Many players will try and play sit n gos, but find they are not making any money. They scratch their heads and wonder what they’re doing wrong. Should I have done this should I have done that? I hear time and time again. Why aren’t I making any money?
The answer is… nothing. They are probably good players and making the correct plays but find themselves losing money.
When I ask them how many they play, the answer is generally the same. Not enough.
In order to make money at these games, you must be prepared to play a significant amount of games. The reason is you may lose 4, 5 or even 10 in a row. Trust me, it will happen.
You could be a great player but when you only play 2 or 3 games a day, you will not be able to outrun the variance.
Let’s look at this example. If you play 10 games and lose the first 5 but place in the money for the rest you are coming out ahead.
