PokerStars Tournament Review

PokerStars offer great Sit n Go Tournaments at all buyin levels. The lowest buyin they do is 10cents. This tournament is a 360 multi seater tournament that starts all the players off with 1500 chips. The blinds go up every 5 minutes so you can quickly be short stacked if you get a bad beat early on in the tournament. As with all multi – seater tournaments Survival is the key to success for the first hour of play. During our Pokerstars Tournament review we were impressed by the great range of features on the tables that allow the players to chat, make notes on your opponents, see your own statistical information ie flop percentages and view your ranking in real time within the tournament. They also tell you how big a stack the chip leader has, what the average chip stack is and what the lowest chip stack is. This is really useful information when playing in a multi-table tournament. It allows you to keep your focus and have a real sense of how effective you have been. As the tournament moves on to the later stages you will have other players join your table or you are sometimes moved yourself to another table.

This type of tournament is a Turbo tournament and has a quick action timer so players must think a lot quicker about the type of game they play. An average is 15 seconds. Whilst we conducted our Pokerstars tournament review we noticed they also offer a time bank that depletes if you don’t make a playing decision in your allotted time which added more tension and quick thinking to our game!
