Guide to Poker Tournament Play
Many Poker rooms offer their own tournaments from low six figure amounts to multi-million dollar events. Some Poker rooms also offer Satellites.
Even you can win a seat at the World Series of Poker.
A Satellite is a small, inexpensive tournament where players can win their way to bigger and better tournaments.
Single Table Tournaments will usually have 10 players who have paid an entrance fee and put in a specified amount of money into the prize pool. The top three players in the Tournament receive a percentage of the total prize pool.
Multiple Table Tournaments allow any number of players to enter. Consequently, the prize pool can be very large. Even if you’re not even in the top 10 finishers you can take home some money.

Most Online Poker Rooms offer free tournaments play just like the money tournaments so you can get a hang of what it’s like to play in a tournament without having to lose any money. But you will learn how to hone those Hold’Em skills to compete with the pros. However, be aware though, that players in a free tournament are more likely to play much more reckless than they would if the had money on the line.
