 TYPES OF POKER TOURNAMENTS PART I


Guaranteed Prize Pool Tournaments 

A common technique a poker room will employ to promote its tournaments is to guarantee the size of the prize pool. This means that the poker room will ensure that the prize pool is at least the size of the guarantee by adding money to the prize pool if not enough players enter the tournament.

For example, suppose a poker room hosts a $200+$15 tournament with a $250k guaranteed prize pool. If 3,000 players enter this tournament, the guarantee does not matter. The prize pool would be $600k, which is well above the guarantee. The poker room does not need to add any money to the prize pool. In fact, it makes a sizeable profit off of the entrance fees.

However, suppose only 800 players enter the tournament. In this case, the prize pool would normally be only $160k. Since the poker room guaranteed the prize pool would be at least $250k, they would need to add $90k to the prize pool. This is  great for the players in this tournament because all the prizes are about 56% higher than they normally would be.

Most of the time, guaranteed prize pool tournaments attract enough players so that the poker room does not have to add any money to the prize pool. Every now and then, some of the online rooms set the guarantee so high that they do have to add money to the prize pool.

 Terms for winning a Cash Prize and *Payout Rules*  

*You must have at least $20 worth of accumulated prizes to get paid* 

-You need the same exchange value of pc points as the cash prize won:
1,000 pc-points = $10.00  Cash

- If you do not have enough, you'll be credited with pc-points instead - so next time you win - 
you'll be able to cash out in future contests. 

-You will need to advise us which payment method you would like us to use to pay you. 
Please go to the red section above and click "My Payment Method" and follow the instructions. 

-You only need to do this once (unless you later wish to change it). It may show as
 pending for 30 days.  If you have questions, please send PC Staff a private message for help.


Good Luck. Happy Gaming Always!

That all sounds like a very smart business strategy. And something that newbie players would jump at.... although they would also normally be the first ones out of the tournament.

This is something that I always look for when playing real money tournaments. Guaranteed tourneys that are "short" on entries. I look at it like FREE MONEY that is added to prize pool !!! And nothing is better than free stuff !!!
