Articles And Widgets To Help You Get The Most From The Blueprint Course
This page contains all the links, deals and widgets mentioned in Part #1 of the Sit N Go Blueprint course. There are 100’s more Sit n Go articles in addition to those listed here. Bookmark this page now as you’ll need different parts of the material as you go through the course.
I have also created resource pages for Part 2 and another one for the end of the course – which outlines some great next steps on your journey to profitable poker.
First below are some ways you can meet the dual objectives of getting your bankroll off to a good start, and finding profitable games to play in. After that you’ll find links to articles on squeezing and 3-betting, and also my poker bankroll calculator and fish-o-meter widgets.

Non-US Players: Titan Poker – 200% + $20 (Exclusive) Extra Cash + Very Recreational Tables
Titan are a great place to get your Sit N Go bankroll off to a flying start. The bonus offer is generous, though this is not the main reason I am starting you at this site. It is the huge numbers of players who cross over every day from the sports-betting part of the giant iPoker Network, which Titan is the leading site on. These are generally not experienced poker players, like to gamble and generally make the games a lot of fun and very profitable indeed.
You’ll notice the difference.
The $20 extra is an exclusive for SNG Planet, all you need to do is register with bonus code SNGPLANET, make a deposit (matched at 200%!) and I will then ensure that the $20 is paid into your player account within 48 hours – usually sooner.
When you cash out that big bankroll later on, you’ll be happy you discovered Titan while you were learning the ropes. Check them out now at www.titanpoker.com
US Players: - BetOnline Poker - Growing Volume + VERY Recreational Traffic
BetOnline are primarilya sports betting brand, and recently joined to the Chico Network - which is now challenging for 2nd place in the US traffic rankings. The Sit N Goes are super-soft. What you will find is that there are a lot fewer 'grinders' here. Instead it is filled with ordinary people who came to the site to bet on sports, and found their way into the poker room.
You will not find enough games to fill your screen at one time (you'll need to add WPN later for that). What you will find are very profitable Sit N Goes, giving you the chance to learn the format and grow your bankroll at the same time.
Growing your bankroll will be helped by the 200% welcome bonus for new players - and the list of player promotions which is as long as anything I have seen in my decade in the poker business! BetOnline are experienced with deposits too, and will accept your credit card first time a lot of the time.
I’m tipping Chico Network / BetOnlne to close the gap on the biggest US site (Bovada with their strange anonymous tables!) as we go towards 2016. Check them out for yourself at www.betonline.eu
Article Resources – Blueprint Part #1
Here are some articles which can help build on the material for part 1 of the course – without going so fast that you find yourself at Part 3 before the key points have sunken in.
How To Stop Finishing 4th In SNGs – Experienced Pro Nick looks at the main causes.
The Push Over Limpers – When the blinds start getting high and you have some passive opponents, shoving all in to take those bets can be a very profitable move
High Blinds And 6 or 7 Players Left - This is an increasingly common situation, and the correct plays often become blurred – check out this article for more.
SNG Planet Widgets To Help You Improve Your Profits
First up, you’ll need to manage your bankroll – I know this is not the fun end of profitable poker – it is just that without it you are dooming yourself right from the start. I have a widget, imaginatively titled the Bankroll Management Calculator, which shows you what buy-in levels you should be playing at for what bankroll. Remember that the welcome bonuses I outlined above will give you a nice boost.
You can check the bankroll calculator here.
If you are looking for fishy (as in lots of inexperienced opponents) poker sites, then I recommend the Fish-o-Meter. This is a fun tool, though does have a serious message – players throughout the world are costing themselves a lot of money by playing at sites with large numbers of pro grinders compared to recreational players.
Part 2 of the course will be with you very soon.
GL at the tables, Mark
