Tournament Game Choices
We are proud to offer the best in tournament action, bringing you
the most comprehensive poker tournament schedule available online
today. We offer both Single- and Multi- table online poker
tournaments for all games and limits, including unique versions
featuring Private tourneys, Heads-up, and Special promotional
tournaments. All online poker tournament listings and schedules can
be viewed from the "Leagues/Tournament Info" button in the Main
Lobby.
Single-Table Online Poker Tournaments
All single-table tournaments for Texas Hold'em, Omaha High, and
Omaha Hi/Lo begin once two to ten players have registered. Seven
Card Stud tournaments begin with seven registered players. All
players start with an equal amount of chips, and play until one
player has won all the chips. The top three finishers receive
payouts.
Private Table Online Poker Tournaments
What are Private Tournaments? Private Tournaments are Single Table
tournaments where 2 - 10 players can play exclusively with each
other. To get started, access the TOURNAMENT REAL PLAY tab from the
main lobby.
Multi-Table Online Poker Tournaments
In a multi-table online poker tournament, players start with a fixed
number of chips. Players at numerous tables compete for one
another's chips as the blinds and/or antes increase incrementally.
As players are eliminated, tables are "broken," meaning players are
re-assigned with one another or to other tables, in order to keep
tables full. Eventually, the last few surviving players with chips
are assigned to the final table, where the winner is the individual
who wins all the chips from his or her opponents. Cash prizes are
awarded to top finishers based on the number of registered
tournament entries.
Satellites
A satellite is a smaller buy-in tournament, in which the prize is an
entry into a larger buy-in tournament. For example, if you won a $2
satellite tournament that had at least 10 entrants, your prize would
be a $20 entry into a $20 buy-in tournament. Instead of distributing
the $20 prize pool over the top 3 finishers as done in standard
tournament with 10 entrants, for a satellite, the $20 prize is
pooled and awarded to first place only. If 20 entrants, 2 $20
tournament buy-in entries would be awarded. Therefore, for this
example, for every 10 entrants, 1 $20 tournament buy-in fee is
awarded.
Free
Rolls
Don't miss out on our Free Roll tourneys. Free Rolls are simply
that, FREE and require no buy-in nor buy-in fee. Free Rolls reward
top finishers with real money cash and/or satellite entry to other
cash prize tournaments.
Entering a Multi-Table Online Poker Tournament
Before registering for one of our online poker tournaments, please
take a moment to look over the Tournament Rules page. To enter a
tournament, select the "Tournament Real Play" tab from the Main
Lobby. Select the type of online poker tournament, after select the
tournament game of your choice. You will see information about this
online poker tournament in the information box at the right. Under
the "Status" column, look for a tournament, which has a state of
"Registering". The particulars of the tournament (game, structure
and buy-in) are listed. Double-click on a tournament in
"Registering" state or click on the "Tournament Lobby" button to
open the Tournament Lobby. Click the "Register" button, and log in
if you have not already done so. The software will confirm your
registration. You may take your seat by selecting the "Take Your
Seat" button. Check the Tournament Lobby for registration and seat
times.
Note that for all online poker tournaments, players are all assigned
random seats to start the tournament. This is a counter measure
designed to prevent collusion, which is the collaboration of two or
more players working together. As is customary in poker tournaments,
seat changes are not allowed. The button in Texas Hold'em and Omaha
tournaments will be assigned to Seat 1.
As in a regular poker game, when it is your turn to act, you may
check, bet, raise, call, or fold (where applicable).
Online
Poker Tournament Lobby
At any point during the online poker tournament, players can check
the tournament lobby for information about the tournament's
progress. The lobby will show the current limit level for the
tournament, information about players' stack sizes, and the
breakdown of the prize pool.

Anyone can request a tournament history at any time
after the tournament's conclusion by going to the Main Lobby and
selecting "Tournament History" from the "Request" menu. Final online
poker tournament information will remain in the tournament lobby for
a while, usually a few hours after the tournament's conclusion.
Specific prize money breakdown will be shown after the registration
is closed. |
