For those poker players who play mostly live poker in a full ring game, the adjustments to six-handed play is vast. Add on the speed of the online game and you have the potential of turning a previously big winner on the felt, to a tilting donkey that the online sharks are circling in at for the kill.

Scott Fischman, online poker player turned WSOP bracelet holder, dropped by Full Tilt's site to lend a helping hand to those players wanting to sharpen their Six-max Sit and Go tourney skills. Here's a piece of the article, follow the link to the entire post:

Most people are familiar with the differences between one-table Sit & Go tournaments (SNGs) and other forms of poker. Because these tournaments only pay the top three finishers at a nine-handed table, the standard strategy is to play conservatively until the tournament becomes short-handed and then become more aggressive during short-handed play.

Many newer SNG players favor these nine-handed tournaments because the blinds only increase every six minutes, providing a good amount of play. While these are great tournaments, I also encourage people to try other types of SNGs, including turbos where the blinds increase every three minutes, and six-handed games where you start off playing short-handed and only the top-two finishers are paid.
