Community cards can often turn your seemingly strong hand into an ugly underdog if you aren’t paying attention. This is often the case when playing painted connectors such as here in the Midnight Madness poker tournament where I have KQ of diamonds in the big blind.

Online poker sites offer a wide range of sit and go poker tournaments for players of all skills and bankrolls. I highly recommend new players start in the sit and go circuit so as to make the most of their deposit, limit their risk, and learn the game as you go. Some sit and go tournaments actually start at under a dollar! Just go to your poker site lobby and look for the sit and go section. They all have them. For me I decided to play this 6 seated sit and go tournament. A lot of the 6 seated sit and go tournaments can be played for tokens to bigger tournaments as well.

You can sort by bb/100 and look at the main stats of your to 5 to 10 players, which in my DB shows pretty similar sorts of ranges.

Question for poker calculator programmers: So why it is not possible to create some player account into Tournament Indicator? This way stats would be split. Or another solution would be if TI was smart enough to recognize the type of game at least the type of table (2 6 9 10 handed table) and this way discriminate the stats.

If you have played sit and go tournaments online (if not, why not?), you have likely also used Sharkscope at one point or another. They have a free 5 day search limited, and pretty much unlimited paid version for about $10 a month. One of it's best researching features, is that you can cue up any of your opponents and graphically see what their sit and go performance has been to date.Once looking at a graph, I can tell you a LOT about any particular player, and this is information you can take right to the table. Here is a bit about Sharkscope and profiling characteristics.
