Tournaments
Sit & Go (SNG) in poker
Definition
A small tournament that starts as soon as enough players have registered, instead of at a scheduled time.
Typical Sit & Go games have 6, 9 or 10 players at one table and pay the top two or three. They are quick and have lower variance than large multi-table tournaments.
Heads-up Sit & Go games, with only two players, are called HU SNG.
