Bodog Poker Tournaments - BodogLife Poker Tournaments

I’ve long been a fan of the always-excellent Bodog Poker Room. Great customer service, fast payouts and lots of inventive promotions have always kept me coming back for more. But I had no idea of the wide variety of tournaments offered by the card room, until I recently came across a detailed list on their website.

Prepare to be impressed.

BODOG POKER TOURNAMENT LIST

Freerolls

A multi-table tournament with no entry fee. Freerolls may offer cash prizes, but they also provide player points and entry in other Bodog tournaments. It’s suggested that you register early for freerolls, as many usually have a limited number of entrants.

Multi-Table Tournaments

All players begin a multi-table tournament with the same amount of chips. When a player loses all of their chips, they are eliminated from the tournament. As players fall, tables are eventually consolidated together until there’s only one table remaining. These poker players then go until one participant has all the chips and is declared the winner.

Bodog Poker Points Tournament

Bodog Poker Points are earned every time you play in a Bodog poker room. Special tournaments are offered which allow the players to buy-in using only Bodog Poker Points. In other cases, you can buy-in with either BPPs or real money.

Qualifiers

Also known as satellites, these tournaments allow you to win entry into larger events without having to pay the more expensive buy-in (for example, win a $10 qualifier, and you get to play in a $100 game). Many larger tournaments will have a number of smaller qualifiers available.

Multi-Table Sit and Go

These tournaments begin when all seats are filled at the table. Most Bodog tournaments of this type include two to five tables and accommodate between 18 and 45 players. In most cases, the blind levels for these events will increase every 10 minutes, but turbo versions of the game see a rise every five minutes.

Sit and Go

Similar in format to multi-table Sit and Go, except there are less players, and they are all seated at one table. Payouts generally go to the top three players, with 50%, 30% and 20% being paid out, respectively.

Sit & Go Turbo and Super Turbo

In this version of Sit & Go, blinds increase at double the speed (five minutes versus ten). In the Super Turbo version, blinds increase every three minutes.

Sit and Go - Short-Handed

Played with two to six players, this version either pays out two players in a six-handed game or just the top player in a two-player match. This is an ideal format for those who want to play poker, but don’t want to spend half the day doing so.

Re-Buy Tournament

Usually, a player is eliminated from a tournament when all their chips are gone. In the re-buy version, players can elect to purchase more chips if they run out or fall below a certain level. In most cases, only one rebuy is allowed during the game, although some tournaments do allow unlimited rebuys (which is certainly nice for the prize pool).

Add-ons may also be available, and this can increase your chip stack regardless of its size. Both add-ons and re-buys must usually be purchased during a designated part of the event (before the first break, for example).
