Full Tilt Poker Tournaments
|
Everyone wants to play tournaments, particularly with the explosion of
tournament poker in all formats: in brick-and-mortar card rooms, on
television, and online.
To address this need, the Team Full Tilt pros have put their heads together
and designed the best online tournament environment you'll find anywhere.
Our tournaments feature a wide variety of games, structures, and buy-ins
designed to suit all types of players with all sorts of bankrolls. Whether
you're looking to play a one-table Sit & Go (SNG) or a large multi-table
tournament (MTT), you don't have to travel any further than the Full Tilt
Poker Game Lobby to find the event you're looking for.
Begin by clicking one of three tournament tabs at the top of the screen:
Tournaments, Sit & Go, or Special. Each tab contains a subset of the
tournaments offered at Full Tilt Poker. The following steps will guide you
through the process of browsing, selecting, and entering the tournament of
your choice.
Turbo Sit & Gos and Multi-Tables
We've turned up the heat in our Sit & Gos and Multi-tables tournaments.
These new games are designed to keep the pressure on players,
increasing the blinds in half the time. That means, in the Sit & Gos, blinds
go up every three minutes instead of every six. In multi-table tournaments,
the blinds go up every five minutes instead of every ten. These games are
easy to find - just look for the games with the word (Turbo) next to them in
the game window.
Double Stack Tournaments
Do you want more action for your tournament dollar? Then, try our new
Double Stack Tournaments where we start you off with $3,000 of chips. Just
browse through the games in our Tournament window and read the
descriptions to find these Double Stack tourneys.
Four Player Heads-Up Shootout Sit & Go Tournaments
It's winner-takes-all in our new Heads-Up Shootout Sit & Go tournaments.
Four players are spilt into two heads-up matches, and each first-round
winner will square off at the final table. Whoever wins that match, scoops
the entire prize pool. Reserve your place early, because these games will
definitely fill up quickly.
Clicking the REGISTER button brings up the Tournament Buy-In dialog.
The buy-in amount will appear, along with your available balance. Click the
button next to the buy-in amount and then click OK. This returns you to the
tournament lobby.
After you have registered for a tournament, the REGISTER button changes
to an UNREGISTER button. Up until to the time the tournament starts, you
can click the UNREGISTER button to remove yourself from the tournament.
This will cancel your entry into the tournament and credit the amount of
your buy-in back to your account.
Once the tournament begins, a tournament table window will automatically
open with you seated at the table. Just as in other games, if you specified
Auto Center from the Options drop-down menu in the lobby, the table
rotates so that you are front and center. You can always right-click on any
position and specify Put Me Here if you want to move to that position.
When a tournament is in progress, you can also observe other tables. You
can click on a player's name, which will auto-select the table at which that
player is sitting, or choose a table from the list in the table window. After
performing one of these two actions, click on OBSERVE TABLE to watch
the action. You can also simply double-click on a player or a table in order
to open a table.
Most of the features at tournament tables are the same as at any other
table, but there are a few differences.
When the action begins in a blind game, the button is placed randomly at
one of the seats, and everyone is dealt in. If it is your turn to post a blind,
the software automatically posts the blind for you. Although the
AUTO-POST BLINDS or AUTO-POST ANTES checkbox appears, and is
checked, you cannot uncheck it. The checkbox is there only to remind you
that the software automatically posts a blind when it is your turn to do so.
When the limit changes, a notice appears and remains in place for a few
seconds, and a notice from the Tournament Director appears in the chat
window. The title bar always indicates the current betting limit. In Limit Hold
'em, that information is the actual limits. In Pot-Limit or No-Limit Hold 'em, it
is the size of the blinds. In Stud, it is the limits and the ante size.
If you need to leave your computer for any reason and do not want to get
timed out, click SIT OUT NEXT HAND. You will receive cards, but your hand
will automatically be folded to any bet, including your turn to open on the
first round. In a Stud game, if you have the low-card bring-in, the minimum
bet will be made for you, and then your hand will be folded to any bet.
When you get back, click DEAL ME IN to uncheck the SIT OUT NEXT HAND
checkbox, and you can again play your hand normally.
While at a table, you can click the TOURNEY INFO button in the upper left
corner of the window in order to see stack sizes, including the largest,
average, and smallest stacks. This information is particularly useful in a
multi-table tournament. The tourney info window also tells you your position
in the tournament, what the next level is (blinds or antes and bring-ins),
when that level will commence, and how long until the next break.
If you lose all your chips during a tournament, a dialog box appears and
informs you where you finished in the tournament. If you finished in the
money, the dialog also tells you how much you won.
and start playing in real, cash prize tournaments.
