Big Money Double or Nothing Tournaments
Double or Nothing tournaments are proving very popular with online poker room players everywhere thanks to the simple fact that they give you a 50% chance (without taking skill into consideration) of doubling the size of your buy-in. Lots of poker sites offer Double or Nothing tournaments with small to medium buy-ins, but over at Mansion Poker they have exclusive Double or Nothing tournaments that give you the chance to win big money in a ridiculously short period of time.
The exclusive Double or Nothing tournaments at Mansion Poker involve just six players in the usual Sit n Go format, so as soon as six players are registered the big money action can proceed. The big money games come in two varieties – one costing $500+$30 and the other costing $1,000+$60.
In both cases the top three players win double the buy-in, so if you enter a $500+$30 game you would get $1,000 for finishing in the top three and if you enter a $1,000+$60 game you would get $2,000 for achieving the same result.
It is important to remember that when you play these exclusive Double or Nothing tournaments at Mansion Poker that there is no financial difference between finishing in third, second or third place. It therefore makes sense to play a tad more strategically the closer you get to the bubble. If that means laying down a good hand when two other players go all in and there are just four at the table, so be it.
Of course, that is merely a suggestion and not a hard-and-fast rule that should never be broken, but it is a good idea to keep your ego in check if playing conservatively would help you finish in the money. Better to be $500 or $1,000 richer after an hour of play than to take an unnecessary risk and finish in fourth place.
Online poker room players who are ready to jump straight into the big money Double or Nothing games can do so by visiting Mansion Poker today. Those of you who want to build up your bankroll a bit more first should also visit Mansion and take a look at the many other Sit n Go opportunities that are available. Have fun, play well and good luck!
