Poker is the perfect game to play online. There are so many ways to take advantage of the Internet, from learning the basics, to playing against the computer as a way to hone skills and gain confidence, and on to playing in tournaments to make money and reach new levels of achievement. Poker is one of the most popular card games in the world; millions of dollars are won (and lost) in tournaments, with the World Series of Poker the highest pinnacle of Pokerdom. If your goal is to improve your poker skills to one day take a seat at a top-level tournament (or even just to better enjoy poker night with the lads), the William Hill Sit and Go tournaments are the way to.Sit & Go tournaments (also known as single-seat tournaments) feature Texas Hold’em. Hold’em is the game in which each player receives two cards face down; these are the cards known as the “hole”. Following that, five cards are dealt for everyone to use; these are known as the community cards. Players combine their two cards with the communal cards, and the best five-card hand wins. It’s exciting, it’s suspenseful and it’s a great way to win money. At the highest levels, the game requires nerves of steel, intense concentration, and genuine talent.It’s Easy to Register to a Sit & Go TournieAnyone who’s a member of William Hill Poker can join one of the site’s Sit & Go tournaments. Each tournie has either ten or six seats and, once those seats are filled, the games begin. There are Sit & Go tournaments for beginners, with buy-ins as low as £1, and there are tournaments for the more daring, in which the ante (also known as the “blind”) can reach £500. The pots at some tables are limited, but there are no-limit tables as well. In other words, there’s a table for every player and perhaps a pot with your name on it.Signing up for the William Hill Sit & Go tournaments is easy and quick. Once you download the poker software you’ll see a Sit & Go icon; clicking on this tab then offers more information about upcoming tournaments. When you see one that fits the bill and that still has seats available, you can register and, when the time comes (when the table is full), a pop-up box will let you know that it’s time to get your poker face on. Once you try your first Sit & Go tournie, you’ll see that it’s the ideal way to play the game that you love.
