What is an “Online Free Poker Tournament”?

By: gad

For starters online of course this means you’re not sitting in a casino but in the comfort of your own home on your computer.

An online free poker tournament is a set number of seats which allows from 100-500 people to join. The free poker type is, as the name says, free to enter, no buy in is required. Others you’ll find do charge an entry fee (buy in) such tournaments tend to have larger cash prizes due to the inherent higher risk.

NoPayPoker for example offers totally free poker tournaments with upto $500 dollars in cash prizes and NO risk of loss as a result of their innovative advertiser supported free poker system.

Poker Tournaments, as opposed to simple single session poker games have placement payouts. So let’s say you and 130 other people join a $500 tournament. The prize money is paid on the top 40 places, paid according to the position finish in.

When an online poker tournament starts you are automatically sat at a table with 9 other people. Everyone is giving the same number of chips to start which is anywhere from $1200 or $3000.

Free Poker Tips for Online Tournaments

1) When the tournament starts I try and play a little more careful then I normally would though I do sometimes try and bluff a few wins.

2) Once you lose in a tournament there is no going back to the table. The blinds of the table go up every few minutes or number of hands. So I try and build up my stack when everyone else is waiting on the pocket pair or perfect flop for the 2 cards they are dealt.

3) Some people will only play the blind hands, that means unless they get high pocket pair they will fold until its there turn to post blinds. Even if you don’t have the perfect hand you may want to try and bluff a hand or two to help build your stack.

4) Blinds are constantly going up in a tournament which leads to the pressure of needing to build your stack - Sometimes you have to take a risk. Often the best way is to play by your gut, sometimes going all in and putting another player all in could turn out to be your lucky hand or final hand at the table.

5) Reaching the final table with a big stack of chips is always the poker players dream come true. If I have a large chip stack I will sometimes kick back and let the low stackers take each other out of the game unless I am giving good cards. Putting more pressure on a player is easier in a tournament then in regular poker tables as unless you win you cannot rebuy and come back to the tournament.
