Bodog’s Beginner Tournaments
May 27, 2008By: Bodog runs daily “Beginner Tournaments” which pay out twice as many spots as normal tournament payout structures.
This structure gives you the opportunity to tune up and tweak your tournament game without putting a big dent in your online bankroll. Typical poker tournaments payout only the top 10-15% of the field. Bodog’s Beginner Tournament payout structure is geared for new players or cash game specialists who are inexperienced with tournament play and want to take shots at big payouts without bleeding their bankroll dry. You’ll finish in the money more frequently with up to twice as many players getting paid. The buy-ins for Beginner Tournaments are $4.40, $8.80 and $17.60 and run daily.
Bodog also offers Beginner Sit and Go tournaments. These are available 24/7 and start immediately after 10 players sit down and buy in to play. These Sit n Go’s payout half the field. Normal Sit n Go’s only payout 30% of the field.
For instance, in a ten player $8.80 Bodog Beginner Sit n Go the payouts are:
• 1st - $24
• 2nd - $20
• 3rd – $16
• 4th - $12
• 5th - $8
These Sit n Go’s are a very good way to build your online bankroll.
Bodog’s Beginner Sit n Go’s start at only $2.20 and run up to $35. Experienced players can also appreciate these payout structures. Finish in the top half of the field and get most of your original buy-in back.
Here’s the payout structure for a ten player $35 Bodog Beginner Sit n Go:
• 1st – $96
• 2nd – $80
• 3rd – $64
• 4th – $48
• 5th – $32
You can build your bankroll with less risk. Finishing in the top half of a ten player Sit n Go to get paid is a lot easier that finishing in the top three.
If you’re new to poker or new to tournaments, this is a great place to start. Experienced players can also take advantage of higher buy-in beginner Sit n Go’s to steadily build their online bankrolls.
Just download and open Bodog’s client. Go to the “Scheduled Tournaments” or “Sit and Go” tab and browse to Beginner Tournaments then, sit down and get started.
Good luck at the tables.
