- GGPoker launches hybrid flip tournament which starts forced all-in and switches to a regular game once in the money.
- GGPoker has added three new ideas to this concept to morph it well beyond Full Tilt’s original concept.
- Players spend from one up to ten buy-ins to enter the tournament, increasing their stack size.
- The flip section is played as Pineapple, where players are dealt three cards and discard one before the flop.
- There is also a preflop “side bet” where players gain more chips if they are dealt certain three-card starting hands.
- Buy-ins range from 1 cent to $25, and guaranteed MTTs are scheduled every hour.
GGPoker has unveiled Flip & Go, a new type of MTT that takes the concept of “flip” tournaments and layers it with a string of interesting new ideas to create a unique new format.
At its core, Flip & Go is akin to Full Tilt Poker’s old “Flipout” tournament. Players are forced all in every hand until enough people bust out that the remainder are in the money. At that point, the tournament transitions to a regular, skill-based tournament.
GGPoker has taken the idea and added three extra layers onto the format: variable buy-ins; Pineapple during the flip stage; and even a sort of free side bet during the “flip” part of the game.
Tournaments are scheduled every hour with buy-ins starting at one cent—and to make things even more enticing, that tournament is rake free.
