Texas Holdem - Tournaments

Playing Texas Holdem offers many benefits to you, but one of the best is the tournaments. Tournaments are played both on 'land' casinos and also online. Whatever you are prepared to spend, there is a table out there for you, whether its $1 or $1000. When you play a Texas Holdem tournament, all the players buy in with the same amount of money and get the same number of poker chips, so no one person has a better chance against the others in that respect. On occasion, you are able to re-buy in if you lose all your poker chips - re-buys also increase the size of the prize at the end!

When playing a Texas Holdem tournament, there are two blinds. There is no sit out option in a tournament, if you leave the poker table, then you will automatically post the blinds. The hand ranks remain the same in all Texas Holdem Games. To remind you of the ranking, in descending order: Royal Flush Straight Flush Four of a Kind Full House Flush, Straight Three of a Kind Two Pair One Pair High Card. It is definitely sensible to know the ranking fo the hands before entering a tournament or you will be confused when you play.
The aim is a tournament is to be the last player standing - with all the chips - and the prize money!
