	What is a Sit In Go Poker Tournament?
	I do not know much about poker at all. I am usually watching TV when my Boy Friend ask me to sit monitor his online poker tournament if he has to run to the bathroom or some other emergency happens. I call to him what cards are dealt and he yells back to me either Bet, Check, or Fold. However sometimes when we have plans and I ask him how long will he be in the tournament, he tells me "Hun, it wont be long because this is a SIT IN GO poker tournament". Well I know something about poker just from watching and playing for him but I wish i knew the difference about the SIT IN GO poker Tournaments. Posted by - PokerGirlFriend
	The Real Name is SIT N GO Tournament
	Hello PokerGirlFriend, The real name of the tournament you are referring to is called a "SIT N GO". There are many times of multi player tournaments and one of the most common types are where a set amount of players sit down and then the tournament starts. If the Sit N Go tournament is a single table tournament them eight 9 or 10 players will register and the tournament starts when that single table is full. Some Sit N Go tournaments are more than one table and it takes longer to fill up. For the most part single table Sit N Go tournaments are the shortest and there is no set time when the tournament will start. The other large Multi Table Tournaments can be very large and last a very long time. Michelle T.
	What is a Bounty Tournament?
	I play online poker sometimes and on some sites I see they offer a Bounty Tournament. I am curious to how they work. Posted By - Poker Master

	Hello Poker Master A Bounty Tournament is a special tournament where some players have a Bounty. Meaning who ever knocks out these players will get an extra amount of Money. Usually the players with a Bounty on them are the Pros or Celebritys of Poker. But DoylesRoom is the most famous online poker site that offers Bounty Tournaments. But some Online Poker Tournaments are similar and called KO tournaments or Knock Out Tournaments. This means every player has a Bounty and every time you knock out any player you are awarded a set amount which is deducted from the Price Pool. FullTilt Poker is famous for holding the best KO Tournaments. Michelle T
	What does it mean to - Go Out On The BUBBLE?
	In one of the articles about a poker tournament, i saw that statement about... going out on the bubble in a poker tournament. What does it mean? posted by - LuckyU18

	Hi LuckyU18, The Bubble is a term used when all the players left are in the money. If there are 10 places paid in a tournament with 100 entries, then the person who goes out in 11th place goes out On The Bubble. Michelle T.
