Learn how to play in a tournament — rules, strategies, and tips
A poker tournament begins with each player receiving a fixed amount of chips, and continues until only one player remains after all others have been eliminated. Strategic chip management and an understanding of blind level increases are essential.
Unlike cash games, tournaments call for a different kind of tension, endurance, and tactical approach.
Basic Rules
In a poker tournament, all players start with the same amount of tournament chips. Once a player loses all of their chips, they are eliminated from the tournament. The last remaining player is declared the winner.
In most cases, prizes are awarded to players who finish within a certain top percentage—this payout range is known as “In The Money” (ITM).
Join a tournament now, face intense competition, and rise as the one true champion who outlasts them all.
Adjust your playstyle according to blind levels
As blinds increase over time, you’ll often need to play more aggressively in the later stages of the tournament.
Manage your chips efficiently
Chips are your lifeline — focus on survival and smart decisions rather than reckless all-ins.
Play carefully during the bubble
Right before reaching the money (the “bubble”), tighter and more disciplined play can give you a significant edge.
Adapt your strategy based on stack size
When short-stacked, bold decisions may be necessary. With a deep stack, use your leverage to apply pressure and control the table.
