Roundtable Discussion: Sit-n-gos
It seemed like we hadn’t won a sit-n-go tournament in years. We wondered: Were we getting unlucky or were we just crap?

Bluff: Tell us how you began playing sit-n-gos online and what levels you played
Shannon Shorr: I played mostly on Party as BLUFFforRENT, and I mostly played the Speed $215/530s. [A “speed” or “turbo” sit-n-go is a sitn- go in which the blinds move up more rapidly than they would in a normal one.]
Joey Michael: I play as Newtbuggins on Party and bigjoe2003 on PokerStars. I started playing sit-n-gos in December, 2005. I began with the $55s and moved to the $215s when Party did the software and structure upgrade for their sit-n-gos. Then this May, I moved up to the $530s, and have been playing those ever since.
Chip Ferguson: I’ve been playing sit-n-gos since September 2005. I started playing the $109s, and moved up to the $215s in February, and finally started playing $530s in May. My screen name is z32fanatic on all sites….. read rest of article at Bluff Magazine
