In order to present our system in a very simple and easy to follow way, we have come up with the concept of Sit-n-Go Phases. Our style of play changes multiple times throughout a Sit-n-Go and we must have ways of describing these inflection points so that you can properly switch gears.
The following diagram shows the 3 basic Phases of our No Limit Sit-n-Go System:
As the tournament progresses, you jump through different stages within each phase. You are given exact details on how to play for each stage, along with which plays from our playbook you can use and exactly when to use them.
Phase I “Core”
Core Stages:
Key features:
51+ pages describe this section of play
Broken into 4 stages. Each stage is defined exhaustively – you’ll know exactly what stage you are in for every possible case.
Your play will vary within each stage depending on your stack size. Exact details are given telling you when to raise, when to call, when to go all-in, for every single possible combination you can be in – within each Stage!
You are given easy to follow sections that tell you what hands to play for each stage, for each condition (facing a raise, first to enter, facing reraise), for each position (late, early, middle, button, small blind, big blind).
After the flop play is described in a similar way as the preflop section. Details for each stage, position and hand strength are given. You are instructed what to do if you flop garbage, top pair, over pair, set, flush draw, etc.
