Lottery Sit & Gos – Where to Play
A mixture between tournament poker and gambling, the ‘Lottery Sit and Go’ format is popular with recreationals and regs alike – attracting net depositing players (often one-tabling them via mobile device) chasing the prizepool multiplier, and proving profitable for those who study 3-handed hyper turbo SNGs.
