Rakeback Poker Tips: SnG’s

When playing in Sit n Go’s choosing your stakes players should consider three important factors. This bankroll strategy guide will elaborate further how those three factors affect your Sit N Go Stakes.
This is an interactive process–you have to examine all three of these factors when considering entering a game.

1. Win Frequency

The key here is to be honest about your performance. You will be much happier, and have a healthier bankroll, if you choose a stakes level that pays you more often than it beats you. If however, you are only winning the occasional game, then the stakes level probably exceeds your poker skill so move down in the stakes and work on your game.
2. Your Bankroll
A general rule of thumb is that your bankroll should be 10 times the stake amount. This is because you should expect to lose at least 7 of ten games. This is why players play at the lower stakes with a high win frequency build their bankroll before moving up the stakes. Players who have a rakeback deal in place will increase their bankroll quicker but it is important to still play within your win frequency expectations.

3. Payout Structure

The third important factor when choosing what Sit n go stakes to play at is the payout structure. This varies depending on the rakeback poker rooms you are playing at. The payout structure and the expected win frequency go hand in hand in determining which games to play. By calculating your expected win frequency and the resulting payout for your placing you can see if the stakes result in a profitable bankroll.
