The types of tournaments you must know to become the King of Poker

A few weeks ago we went to eat at my parents’ house. We had been there for about 5 minutes when I noticed that my father had not made an appearance to greet his beloved son, so I asked if he had gone to buy ice cream for dessert, which would have been a love gift. important, by the way.

But no, my mother told me that she was in the living room, addicted to “I don’t know what game”. So I went there and, indeed, there was Vidal engrossed with the computer playing poker… I asked him and he was very clear with me: “Give me a minute, I’m in the middle of a very important hand, I’m playing a freeroll” … A freeroll!! But hey, who are you and what have you done with my father!!

In short, I was left with a ‘poker face’, never better said, and when my father finished the aforementioned hand, he decided it was time to give his son a kiss, but not before telling me that “you should do an article in your ‘I work that’ on internet poker tournaments, which are very interesting, and not so much soccer, and soccer, and soccer…”

You already know how this is, your parents suggest a topic and you, even if you resist, you can’t stop thinking about it. At that time, my only short-term interest was my mother’s baked rice, but I must admit that the following Monday I told my boss about the possibility of writing an article about some types of Poker tournaments and MY IDEA seemed perfect to him.

Freerolls

This story was created with a freeroll tournament, so with a freeroll you will have to start this little review… We are talking about a perfect modality to start playing, since no financial amount is required to enter it and the participants who remain in the first places get cash prizes.

The rules, on the other hand, are the same as in any other tournament, so it is perfect for beginners. However, we must be careful with our strategy when playing. Let’s not forget that our rivals have not paid to enter the game either, so no matter how hard we play, there will always be someone who sees our play. Moral? Headlights can leave you in the dark…

Sit&Go Tournaments

We now enter the Sit&Go, one of the formats most celebrated by fans of online Poker. These are tournaments in which a limited number of players participate and which have several characteristics that make them very attractive to the average fan.

The good thing about these types of tournaments is that they are always available. All you have to do is wait for the table to fill up for the tournament to start. This type of tournament starts when the table is filled with the established number of players. There can be tables of three players, four, six… In addition, since you do not have to compete with a high number of participants, it is not necessary to sit for hours as in other types of options.

On the other hand, the blinds increase from time to time, which allows us to gain ease in case we want to make the jump to No Limit, and the fact that the pot is distributed among a significant number of players and that the entry to tournaments are cheap, makes Sit & Go’s the perfect modality for players with a limited bankroll.

Multi-Table Tournament (MTT)

Ready for a long-distance race? This type of tournament usually has nine players per table, so the games are longer and more demanding. Players are eliminated until only the final table remains. The players who are at this last table are the ones who will qualify for the final prize.

Be patient, control the game at all times, have an adequate degree of concentration, pay attention to the players at your table, not the ones with the most chips in the tournament… these are the keys that can lead you to success in a Multi- table.

Be careful, as the tournament progresses, the style of play will change, so versatility will be essential if you want to reach the final triumph, so if you are not willing to spend hours playing, or you are physically or mentally tired… better relax and leave the demonstration of your enormous potential for another day.

Knockout tournament

Put on your cowboy hat and prepare your Winchester because you are entering dangerous territory… Knockout tournaments, or Bounty Hunters offer, in addition to the jackpot, an extra amount for each participant that you eliminate during the game.

One of the objectives, then, is to become the fastest gunslinger on the table, so study your rivals, be prepared for any scenario and to face any contingency, because there are no friends here.

There are also Knockout tournaments in which rewards are only offered for eliminating a specific person. In our case, if you manage to eliminate Santi Cañizares.

One of the unwritten rules for this type of modality is to always try to maintain a fairly high number of chips. You never know when the hand will reach you that could make you the Sheriff of the city, but when it does, try to have a full magazine to take down anyone who dares to get in your way.
