Sit & Go
Same stack for all, rising blinds — the top places win
A Sit & Go is a poker tournament at one table that starts as soon as the seats are full — at Masa, bots take the empty ones. Everyone pays the same entry in Chips and starts with 1,500 tournament points; the blinds go up every level (every 3 minutes, faster at turbo and hyper tables) and antes come in later. Lose every point and you are out; the last player with points wins. With four to six players the top two share the pool, 65 % and 35 %.

Play Sit & Go online with friends
At Masa, Sit & Go is a game of its own right next to Texas Hold’em: pick it in the games list, open a table and share its code or link with your friends, or sit at a house table. Bots fill the empty chairs, and voice chat keeps the table talking.
How to play
- 1
The two players left of the button post the small and big blinds. Everyone gets two private hole cards.
- 2
Pre-flop betting: fold, call or raise. No-limit means you can bet all your chips at any time.
- 3
Three community cards (the flop) are dealt, then a fourth (the turn) and a fifth (the river), each followed by a round of betting.
- 4
At the showdown, the best five-card hand made from your two cards and the five on the table wins the pot.
- 5
Everyone starts with the same 1,500 tournament points (not your Chips). The blinds rise every level and antes come in later; a new level starts with the next hand.
- 6
Your entry is the table's stake, paid when the tournament starts; no rebuys. Out of points means out of the tournament.
- 7
Leave during the tournament and your stack is played on for you; a player who left is never paid a place. A seat at a running tournament is taken at the next one.
Frequently asked questions

Can I play Sit & Go online with friends?
Yes. Open a Sit & Go table and share its code or link. Empty seats fill with other players or bots, so a game always starts.
Is Sit & Go free to play?
