Multi-Table Tournaments (MTTs) have become the “it” game of choice in the poker world. So many players have been able to build tiny starting bankrolls into huge sums of cash in short periods of time – all while risking very little money.
The cool thing about MTTs is that all players buy in for the same set price. As they bust out, one-by-one, players are moved around to balance out the remaining tables. This continues until the “final table” and one player wins all the chips in play.
Another great point about MTTs is that more than one player gets paid. Between 10% -15% of entrants in a tournament walk away with at least their initial buy-in. And, if you make it to the top, you'll be in for an even bigger payday – usually up to 30% of the prize pool!
PROS:
CONS:
MTTs are great for beginners and players interested in practising their poker tournament skills. The more often you make it deep, the better you’ll learn how to play all the different stages of a tournament (beginning, middle, bubble, in the money, final table, and heads-up). You'll also be able to use these skills in other parts of your game.
In a hurry to get rich? MTTs present the perfect opportunity to build a small poker bankroll very quickly – and with little risk. Once you hit a big one you can cash out or use some of your winnings to play bigger tournaments with even bigger prize pools.
You might even fancy a flutter at the cash tables, where your tournament skills can be made even better.
