit and Gos have an elevated blind structure, where blinds are raised far more often. Read more in the Bodog Poker Tips.
Good Luck and Hope to hear from you at the tables. Pine Hill Turbo is my Home felt.
