First, second and third pay out 50%, 30%, and 20%, respectively. Turbo SnGs, like their regular speed brothers, pay out the top 3 spots in a 9-handed tournament. For example, there is a $25 + $2 turbo NL Hold’em SnG where $25 goes to the prize pool and $2 is the rake. Upon entering, you pay an entry fee in addition to “the rake”, a small amount that goes to PokerStars for hosting the tournament.

For example, Triple Draw 2-7 is 6-handed, and HORSE and mixed Hold’Em are both 8-handed. In most games, turbo SnGs are 9-handed, although it does depend on the game. While there are multi-table and short-handed games, we’ll be focusing on single table Sit & Go turbos here. PokerStars offers SnGs in many different game formats, from No Limit Hold’em to Pot Limit Omaha to 5-Card Draw and and many other variants. In these tournaments, the blinds go up much faster than in normal tournaments, allowing the turbo player to play more tournaments in a shorter amount of time. Even more popular than the regular SnGs are the “turbo” variant. Since Sit&Go’s (SnGs) start whenever they get enough players, they are attractive for the casual player that doesn’t have much time to play.

Sit & Go Tournaments are a very popular option for players looking to get a tournament environment without the time commitment of a regularly scheduled Multi-Table Tournament.
