In addition to the variety of poker games and betting variations there are also different game formats and it’s important that you understand the differences. The two main formats of playing poker are cash games and tournament play.

Here are the main differences between cash games and poker tournament play: Cash games are played on one table. Tournaments can be played on one table but can also consist of multiple tables. In cash games players exchange money for chips, and there is usually a minimum and maximum buy-in amount, depending on the stakes.

Here are the main differences between cash games and poker tournament play:

Cash games are played on one table. Tournaments can be played on one table but can also consist of multiple tables.
In cash games players exchange money for chips, and there is usually a minimum and maximum buy-in amount, depending on the stakes. In tournaments, players buy-in for the same amount and are all usually given the same amount of tournament chips.
A player has the option to quit a cash game at anytime, and can then exchange any chips for cold, hard, cash. Tournaments end when there is one winner who has all the chips. Players are paid based on where they finished in the tournament.
In cash games the blinds stay the same for each hand, depending on the stakes (e.g. $1/$2). In tournaments the cost of the blinds escalates (e.g. increase every 15 mins).
If you lose your chips/money in a cash game then you may buy-in again and continue playing. If you lose all your chips in a tournament, you’re done and are out of the game.

Clearly there are some fundamental differences between cash games and tournament poker. Let’s take a look at each format in a bit more detail, starting with cash games.

Cash Games

This is the format where most players are first introduced to poker, many times played around the kitchen table. As the name implies it is played for cash not matchsticks, coupons, or any other medium other than cold, hard cash. This type game is played regularly all around the world in homes, clubs, lodges, casinos, cardrooms and on the internet.

Depending upon the stakes of the game there is normally a minimum buy in to get started. Many times in no limit play there is also a maximum buy in as well. This is actually a form of protection for the players. No-limit or pot-limit cash games generally require a buy-in of 20 to 100 big blinds. Therefore in a no-limit game with blinds of $1/$2, you can generally buy-in from as little as $40, but a standard buy-in would be $200.

Fixed limit tables usually require at least 10 times the small bet. Therefore a $2/$4 game would therefore have a minimum buy-in of $20. The buy-in amounts will vary from venue to venue – as will the stakes.

There are real money cash games to suit all budgets, particularly if you play online. In online poker the stakes are nearly always grouped into different levels such as micro stakes, low stakes, medium stakes, and high stakes. Here are typical groups you might expect to find at an online poker room:

No-Limit hold’em:

Micro ($0.01/$0.02 to $0.05/$0.10)
Low ($0.10/$0.25 to $0.50/$1.00)
Medium ($1/$2 to $4/$8)
High ($5/$10 +)

Fixed-limit hold’em:

Micro ($0.01/$0.02 to $0.25/$0.50)
Low ($0.50/$1.00 to $3/$6)
Medium ($5/$10 to $10/$20)
High ($15/$30 +)

This is just a fuzzy guide to illustrate the range of stakes available when you play online – there’s literally something for everyone. When you play live, such as in a casino, it’s highly unlikely you’ll find stakes as low as the ones listed here. In most casinos the lowest stakes are usually $1/$2 for no-limit and $2/$4 for fixed-limit – although you might find lower stake games in some venues, and in home games people often play for pennies.

Full Ring vs. 6-Max Cash Games

Cash games are often called “ring games” and a table that seats 9 or 10 players is known as a “full ring” game. With the advent of online poker short-handed play has become very popular. Short-handed means the tables are usually limited to a maximum of six players. As such, short-handed cash games are normally referred to as “6-max”. These games have developed a large fan base because they are action packed. Players get to play more hands than in a full game and play their hands more aggressively. This is due primarily to the fact that strategically one cannot just sit back and wait for premium cards as the blinds come around much more quickly.

Even though the size of the table is the only difference between the two formats, they play very differently. These differences are highlighted in our separate poker lesson on full-ring vs. 6-max cash games, but as a beginner you’re much better off starting out by playing full ring games before trying your hand at the more aggressive 6-max games.

Tournament Poker

In a standard tournament format all players enter for the same amount of money which also carries a fee which the entity running the tournament keeps. As an example, “Casino Pokerology” might offer a no limit hold’em tournament that has a $50 entry cost plus a $5 fee to play. Once you post the $55, $50 of which goes into the prize pool and the other $5 is the fee to run the tournament, you may get $2,000 in non negotiable tournament chips. The blinds might start at $10 and $20 and escalate every twenty minutes. The continual escalation of the blinds forces the players to “gamble” more versus just playing conservatively and waiting for premium cards. This format is how the attrition of players whittles the number of starting players down to the eventual winners.

