Types of Poker Tournament at Chocolate Poker

Freezeout Tournament

This is one of the most popular tournament types played today. Its most important characteristic is that once you run out of chips, the Freezeout tournament is over for you. That’s why most people play a tighter strategy than they normal do here, everybody wants to be in-the-money and get that poker payout.

Re-Buy Tournament

In a tournament of this type, when you’re running out of chips, it should be no cause for concern, because you can buy some more chips to add to your stack. The number of times you can do this is specified in the description of the particular Re-Buy tournament you’re playing in. Allowed number of rebuys ranges from one to unlimited times of re-buy. In most Re-Buy tournaments you can buy an Add-On at the end of the Re-Buy period, meaning you can buy a specified amount of chips that will be added to your chipstack. Because of all these opportunities, you may want to play looser here then you normal do.

Deep Stack Tournament

This is the tournament with a bigger than normal starting chipstack. Longer blind levels are another feature that makes the Deep Stack tournament type one of the most popular ones played today.

Turbo Tournament

Shallow stacks and quickly increasing blinds guarantee lots of action and thrills in the Turbo tournament, this is something for the person that like to play fast poker games.

Short Handed Tournament

Maximum number of players per table is not 10, like in most online poker tournaments, but fewer than that in a Short Handed tournament. This makes for a quicker game even if stack sizes and blind structure wouldn’t make you think so.

Freeroll Tournament

As its name suggest, there is no buy-ins for a poker Freeroll tournament (totally free tornaments for the players that participate).

Satellite Tournament

A Tournament where rather than the normal cash prizes, you can win entries to higher buy-in tournaments, to another Satellite tournament, or some of the most prestigious live events played in famous clubs around the world (WSOP, EPT, etc.).
