Poker tournaments have become very popular over the last number of years. The increase in television coverage and the growth of online poker have attributed to its popularity. Poker tournaments appeal to so many people due to the fact that any player can get lucky and will have a shot at winning a life-changing amount of money from a fairly small investment.

In a tournament there is a buy-in, this is when all players enter a tournament for the same amount of money. In addition, the poker room or casino takes out an entry fee from all players entering the tournament. If the buy-in is $100 the house might take an extra $10, which means that the actual amount paid by the player is $110. If there are 100 players, the total prize pool will be 100 x $100 = $10,000. The payout structure depends on the tournament, but usually there is a prize for approximately every 10 players. In this case, it might be 30% for first place followed by 20%, 13%, 10%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, and 2% respectively, thus making it 10 prizes in total.

In the tournament all players start out with an equal amount of chips and, as it progresses, the stakes are typically raised every 15-60 minutes. The amount of chips players begin with, the stakes and the time periods determine whether it is a fast or slow tournament. Good players generally prefer slow tournaments where you start out with a lot of chips.

In tournaments you want to win the last hand, and basically couldn't care less about any hand before that.
