----------------------------------- Bower50 06.12.2006, 18:51 Freeze Out? ----------------------------------- Can someone tell me what a Freeze Out tournament is? ----------------------------------- PokerGuru 07.12.2006, 04:07 ----------------------------------- Dear Bower, I am very glad to help you with this. It's a big part of why I am here. A freezeout is simply an elimination tournament of any kind, where the last guy left after everybody else has been defeated is the winner. The term is not used much anymore, but it used to be used a lot. Hope this helps you, my good and loyal friend. Your PokerGuru ----------------------------------- rainbow1 07.12.2006, 17:53 ----------------------------------- <<<< loves freezeout games :) ----------------------------------- sunspun 10.12.2006, 18:28 ----------------------------------- I've probably just been up too long, but I'm afraid it's still not clear to me.... so what distinguishes a freezeout tournament from any other tournament? I THINK that's the way all the ones I play work, the way you described. Since I've been that "one guy left standing" at the end only a couple times, (out of many many many many freerolls!), I may have forgotten, but I think that sounds like the way they always go. Was that a confusing question? ;) thanks for sharing any further insight you may have! sunspun ----------------------------------- rainbow1 10.12.2006, 19:07 ----------------------------------- hope this helps :) A tournament format in which the loss of all of one's chips permanently eliminates a player from the tournament ----------------------------------- valeria 10.12.2006, 22:36 ----------------------------------- well in most tourneys they pay by the places you finish... like 5th place 4th place 3rd place etc. In a Freezeout the only one paid is the Winner. So last man standing gets all the cash.. no places paid. I hope this helps :) At least it is my understanding of a Freezeout ----------------------------------- rainbow1 10.12.2006, 23:07 ----------------------------------- i've played freezeouts where there is more than one winner...matter of fact most of them have more than one winner if it's forum games, that way more ppl can win some $$ to play in their buyins, freezeout basically means no rebuys :) a few forums have been playing rebuy freerolls, which i think is ridiculous :) ----------------------------------- valeria 11.12.2006, 02:59 ----------------------------------- Well that makes it totally confusing now ROFL ----------------------------------- rainbow1 11.12.2006, 14:56 ----------------------------------- ok plain & simple FREEZEOUT: when you are out you're out lol better !! :) XO ----------------------------------- PokerGuru 11.12.2006, 16:43 ----------------------------------- LOL! Now PCers know why it is not used much anymore! I hope none of you were TOO frustrated because I laughed out loud reading your thoughts as you struggled to get it figured out perfectly. Rest assured you did as good a job as anyone else ever has! Let's try looking at it this way: Just substitute the word "eliminating" for "freezing out" and you've got it. ANY kind of eliminating. You sure have become the kind of thinkers who don't overlook a single detail. Good job. You reminded me of a little group of college professors trying to define the difference between a short test and a long quiz. LOL Guru ----------------------------------- Bower50 11.12.2006, 17:02 ----------------------------------- I didn't think my question would get so many wheels turning,but I guess that's poker,there is no real simple answer to anything. ----------------------------------- rainbow1 11.12.2006, 17:29 ----------------------------------- ya the poker community always comes up with some crepe to keep everyone on it's toes, like say the new slang *donkey* now that has to be the most idiotic term i ever heard of lol.......just say idiot or dumb*ss, i mean for real, why all these silly terms lol..........the word freezeout was used early on in poker trnys online, now they've changed it to whatever else lol........if it can be found & you need an answer i can probably find it if you need anymore help with anything :) ----------------------------------- PokerGuru 11.12.2006, 19:36 ----------------------------------- Rainbow, we are in complete agreement. But then, every line of work or endeavor does seem to have its own jargon. PokerGuru ----------------------------------- rainbow1 11.12.2006, 20:19 ----------------------------------- yup ur right.......i look at it like this, they are your 5 cards playem the way u want to lol :) ----------------------------------- PokerGuru 12.12.2006, 10:51 ----------------------------------- I have no problem with that. My advice is only suggestions, which you are free to take to heart or take to trash can. They are all based on my own experience as a pro and all I have learned along the way. My only desire is for you to keep getting better and making more and more money as you do. I am very much aware that my advice is only one way of many ways to get better. Even if I personally believe it is the quickest way. LOL And I also hope with all my heart that your trip to making good money regularly is not as long and hard as mine was! Love you, Rainbow, and all my PCers! Your Guru ----------------------------------- rainbow1 12.12.2006, 14:39 ----------------------------------- I'M IN COMPLETE AGREEMENT WITH THAT, I'D LOVE TO BE WINNING MORE $$ ...... & I SURE HOPE THAT ALL OF YOU ARE DOING JUST THAT :) (((((((GURU))))))) XXOO ----------------------------------- PokerGuru 12.12.2006, 21:24 ----------------------------------- Rainbow ~ MUAHZZZZZ!
