Poker Tournament Types

LinesMaker Poker offers a wide variety of tournament formats to choose from. Learn more below about the tournament types we have on offer. Poker tournaments one of the most exciting games on the internet, they are elimination games played until one player wins all the chips. Prizes are distributed based on the number of entrants.

Monetary risk is much more controlled in tournaments than in regular cash ring games. After you buy-in to a tournament, you’re given with a stack of chips and your goal is then to attain every other player’s chips. When one player accumulates all the chips, the tournament is complete. Your time in the game ends however, when your stack is depleted and you bust out.

Multi-table Tournaments

A multi-table tournament is a tournament where more than one table is needed to accommodate the number of registered players. As players are eliminated, players will be moved randomly from one table to another in order to keep the number of players at each table as balanced as possible. Although we try to be fair and move players in relation to their position with the dealer button, a player may end up moving from their blinds and move to a blind position again.

Sit & Go

Sit & Go tournaments do not have a scheduled start time. They start as soon as the optimum number of registered players is reached. Once the prearranged number of players is reached each participant is notified that the tournament is about to start. Example: A No Limit Hold’em one table Sit & Go will start as soon as ten players are registered.

LinesMaker Poker Sit & Go’s are located under the Sit & Go tab within Tournaments. There are a range of single table events ranging from 6 to 10 players, with turbo and regular blind structures available.

Heads-Up

Heads-up is a contest between 2 players. Heads-up Shoot-out tournaments are a good way to improve your winning game, as you will end up facing one opponent most of the time to win any tournament. The rules are the same with Heads-up play except the player with the “dealer button” posts the small blind and will act first pre-flop then last for the remainder of the hand. The player who posts the big blind is always dealt first.

Shoot-out

Shoot-out tournaments have a limited number of players competing on different tables. In round 1, players compete until one is player left at each table with all the chips. In round 2 the winners from round 1 are combined at other tables and they again play until one player left with all the chips. A Shoot-out tournament can have between two (Heads-up) to ten players on each table competing over 1 or more rounds. The number of rounds and players per table varies and can be found in the tournament lobby.

Bounty

Bounty tournaments follow the multi table tournament format. Each player has a cash bounty on their head, if one player busts another out and the cash is theirs. These unique tournaments place 1/2 of the tourney buy-in into the main prize pool. The other 1/2 is put into a special bounty prize pool. For each player you knock out you’ll receive 1/2 of the tourney buy-in. For example, in a $10 buy-in tournament, each player you bust out will earn you $5. These tournaments will have the word ‘Bounty’ in their name.

Satellites

Satellite tournaments have a prize which is an entry to a larger tournament (with a greater buy-in amount). Many players win seats to our larger buy-in events via satellites.

Listed under the Satellite tab within Tournaments are satellites that can be played out in a variety of formats, including multi table, shoot out and sit & go. Players register in the same way the only difference is how the prize pool is paid out. For example, if you are joining a $10 satellite to our weekly $100,000 guaranteed event ($109 buy-in), one seat will be awarded for every $109 in the prize pool (or the buy-in of the event the satellite feeds). As registration and the prize pool builds, so the number of seats to be awarded likely to grow. Any leftover prize pool money that cannot quite make it to the value of a whole seat is paid out as cash prizes. The number of cash prizes awarded after seats are allotted will depend on the particular tournament – so players are asked to check the Tournament Lobby for full details!
