Tournaments:


Single Table Tournaments

Also known as "Sit Gos", these are a great way to learn poker because you are limiting any loss to the cost of the buy-in. After you buy-in for a set price (these can vary from $3 to $10,000), each player receives an equal amount of chips - the aim is to be the last .


Multi Table Tournaments

Multi Table Tournaments (MTTs) are generally seen as the ultimate poker challenge and can involve up to several thousand players taking place over many tables. They follow the same format as Sit Gos but the beauty is that you can buy-in for a small amount, and end up winning a huge prize!
