Tournaments

Tournaments are what attract most players to online poker with the opportunity to win huge prizes from a relatively small buy-in amount. At Paradise you can play a wide variety of tournaments, including exclusives such as Paradise RUSH and enjoy the best tournament action online!

Multi Table Tournaments (MTT)

All players in a MTT begin with the same number of chips with each player paying the same amount to enter. Several tables will be playing at the same time within the tournament, as each player vies for the others' chips in an attempt to eliminate the competition. The blinds increase incrementally as the tournament progresses. As players are eliminated tables are "broken". The software will automatically re-assign players to other tables to maintain balance, as well as full tables whenever possible. The tournament will culminate in a final table with the last remaining players. The overall tournament winner is the player that wins all the chips! The top tournament finishers are awarded cash prizes, dependent on the number of entries.

Single Table Tournaments (STT)

STT's work in the same way as MTT's except that there is only one table to begin with - consisting of either 2, 5 or 10 players. With a maximum of 10 players taking part, the running time is usually less than an hour for a 10 player tourney and even less for 5 or 2 players. If time is short then STT's are advisable. STT's have no scheduled start time but begin once the table has filled up. The payout structure for ParadisePoker STT's is as follows :

• 10 Player : 1st - 50%, 2nd - 30%, 3rd - 20%
• 5 Player : 1st - 70%, 2nd - 30%
• 2 Player : 1st - 100%

Freeroll Tournaments

Freeroll tournaments are a fantastic way for beginners to learn the poker ropes. Players can register for these tournaments for free and then practise with the chance of winning real money. ParadisePoker give away thousands of dollars in freeroll's every day! Freeroll's tend to attract large numbers of players, often several thousand and so can take several hours to complete. Once you've mastered the basics, why not beat the crowds and move on to one of our many low buy-in tourneys. Click here to see the full ParadisePoker freeroll schedule.

Re-buy Tournaments

In normal (freezeout) tournament when you lose all your chips you are eliminated from the tournament. However in a re-buy tournament you have the option to buy back in any time you bust out or if when your chip stacks falls below the original size. The re-buy period usually lasts until the first hour at which time all players (regardless of their stack size) can also purchase an add on. Both re-buys and add-ons cost the same as the original buy-in amount and will get you the same number of chips. Re-buys are a great way of getting yourself back into the game after a bad beat but remember to manage your bank roll. All the extra money from re-buys goes straight into the pot.

Satellite Tournaments

Satellites allow you to win millions of dollars with very little investment. In a satellite you pay a buy-in as normal but instead of winning cash you win entry into a tournament with a higher buy-in. For example you might enter a $1 satellite where the winner wins entry into a second tournament that costs $25 to enter - there will normally be one player who progresses for every $25 in the pot in such a satellite. Often live events such as the World Series of Poker cost thousands of dollars to buy-in to but ParadisePoker offer satellites to these events from as little as $1.

Turbo Tournaments

Turbo tournaments are for those in a rush or who simply don't have the time to sit through a regular MTT but still want the big payouts. With a fast blind structure of 5 minutes and a starting stack of just 1000 chips, there is little time to wait for that premium hand.

Deep Stack Tournaments

Deep stack tournaments are the opposite to turbo in that you get a massive 2500 chips in your starting stack. The blinds begin at 12 minute levels but get gradually longer as the tournament progresses, favouring the patient experienced poker player.

Guaranteed Tournaments

In a guaranteed tournament, ParadisePoker guarantee a particular prize pool no matter how many players register for the tournament. For example in a $25 buy-in there should be 400 players to make a prize pool of a $10,000 but with a $10,000 guaranteed tournament, ParadisePoker will pay out $10,000 even if only 200 players register. Of course if more than 400 register then the total prize will be greater than 400. Guaranteed tournaments can therefore offer great value if not enough players register.

Lotto Frenzy Tournaments

ParadisePoker are proud to introduce our brand new lotto frenzy tournaments. These special fun tournaments have 1 minute blinds with a starting stack of only 100 chips. Pick a hand and go all in. Pure luck.

Heads up Tournaments

To win any tournament you must first be able to win heads up. Heads up is when there are only two players which may mean the last two players of an MTT or simply two players in a heads up game. With only two players the fast is pace is hectic and you need to be aggressive to be in with a chance.
