Question by user: Guaranteed Tournaments in online poker?
I play with UltimateBet, and I want to enter a couple of tournaments tomorrow as I have bene doing fairly good. I noticed they have guaranteed tournaments like 2K or 5K, and they start sunday morning/afternoon, and there is no one signed up yet! Will 200 people or more suddenly sign up, or will it start regardless of how many people sign up? Do the casions just make up the difference and make their money in other ways?

Answer by Sam L
A guaranteed tournament means that the site will ensure a minimum size for the prize pool. The tournament will start regardless of how many people join. If the number of people multiplied by their contribution to the prize pool is less than the guarantee, then the site makes up the difference.

Answer by GamblingMaster
The ones hosted by fulltilt poker and pokerstars- the biggest poker sites. I doubt any other poker room can offer better tournaments.

Question by Spencer S: Are poker tournaments legal in California?
A bunch of my friends and I were thinking of hosting a poker tournament with a PS3 for the winner. We were going to charge a buy in and give away a % of the winnings to the winner and top players. Is this legal or not (for California)?

Originally I was thinking it was because people enter other tournaments, like sports or video games, where there is an entrance fee, and the winner takes a % of the pot. This would be no different, but poker is a gambling game.

Anyways, I don’t want to do anything illegal so hopefully someone knows the answer. I was planning on opening it up to the public because most of my friends don’t play poker as far as I know.

Question by Kitkat: Which poker sites are offering free satellites into poker tournaments?
I don’t have any money and would like to get some playing poker. Which sites are currently offering a free satellite for a poker tournament? I need to make ,000.00 fast.

Best answer:

Answer by dante
well, i dont know about fast, but on pokerstars.com, they are doing a buttload of freeroll tournaments. They are having one evreryhour. If you place in the top 50, then you get to registerinto a free sattelite. And a top 3 finish gets you like 1000 bucks, and a 10, 000 vegas trip with lodging and tourny seat paid for. If you are really confident in your pokerskills, just play som really ig money games online. Thats risky though. Hope this helps, and hopefully your prolem gets resolved.

Question by RussianMike: Does anyone know if there any “Double Or Nothing” poker tournaments in real casinos?
Does anyone know if there any “Double Or Nothing” poker tournaments in real casinos? I know that there are tournaments like that in on-line casinos, I am looking for offline casino where I can play tournament like that in USA or Canada.

Best answer:

Answer by Tyler
I assume you are talking double or nothing Sit N Gos and as far as I know you won’t find many of those in a casino. I love those tournaments too and was able to build a bankroll just playing those tournaments on PokerStars but I mostly play on Full Tilt now and they don’t have them but I am having positive results in the regular Sit N Gos.

Question by bigwheels1031: Who has the best poker freeroll tournaments?
I currently play freeroll no limit hold’em poker tournaments at Bodog but am looking for something different. Specifically I am looking for an earlier start time or better odds to place in the money. Here are the details of Bodog’s freeroll

Start time: 9:40 PM EST
starting stack: 1,000 chips
max 5,000 players
00
top 99 make the money

Best answer:

Answer by dave33197
That’s actually an excellent deal as online poker freerolls go. I like to compare freerolls by dividing the prize pool by the number of players. For this one, 5000 players/00 is 20 cents per player. So, it’s like getting a free entry into a tournament with a 20 cent buyin. By way of comparison, Pokerstars and Full Tilt routinely run freerolls that give away less than one cent per player!

Party Poker always used to have the best freerolls however. If you are lucky enough to live outside the U.S., check them out.

If you’re just looking for a change of pace (or different start times), check out http://www.nlop.com . Their freerolls are about as good as the ones you’re playing at Bodog.
