The creators of the world’s first fast-folding online poker variant, Rush Poker – an innovation universally copied within the industry since – have done it again. Full Tilt Poker have come up with a revolutionary new type of poker tournament structure, which is focused on completely eradicating the pre-money bubble action from the equation. Indeed, many who would otherwise be decent tournament players simply cannot afford to spend hours on end toiling away before the money bubble, without any sort of guarantees that they’ll be rewarded in any way for their efforts, and there are indeed tournament players out there – especially in the low buy-in events – who randomly push all-in before the flop a couple of times in the beginning of an event to either double up or to bite the dust.
This is the idea on which Full Tilt’s new Flipout Tournaments have basically been built. During the first round of every Flipout tournament, everyone is put all-in, so basically, after the first round, those left standing are already all in the money.

While to some it may seem that the new format takes the skill element out of the game, turning the tournament into a sort of crapshoot, and while in Flipout Tournaments players won’t be able to exploit the bubble-related turbulence, they will still have plenty of opportunities to make their skills and their decisions count past the bubble. Indeed, instead of doing away with the skill factor, Flipout Tournaments have condensed it into a stretch of action where every decision does indeed count and where everyone can go for all the marbles instead of angling to sneak into the money somehow.
According to Full Tilt Poker’s Head of Marketing, Sarne Lightman, the new tournament format will suit time-strapped players well, landing them straight in the middle of the action which actually counts.
To celebrate the launching of the Flipout Tournaments, Full Tilt Poker are hosting the Flipout Festival, a tournament Series featuring 108 events, which kicks off on March 21. The Flipout Festival will also feature some $25k in added money. Once the Festival wraps up, the Flipout Tournaments will be added to the regular selection of poker tournaments at the site.
The bottom line: if you feel you can’t spare 3-4 hours playing back and forth before the money bubble in a regular tournament, Flipout Tournaments will definitely be for you.
