The largest prize pool ever was announced by Bodoglife, with the main Texas hold em event giving away $300,000. The total for the eight day poker event will be over $650,000, over the course of the fourteen tournament event. The Bodog Poker event will begin Sunday, September 28th and continues through Sunday, October 5th. The well-known Texas Hold em tournament website will also feature six “Bounty” tournaments, where the contestants can win $109 in Texas Hold em credits for each Team Bodog poker player they eliminate from the poker tournament. The hottest poker players will be playing all conteders in the poker contest.

Team Bodog champ, Justin Bonomo, is indisputably excited about the poker championship. Throughout his poker career, the 23 year old has received around $1.4 million. He says that if you considered that the first Texas Hold em tournament was huge, you will definitely be astounded with this year’s Texas Hold em Tournament and the cash involved. He also challenges anyone that has the courage to knock him out of the poker tournament to step forward.

The first Bounty Tournament is going to be the first poker game in the championship on Sunday. Any poker player has the ability to buy-In right into this, and any of the other Texas Hold em games with cash. Or another choice is to win their way into the poker events through the satellites which are held every night during the poker contest week. Bodog will feature six bounty events and seven “Championship Events”, which will feature higher buy-ins and deeper stacks.

Bodog’s event will have thirteen tournaments which will lead up to the main Texas Hold em event on Sunday, October 5 at 4:00 p.m. E.S.T. This is the poker championship with a guaranteed $300,000 in prizes, regardless of the total number of players in the championship. All the poker players who want to enter the main tournament will have to pay $500 for the buy-in and in return will receive 10,000 in poker chips.

Texas Hold’em Poker-Cash Games Versus Tournament Play

Writing by admin on Friday, 28 of September , 2007 at 9:32 pm

Anyone familiar with the Texas Hold’em poker tournaments that take place all year round and are widely publicized on television and in other forms of media can very likely tell you all kinds of information about how to successfully play in these types of tournaments.  The play style of the Texas Hold’em poker tournament is quite well documented through these televised events, where announcers give the viewers a play-by-play of exactly what is going on and all the strategies involved in the assorted types of gameplay that are present on the viewers television screen.  With this ubiquitous display of Texas Hold’em poker tournament strategy, many players assume that they can sit down at a table and began to win right away.  This concept could not be further from the truth, as  play is far different from the strategies that are utilized in the cash game.  When playing in the professional Texas Hold’em poker tournament, there is a far different strategy at play than what the player might see in the same Texas Hold’em poker match, but in the form of a cash game.

 

The Texas Hold’em poker tournament player is focused on staying in the game until the bitter end, regardless of how many chips you finally end up with.  This concept is predicated on the idea that the winner receives a set amount, regardless of how many chips he crosses the finish line with in his possession.  Playing in Texas Hold’em poker tournament games requires strategies that include slow playing, bluffing and all manner of strategy that involves simply staying in the game to the final table.  By making it to the end, the poker tournament player is guaranteed a strong level of success.  By obeying the rules and strategies of this type of gameplay, the professional Texas Hold’em poker tournament player can ensure that they can compete on a regular basis in the tournament, with little chance of being knocked out unless they come across a more skilled player or are simply dealt a bad hand of cards.

 

While the professional Texas Hold’em poker tournament strategy is all well and good for its genre, the style of play involved in Texas Hold’em poker cash games can be a world apart, as the focus of the cash game is coming away from the table with as much money as possible.  In tournament play, getting to the end is all that matters.  But playing in cash games, ending the game with all the money is the one and only priority of the professional poker player.

 

Keeping this in mind, it is important for viewers of Texas Hold’em poker tournament games on television to understand the world of difference between the strategies involved in the two different types of gameplay.
