Three knockouts

To win a sit and go, you must knock out at least one opponent - your heads up opponent. It's possible, though not very likely, to win a sit and go with just that single knockout. More commonly, you'll have multiple knockouts on your path to victory. The more knockouts you have before you get to heads up, the more likely it is that you'll begin heads up play with a commanding lead. The bigger your lead when heads up begins, the better your chances of coming in first. Last night, in the second and final sit and go I played, I had two knockouts before heads up. I started heads up with an overwhelming chip lead of 5,205 to 795. It took me 18 more hands to come in first, but I got there :-)
