The structure of a single-table tournament is not unlike that of any other 10-person table game you have ever played. There exists both a small blind (SB) and a big blind (BB), along with a dealer button. Unlike table games, however, everyone sitting at the SNG table has a predetermined amount of chips (2,000 for all of PartyPoker’s tournaments).
You are unable to buy more chips if you lose some, and once you lose all of your chips you are out of the tournament. It continues until only one person remains. It’s important to understand the structure of these tournaments prior to playing them since it holds the key to your outcome. Here we examine the SNG format we’ll focus on: 10- player no-limit single-table tournaments.