The number of winners is normally dependent on the number of starting players but typically in a tournament with a $50 entry fee, if there were 100 starting players providing a prize pool of $5,000 it may pay the last nine or ten players at the final table. First place might be in the neighbourhood of 30 to 50 percent of the total prize pool, with less for second, third, forth, and so on. This example is meant to demonstrate how a tournament can work, not to state as fact how they all work. The number of your starting chips, beginning blind levels, the length of time at each blind level and the prize pool distribution is at the discretion of the tournament organizer and can vary significantly. Always make sure you understand just what is being offered for your tournament dollar.

Remember that the values of the chips used in a tournament are only relevant to the tournament itself. You may have the more chips than anyone else after an hour, but you can’t walk away and exchange the chips for real money. The chips only related to your position in the tournament, and to get paid you must finish in the positions that get paid. For example, if a tournament plays the top 10 players out of 100, then you’ll get nothing for finishing 11th-100th. You might have the most chips with 50 players left, but it doesn’t count for anything unless you make the top 10.

In addition to the standard tournament format explained above wherein for one cost you’re in it and several players, such as ten, share in the prize pool there are a few other ways tournaments can work. We’ll highlight several formats.

Freeze Outs

A freeze out refers to any tournament format in which you cannot rebuy or add to your chip stack – aside from winning pots. The cost of entry and the amount of starting chips is set in advance as explained above. If you lose all your chips, you’re out. Freeze outs are the antithesis of rebuy tournaments, which are explained next.

Rebuy Tournaments

Under the list of how tournaments are different from cash games the first difference listed was – if you lose all of your chips, you’re done and are out of the tournament. Well, not so in a rebuy tournament. This tournament format allows you to buy-in again if you lose all your chips. Depending on the format, you may be able to rebuy as many times as you wish, normally within a predetermined time limit, such as an hour or two. Many of these tournaments also offer what is termed an “add-on” which is just the ability to purchase additional chips, until a certain point such as before the first break. This format changes much of the normal strategy of tournament play as the participants are not as fearful of being busted out since they can rebuy. These players play significantly looser until the rebuy period expires. Once the rebuy period is over the tournament becomes a freeze out with no further chips added to play.

Satellites

Using our WSOP reference once again, a one table satellite tournament to qualify for the $10,000 buy-in championship would require each of the ten players to post $1,000 (don’t forget the fee of $100) with the winner gaining free entry into the World Championship. “Free entry” actually means he would have put up $1,100, won $9,000, and gained a seat into the tournament for a total cost of $1,100.

Satellites offer a potentially cheap way of gaining entry into high buy-in tournaments. There are also satellites which win you a seat into another satellite, and so on. There are some that start with a free entry (referred to as “freerolls”), or just a couple of dollars. If you play online poker you will notice complete sections for satellite tournaments, for all sorts of events, such as the WSOP, WPT, and other special events and high buy-in tournaments.

Sit & Go Tournaments

This type of tournament was started by the online poker sites but has now spread into the bricks and mortar cardrooms. They are played both one table as well as multiple tables. The name comes from the fact that to sign up all you need do is sit down. When the players in the tournament have all sat down – it “goes”. As an example, you enter an online poker site and select a one table sit & go (SnG), pay your entry fee, sit down and wait. The tournament starts when the last player who will complete the table sits down. These type of tournaments on the internet have become extremely popular, so much so that sometimes you need to be very “quick to click” in order to get in before the table fills up. One table sit & goes normally pay the top three finishers.

Conclusion

There are many forms this intriguing game of poker can take. Some people prefer the challenge of playing cash games, and others prefer the buzz of playing in poker tournaments. It really comes down to personal preference, so you should decide for yourself if you prefer cash games or poker tournaments.

Each format has it’s own unique strategies and we’ll cover these in much more detail in the poker lessons throughout the site. Many of the poker lessons on Pokerology are applicable to both formats but we also have separate lessons devoted to cash games and tournament strategies. By following all the lessons here on Pokerology you should become skilled in both disciplines.

