Watch and Learn Using a Sit and Go Video

Whether you are a seasoned sit and go tournament player, or you are just starting out; there is a lot you can learn about how to play the game by sitting down and watching a sit and go video now and then.

The difference between watching a game for entertainment, and watching one for instructional purposes, is what you walk away with when you are all through watching. If you’re watching causally, you walk away saying “Wow, that was a great tournament,” or something like that. But when you are watching a game for educational purposes, you will probably want to dissect each hand and play it over and over again.

That’s why the sit and go video is such a great training tool. Unlike just watching others play, these training videos are made so you can see every player’s cards. That way you can see what the saw when they made their decision to fold or go all in. You can also put yourself into each player’s seat, mentally, and see what decision you would have made if you were him.

Another good thing about watching a sit and go video is you can stop, rewind and fast forward through the tournament so you can focus on just the parts of the game that match the areas where you need improvement. That’s a lot more efficient than having to watch a game from start to finish.

You can get these videos online almost anywhere. A quick search on Google or YouTube will turn up plenty. You can also download them from many sit and go tournament sites, and they are also included with many online poker school training materials.

It’s good to have a variety of poker videos available so you can tailor a collection that is specifically designed to help strengthen you in the areas you are weak. Add to your collection some of the videos from the year’s most popular sit and go tournaments and you’ll end up with a great training library that can help you increase your stack size under even the most trying conditions.

A good sit and go tournament player knows that he or she can never afford to stop learning. So if you want to start winning more poker tournament hands than you lose, get yourself a collection of sit and go video.
