There are lots of different types of poker tournaments that you will be able to play in online poker rooms. If you have never played in an online poker room before then you probably haven’t even heard of most of the tournament structures you can play online. I find tournaments to be great for new poker players because you can play in them without spending much money and you’ll be able to gain a lot of experience. Let’s take a look at the different types of tournaments you can play at starpoker.com now.

* The most common type of tournament played online is the sit and go tournament which varies in the amount of people who play. You can play sit and go tournaments with 2 players, 6 players, 9 players, 10 players, 18 players and many other options. Most poker rooms have these tournaments starting with buy-ins as low as $1. Most online poker players play sit and go tournaments and they are actually more popular then ring table games throughout the online poker rooms.

* Most online poker rooms offer freeroll tournaments which is where you can play in the event for free without the need to pay a buy-in plus you have the chance to win money. The money added to the prize pool is added by the poker room so it’s like a little gift from them to the players. These types of tournaments are great for new poker players who don’t have their own bankroll yet and would like to earn it without depositing their own money.

* Guaranteed prize pool tournaments are available in every poker room and these are where the poker room guarantees the prize pool to reach a certain amount and if it doesn’t then the poker room needs to pay whatever the prize pool is short to make it equal the guaranteed amount.

* Bounty poker tournaments are a newer type of poker tournament offered by some poker rooms only and it’s where you need to knock out players in order to win. It doesn’t matter what place you finish in, since you make money by knocking people out of the tournament. Some poker rooms will offer bounty tournaments where 50% of the buy-in is used for the bounty and 50% is used for the prize pool so if it’s this style of bounty tournament then it will matter what place you finish in.

* Satellite tournaments are offered by practically every online poker room and what they are is you pay a small amount to play in an event and if you win the event you move onto a much bigger event. An example would be when Chris Moneymaker turned his $30 odd dollar Poker Stars satellite tournament buy-in into a WSOP Main Event bracelet and millions.

You can play in lots of different tournaments online at pockerstar, but in order to find a poker room with the best selection you need to do a bit of research. You can usually find the tournament schedule listed on poker rooms so look for the poker rooms with the best selection. Typically the bigger online poker rooms will have the bigger selection of tournaments to play in because they can fill them up easier then the smaller poker rooms.