General house rules

All players who want to sign up for any cash game may be required to register for a PokerStars Live account. Further details will be provided on site.
Players may leave the game at any time and bet in any way they choose, within game rules.
A player who has remained away from the table for longer than 30 minutes (or has their table closed down while they are away) will have their chips removed from play and stored by the Floor staff if there is a waiting list for their game. The chips will be counted by the floor person and one other staff member, signed for and stored.
Decision-making procedures:
1. PokerStars Live management reserves the right to make decisions in the best interest of the game and in the spirit of fairness to all players, even if a technical interpretation of the rules may indicate a contrary decision.
2. All decisions made by the floor person are made in the interest of fair play and are final.
3. If an irregularity within the game occurs it must be called to the attention of staff immediately. Any objection must be made before the deck is shuffled for the next hand.
Players are responsible for protecting their own cards at all times. This can be done by keeping a chip, card protector or their hands on their cards. The dealer will assume that any unprotected, abandoned, or discarded hand has been folded. This holds even if a hand is face up, and regardless of whether a player is facing action. Players who fail to take reasonable measures to protect their hand will have no redress if their hand is removed by the dealer. Contact of an unprotected hand with a discarded card will make the hand dead if there is any doubt as to which cards belong to the hand. Dealers can assist in reading hands if required, but it still remains the responsibility of the player to protect the cards.
Players may only speak English while a hand is in progress. If an active player speaks any other language during the play of a hand, his hole cards may be turned up for all to see. If an inactive player speaks in a language other than English while a hand is in progress, a floor person may enforce a penalty.
Players should not splash the pot or generally make any gaming actions designed to hide their intended action.
Deal-making is not allowed and could result in penalties being enforced.
1. This includes making chops, ‘taking money back’, or otherwise altering the money entering the pot, or won, in an individual hand.
Players may chop the blinds if that situation is applicable.
Rabbit Hunting – In cases where hands are concluded prior to the last card being dealt, the next card to be dealt will not be exposed under any circumstances. The practice of revealing cards that would have been dealt is referred to as ‘rabbit hunting’ and is prohibited.
Playing over is allowed if:
1. The person wishing to play over is first on the waiting list.
2. The player who is being played over has up to one hour to re-join the game or his chips will be picked up and his seat will go to the next player on the waiting list.
No person(s) may play another player’s chips.
Players are not permitted to give their seat to another without a floor person’s prior approval.
PokerStars Live uses the following ‘Table Stakes’ rules:
1. Only chips or cash on the table at the start of a deal will be in play for that pot, except where specified in rule 31.c.
2. All chips and cash must remain on the table until a player quits the game, except to pay for casino products and services. Players may not pass any chips, except for an ante in stud games, or one ‘lucky chip’ in all other games (smallest denomination for the game only).
3. Chips that are in transit from the cashier by a house runner are treated as being in play, provided the house has given its consent and the other players have been informed. If a player passes chips to a player who is waiting for ordered chips, the amount being passed will play behind.
4. A player buying chips is required to declare the amount being bought. If a player requests a hand and looks at it without specifying the amount being played, he/she may not play more than the amount of the minimum buy-in for that game.
In the event of a split pot with an odd chip, large chips will always be split down to the smallest denomination for the game. If there is still an odd chip, the chip goes to:
1. In Hold’em and Omaha, the hand closest to button, clockwise.
2. In Stud, the hand with the highest card, using suit rankings to break a tie (spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs).
3. In High/Low games, the high hand.
When players draw cards (for the button in new games, for available seats when a game breaks, etc), and tie in rank, ties will be broken using suit rankings: spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs.
A player, who is called from the waiting list, must present themselves within five minutes, if not, the next player will be given the open seat and the “no show” player will be posted at the end of the waiting list.

Rules of play - The buy-in

A new player must make a full buy-in for that particular game, usually 50 times the Big Blind.
An existing player is allowed to re-buy once for half of a full buy-in.
If the limit is increased in an existing game, thereby increasing the buy-in, existing players are grandfathered; they may play the chips they have on the table at that time. Thereafter, the increased buy-in applies to all players.
A player forced to transfer from a must-move game to a game of the same limit may continue to play the same amount of money, even if it is less than the minimum buy-in. A player who voluntarily changes games or comes from a broken game must buy-in for at least the minimum buy-in amount.

