Definition
Sit & Go: A Sit & Go is a tournament that starts as soon as a set number of players have registered, rather than at a fixed time.

Sit & Gos are often single-table events with 6 or 9 players, though some use several tables. Blinds usually rise quickly, so short-stack play and ICM skills matter a great deal. They are a good way to practise tournament endgames in a short session. Results in any single Sit & Go swing a lot, so judge your play over many games.
Example: A 9-player Sit & Go fills its last seat and starts at once. The top three finishers place in the prizes.
