Poker Tropical

There are many types of game you can find in a home poker game, but I would say the tournament style of play has become more popular. The only negative aspect of playing tournaments at a home game would be that once someone is eliminated, they have to sit out. There are of course ways around this, such as playing a rebuy tournament, or simply setting up a side game if you have enough chips spare.

The most original games of poker are generally recorded as being cash games, I suppose this is because it is much easier to set up a game when all you need is a deck of cards and a pocket full of money. Despite the game having its roots in cash games, I feel that the tournament is more synonomous with the game of poker. There is something about trying to prosper and survive by outwitting those around you, which is extremely enjoyable. The knowledge that one mistake could be your last in a no limit tournament, makes it all the more thrilling.

There are many different tournament types evolving online these days, with bounty tournaments, double or nothing tournaments, and all manner of new twists on the original poker tournament. Call me old fashioned, but none of the newer tournaments really appeal to me as much as the regular freezeout variety.

Tournaments are great to play in for many reasons, and it says a lot, that it is tournament play that decides world champions, and major events across the world. Of course deciding them with cash play would be impractical, but the whole feel of getting far into a freezeout tournament, is unlike any other type of poker game I feel.
