Poker Games
There are basically 2 kinds of poker games, the tourneys (tournaments) or the ring games, let me start with the latter. They are action games at the casinos, and yes, they are live contests. Gamblers buy in to join, and they cash out if done, and once a seat is vacated, somebody waiting at the wings could fill in. Some rules in this kind of poker games is solidly enforced, like, anybody could not remove any fraction of his chips on the table, when done, it should be a cashout and the gambler has to quit the game. If he wishes to rejoin, he should pay the buyin once more.
The tourneys are poker games of a more serious setup. It has a preset path of ending, when just one player is remaining. Gamblers also pay a buyin, and in return, he would be getting a sum of chips to gamble with. If one is out of chips, it's goodbye for him/her.
A subcategory of poker games under tourneys is the invitational kind. The winners of the satellites would be given invitations, another term for these tourneys is the freeroll.
One main difference between a tournament and a ring game concerns the antes and blinds. The blinds/antes of ring games are fixed, while those in tourneys, they rise as the contest moves on.Social Bookmarking
