Finishes: Colors & Stains
Unlike in cash games, players are not free to cash out or rebuy at any time. Sit and go entrants 4️⃣ continue playing until they run out of chips. Prizes are awarded based on the position a player finishes the event. 4️⃣ While the last man standing wins the entire sit and go, prizes are often awarded to players who outlast the 4️⃣ rest of field: 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place etc.
Sit and goes come in a variety of different styles with 4️⃣ different rules and structures. Here is a short list of common structures -
Heads Up, 9-man, 180-man etc etc – Describes 4️⃣ the number of entrants required before the sit and go begins.
Hyper, Turbo, Hyper-Turbo, regular, Deep – The exact meaning depends 4️⃣ on the poker room, but these are references to the tournament structure. Turbo tournaments typically involve starting with relatively shallow 4️⃣ stacks along with fast increases in the blind levels. Deep tournaments are the opposite; deep starting stacks and relatively slow 4️⃣ increases in blind levels.
Double or Nothing – Half of the registrants double their buy-in amount while the other half walk 4️⃣ away with nothing.
