 Tournament Types
Sit &
Go's
A "Sit & Go"
is a tournament that is not regularly scheduled, it simply begins when all
the seats are filled. You can find our Sit & Go's by simply clicking on
our Sit & Go tab in the main lobby. In our Sit & Go section
you can find 10 Seater, 6 Seater and Head's up Sit & Go's. Within
these sections you can find 2 kinds of games, Regular and Speed. During a
Regular Sit & Go the limits increase every 10 hands and you have 20
seconds to act, whereas the Speed games the limits increase every 5 hands and
you have 15 seconds to act!
The prize
distribution for our Sit & Go's is as follows:
Heads up - 1st
Place 100%
6 Seater - 1st
place 70% and 2nd Place 30%.
10 Seater - 1st
place 50%, 2nd place 30% and 3rd place 20%.
Freeze out:
This is the most popular type of tournament. All players start with the
same amount of chips and the game lasts until one player has won all
the chips. The limits, blinds, bring-ins and antes increase at every
level. Remaining players will be moved to different tables as tables
break down. At the end of the tournament, one player has won all the
chips and the whole prize pool will be split according to a
pre-determined structure. For example: If there are 100 players in a
tournament, the last 10 players will reach the ranking, whereby the
eighth will receive more money than the ninth, the seventh more than
the eighth and so on...
Fast Freezeout:
This kind of tournament is almost identical to the standard Freezeout;
the only difference is you must be quicker: the blind
levels increase quicker than the standard Freezeout tournament and you
also have less time to act.
Rebuy/Add-on:
This variety of tournament leads to a higher prize pool. In a typical
situation, you are able to Rebuy chips if your chip count is equal to
or less than your starting chip count in the first six levels of the
tournament. This may vary, depending upon the tournament. You are also
entitled to make a further purchase of the same amount of starting
chips during the first break no matter how many chips you already have,
this is called the 'add-on'. In Rebuy tournaments, players risk more
because they don't have to worry about being eliminated early on due to
the fact that they have the option of making a Rebuy.
Deepstack:
For those who enjoy digging away at other players' chips, this is
the tournament for you. Every player starts off with a larger amount
of chips than the standard tournaments - giving them the chance to
work their way through the other players' chips. These types of tournaments favor
the calculating, conservative and experienced player.
Shortstack:
Every player starts with 800 chips as opposed to 1500 in the standard
tournaments, so you might need to be a good bluffer to keep yourself in
the game, especially when the bubble is about to burst! Keep an eye on
your stack, the clock and the next level just to make it past that
bubble...
Satellite:
These are smaller tournaments wherein you can qualify
for a bigger tournament.
Freeroll:
These are tournaments offering a prize but cost nothing to enter. Sometimes these tournaments adhere to certain conditions.
For example, for new players only, but sometimes also for all players as well.
Freerolls are a good way to learn more about poker, and even win something!
