The action is as fast as it comes. As in any sit ‘n’ go tournament, play begins at the Flip and Go tourneys the minute the table fills with the required number of players. But the instant the action begins is the exact same moment when the action ends. Unlike other tournaments, Flip and Go tables are played for one hand only. And the winner takes all.

How can that be? One hand doesn’t allow a player to build a strategy based both on the strength of his cards and also on the knowledge he can gain by seeing how his opponents act, and react to the actions on the table. But one hand allows for something else, not seen in other types of tournaments. It adds an element of fast-paced chance. The luck of the deal on the very first (and only) hand will determine who the winner will be. And sometimes, as we all know, Lady Luck is on our side and deals us the best possible cards.

Flip and Go sit ‘n’ go tourneys were added to the wide variety of tournaments in the Titan Poker software earlier this week and already they are attracting a growing number of enthusiasts. Some players come to try out the new tournament to see what everyone else is talking about, while others have quickly become loyal fans, ready to face opponents for one hand of poker at all hours of the day and night.

Flip and Go sit ‘n’ go tournaments are available for 2, 4, 6, and 10 players, and at buy-ins ranging from $0.50 + $0.01 up to high roller tables with entries of $250 + $5. As many players have already noticed, the fees at the Flip and Go tables are drastically reduced. Almost all of the cash that leaves a player’s pocket when he joins these tournaments goes to the pot in the middle of the table.

Do you have Lady Luck on your side? Think you can sit down and hit the highest poker hand on the very first deal? If so, you’ll find a welcome home at the new Flip and Go tournaments.

During the last maintenance on January 12, a new and exciting tournament type has been added to the GGPoker Network (GGPN). The Flip & Go combines a flipout all-in shootout with a regular MTT, and features several special mechanics and bonuses. A new Spin & Gold tier has also been added, as well as improvements to GGCare history.

GGPN Introduces Flip & Go

A brand new tournament format has been introduced on the GGPN, called “Flip & Go”. It consists of two stages and will take considerably less time to crown a champion as compared to a regular MTT. When the new format was introduced, it was scheduled to take place once every hour. However, due to popular demand this has been changed to twice every hour.

Part One is the Flipout stage, which reduces the eight-handed tables to one winner thanks to the all-in shootout. All participants receive three cards and have to discard one within 30 seconds. For players to make a calculated decision, the cards of all players at the tables are shown.

Once everyone has discarded a card, the shootout will commence and the winner will have locked up a portion of the cash prize pool. However, more than one shootout hand may be needed in case of a tie or different stack sizes.

Four different buy-in levels are available:

• $0.05 ($50 guarantee)
• $0.50 ($500 guarantee)
• $3 ($1,000 guarantee)
• $20 ($2,500 guarantee)

Players can purchase between one and ten stacks to enter the tournament. Based on their cards in the first shootout stage they may receive bonus stacks of 1,000 chips:

• Three-card straight: 1 extra starting stack
• Three-card flush: 2 extra starting stacks
• Three of a kind: 3 extra starting stacks
• Three-card straight flush: 4 extra starting stacks

Once paid spots have been reached, the tournament will continue as a regular MTT and play down to a winner. Each level will last five minutes each, and the final table is set when nine players remain. The final table blind rollback to an average of at least 40 big blinds is enabled for Flip & Go.

Most Flip & Go tournaments will wrap up in under three hours, while regular MTT may take three times longer to determine a champion. As such, the new format is perfect for players craving fast-paced action and who don’t have a lot of time at their disposal.
