Poker – In recent times, there has been a growing series of tournament types which offer something a little different to players.

One such tournament that has emerged in recent times, is the bounty tournament. You can find this type of tournament at many online poker rooms, and it entails bonus payments being made for the elimination of players.

This can be done by either awarding a percentage of the prize pool for each player eliminated, or it can award a partial payment, with the remainder of a single buy in amount being put onto the bounty of the player who eliminated them. This means players left at the end of a tournament will have bigger prices on their heads. Sometimes you will find prizes are paid for positional placements also.

Other new online tournaments include the double or nothing games. These involve half of the field of players in an STT format being paid double their entrance fee, with the othe half that are eliminated obviously winning nothing. These new online tournament types give players a chance to experiment with different types of play and find the games that are best suited to them. Other new tournaments online include large scale series of poker tournaments akin to the WSOP, only on a smaller online scale. This gives those who play solely online poker, or are strong at that format, a chance for recognition and life changing wins within the confines of online play.
