Full Tilt Tournament 'Cashout Poker' Allows Players To Take The Money And Run
November 5, 2009 9:28 amA new concept in tournament poker could revolutionise how players view tournaments after Mel Judah launched his innovative ‘Cashout Poker’ exclusively at FullTiltPoker. Whereas in the past a player’s only option was to get into the money first and then work their way up the payout structure, ‘Cashout Poker’ allows players to cash out their chips at any time during the course of a tournament.
The exciting new system works by setting up two prize pools divided into a cashout prize pool and a main prize pool. Any player wishing to cash out during a tournament will be payed from the cashout pool, which is an equivalent of half the value of their chips.
Whereas a full cashout will remove the player from the competition, players will also be allowed to consolidate by making partial Cashouts thus allowing them to continue in the tournament.
The new system was developed to provide a range of benefit for all types of online tournament players in that weak players with large stacks can now consolidate their gains, stronger players deep in an event can cashout early and experienced players will benefit from an ever decreasing field.
Although the concept of cashout tournament poker has been experimented with before, the lower percentage cashouts permitted never really caught the poker community’s imagination up until now.
If you would like to give Cashout Poker a try then you can join Full Tilt Poker with new players eligible for a new player bonus of 100% and up to $600 dollars on their first deposit using the Full Tilt Bonus Code.
