sometiems it depends which sites you play sit n gos on.

Some sites you start with 1500 chips and others only 1000, some sites have 8 minute blinds and others 10 or 12 mins.

I prefer the slower structures where you can sit back and let the donkeys knock each other out unless you have good hands or hit good flops. You tend to find at least 2 or 3 on every table especially at the $5 level.

Once it gets to 5 or 6 players you only really need to double up once to make the top 3. Obviously nothing is guaranteed as you could have a good hand and still lose but playing tight at the start is definately the best way to make the cash regularly in sng's
