Time-based tournaments

Time-based tournaments give you added flexibility in a busy world. These tournaments are the same as 1-table tournaments, except that time-based tournaments end after a specified amount of time, rather than when one player has won all the chips.

Time-based tournaments are available in all poker variations as limit, no-limit, and pot-limit games.

The top three remaining players at the end of the specified time period are paid according to the normal STT payout percentages, and ties are split between the winners. You'll be offered an email summary of your tournament if you finished in the money.

To find time-based tournaments in the Lobby, visit the Sit & Go's menu and look under the 'HellKat' tab.

Tournament length

The tournaments listed in the Lobby all have a time limit such as five, 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes.

There are two versions of time-based tournaments: Ones with fixed finishing times, and ones without fixed finishing times. Tournaments with a randomized end time can finish 10% earlier than the published time. So, an hour-long game can finish up to six minutes early.

You can keep track of the game's progress using the timer in the bottom right-hand corner of the table window. When the timer reaches the last 10% of the game it will begin to blink. You'll have less time to make your next move in order to prevent stalling.

You can opt in to a Sit&Go Replay once your game has finished. This means you'll be taken to another time-based tournament table rather than to a regular Sit&Go table.

Hmm, would he have made first place if he won?

If that was the case, calling with A7s is actually +EV.

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 60.984% 59.39% 01.60% 4982713800 134016932.00 { A7s }
Hand 1: 39.016% 37.42% 01.60% 3139541936 134016932.00 { random }

.60984*50% > 30%

[Daleroxxu]

yeah he risks 30% of the prizepool to win an extra 20% of the prizepool
taking a 60/40 is break even for him, but if A7s vs random is 61:39 then it's a good call because in fact you can give villain 60% of the "ties" and hero 0% of the "ties"(each tie means villain comes 2nd and hero comes 4th) which changes the equity slightly so it's more 62:38
Villain actually called with A4o though, which is -ev even giving him 60% of the "ties"
Hand 0: 56.580% 54.34% 02.28% 5578351 233664.00 { A4o }
Hand 1: 43.420% 41.17% 02.28% 4226519 233664.00 { random }

edit: hopefully it makes sense now

Oh man, this is just too ridiculous to be true. But I guess party did it again, they created something stupid!

Oh well, it'll probably be fun to play these and spite call people so they won't finish in the money.

hehe, yeah, i think Party really did it this time.
Do you think the game is beatble to cover the rake?

I guess it could be if we can avoid the big multiway all-in at the end i.e. knocking out 5-6 players in 15 minutes or accumulate 6-7k chips to win it anyway enough times.

Actually the opposite is true, it is even more EV- being LAG at the beginning when you will have so much more actions in the last 2 minutes.

I plyed 2 and made money on both, I love them, people are sooooo bad!