Rules of play - Blinds

New players must post the amount of the big blind before being dealt in. They may post from any position, wait for the big blind, buy the button, or straddle. Should the blinds pass, they will get a missed blind button and be required to wait for the big blind, or post both blinds, or buy the button.
Players may ‘buy the button’. A new player or a player with a missed blind button may enter the game in the small blind position by posting both blinds. The big blind amount plays. On that hand, the dealer button is on the player’s immediate right, and no one else posts blinds. On the subsequent hand, the player who ‘bought the button’ gets the dealer button and the blinds resume as usual.
All blinds are ‘live’. The money plays, and the players posting blinds have the option to raise before the flop (unless the betting is already capped).
Players may ‘straddle’ in the games when they are one position to the left of the big blind. All straddles are double the big blind and are live. Only one straddle per hand is permitted.
A player who misses both blinds must post an amount equal to the sum of the blinds. The excess amount, over the big blind, becomes dead money and is not part of the bet. An owed small blind will be dead money. The only exception is if a player chooses to come in on a straddle. In this situation, they will not be required to post the small blind. Buying the button is allowed.
Missing the blinds in the first round of a new game is exactly the same as missing the blinds in a pre-existing game.
‘Running it twice’ is allowed on all tables, if all involved players agree.
1. Should only the players involved in a side pot wish to run it twice, they may do so for the side pot only (the main pot will always go to the winner of the first board).

Seating and table changes

In all new games, players will draw for the dealer button.
When a new game starts, players on the waiting list will be seated first. Players may lock up seats on a first come, first served basis as they arrive at the table.
Seat changes within a game:
1. A player who moves away from the blinds (clockwise) must wait the number of hands corresponding to the number of positions moved, or post a big blind, before being dealt in again.
2. A player who ‘deals off’ (by playing a hand on the dealer button and then changing seats) can move and wait for the blinds to pass the new seat once and re-enter the game behind the button without posting blinds.
3. If a player with a missed blind button changes seats, they must post both blinds, or the player must wait for the big blind.
4. If two players agree to switch seats, 48.a, 48.b, and 48.c apply to both players.
5. If an open seat is wanted by more than one player and they cannot resolve the issue, priority will go to whoever has been in the game longest. If that cannot be determined, priority will go to whoever asked first. If that cannot be determined, the players will draw cards for the seat.
6. When a seat opens in a game with a waiting list, the floor person will ask the seated players if anyone wants the seat before locking it up for the new player. Once chips are placed on the table, the new player cannot be compelled to move to another seat.
A player moving to a different game must have the full buy-in for that game unless he/she is from a broken game and cannot get a seat at the same limit. The game limit must be equal to or lower than the broken game to enter with a short buy-in.
If a player is forced to change tables for whatever reason, it is not required that they post the blinds and instead can choose to wait for the button to pass.
Players who quit a game and return to the same game in less than three hours must return with at least the same value in chips as when they quit, but not less than the minimum buy-in.
In fairness to all players, if a player in a short game (fewer than five players) requests a seat in another game, the floor person may ask if all players desire to draw cards for the available seat(s).
In a game with five or less players, a player who causes a game to break by refusing to ante or take the blinds will not be allowed to draw for a seat in another game.
Third Man Walking - The third man walking will be any player who gets up from their seat in a cash game after two other players are already away from the table. This player will be required to return to their seat within one orbit or else their seat in the game will be forfeited if there is a waiting list for the game.
When a game breaks and there are:
1. insufficient open seats in other games of the same limit to accommodate all players, the players will draw cards for the open seat(s). The floor person will draw cards for absent players who have no missed-blind buttons or hold buttons.
2. sufficient open seats in other games of the same limit to accommodate all players, all missed blind buttons accumulated by lobbying players in the broken game will be transferred to the existing game.
All table changes must be pre-approved by a floor person.
Table changes and game changes must be made immediately. This includes players not playing all the remaining hands until the big blind comes around. However, players in the blinds may finish playing the blinds and their button.

Breaks

Estadisticas De Poker Cash No Deposit

As a result of players being able to leave a game at any time it is in the best interest of all players to have specific guidelines for players who have taken a break. They are:

Estadisticas De Poker Cash Poker Games

Players may leave for up to 30 minutes. If a player is absent for longer than that, the player’s chips will be picked up immediately in a full game with a waiting list. In games that are not full, this may result in the away player’s chips being picked up if a seated player requests the away player’s seat or if the game fills up.
Repeatedly leaving the game may result in a player’s chips being picked up before said time limit is met.
PokerStars Live Cash Games use the ‘third man walking’ rule. If two players are already away from the table, the third player to leave will have only one orbit of the table to return or risk being picked up and replaced by the next available player on the waiting list. Dealers are instructed to notify the player and the floor staff when a third player walks.
