I´m out of game about two years, more or least. I start to reconect to the poker´s client and had the first shock: Partypoker can´t played in my country!! I look for this information whithout believeing in that posibility, but the live chat confirmed it. What a blow! But now, I open the 888poker client and I don´t find the S&G option! Is this type of game disapear too? What a rubbish!

SnG are slowly becoming extinct. I find that sad as well but they have become so reg infested that even players who are normally winning have a more difficult time being profitable. This in turn make people move away from those games, either because recreational players rarely win or because the winning players has a too small edge.
So if you're a crusher, you'll do good up to the $10 buy-in games. Any higher than that and the traffic is kinds slow.

I agree that it was difficult to make the S&G game profitable...but it was my game! I was making a progression, from MTTfreeroll to building a Bankroll to play whenever I wanted. And the S&G were essential. I'm so sorry for your loss!
------------ Yes CALICUL, the poker´s world that I knew is disapering!
------------ Thanks for the info dule-vu!

Unfortunately, not only in your country many gambling games are unavailable, in mine too. I have the impression that there are more and more bans from governments. However, I believe that if someone wants to play, they will do it anyway, in a more or less legal way. I'm not surprised that it came as a surprise to you after such a break. Well, everything is changing in the world of gambling too.

Every goverment want that they pax tax and licence to them, poker sites dont want it, especially on smaller markets and its easier for them to just close accounts!

I understand your frustration. Changes in online platforms can be disorienting. Have you checked if there's any official announcement or update regarding the disappearance of sit and go games?

Well I think they just cancelled the sit and go games because of low player traffic.

What is not profitable and ceases to be popular always ceases to exist, which is also the case with this type of game. This is the way of things, the world is changing, the gaming market is changing too, so it is worth keeping in mind that one day what was cool will no longer be so. You have to switch to another type of game, because those won't come back.

I also regret that sit and go, once so popular in all poker rooms, has almost disappeared... And I also regret the legal regulations in my country because it is literally a disaster. There used to be a paradise when it comes to online gambling and playing poker, casino, bookmaking, and now there are still problems... I liked playing sit and go at poker stars or other poker rooms, and now they either don't exist or if they exist it's not a huge amount, weird limits and a small number of players so the games launch very slowly. Instead of normal games, there is now a trend for quick lotto games, unfortunately this is the trend we have
