When it comes to online poker there are a number of different tournaments that you can play in. In this post I will be discussing the single table tournaments and giving you some information about them.
A single table tournament is an online poker tournament that has nine players, one table, and one goal. These single table tournaments are known as fill and go tournaments and you can join in these tournaments with buy-ins that are as low as just 10 cents. Beware though some of these tournaments can have some very serious buy-ins that can go as high as $500.

Single table tournaments use one table and nine players. There is no scheduled start time so as soon as nine players have joined the table the tournament will begin. The great thing about these tournaments is that there is no hanging around you just log in and join the next tournament. Once one single table tournament starts another one opens up for registration so there is always one to join when you log into your online gambling website.

The rules for the single table tournament is the same as most tournaments in that each player pays the buy-in fee and gets an equal number of chips that they can play with. The tournament starts and continues until one player has won all the chips on the table. The prize pool in some tournaments is often divided between the top three players. The winner takes 50% of the prize money, second place takes 30%, and third place takes 20%.

Online poker tournaments are fun and exciting and when the prize fund is split between the top three players it gives you a better chance at winning some cash and if you are playing in one of the high buy-in tournaments that could mean some serious money even if you do come in third place.

That’s it for the single table tournament. In tomorrow’s post we will take a look at the multi-table tournaments and what they have to offer.

Until next time,
