Hey guys

I was hoping someone could let me know what a freezeout tourny is? How is it ran? All I know is it is a hold'em game. I found it at the Argosy Casnio in IN.

Thanks
Boaz

All it means is that there are no rebuys. When you're out, you're out.

I believe it is a no add on, no re buy tournament.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

It's worth noting that rebuy tournaments become freezeouts once the rebuy period is over.

By definition, every tournament is a freezeout by the end: otherwise you'd never get down to just one winner, and you'd call it a ring game instead.

No addon and no rebuy. Also they balance the tables based on the number of people remaining as opposed to it being a shootout where the tables play to the last man standing and the table winners face off.

Yeah, the name doesn't really help much in terms of giving it away. It does happen to be my preference, though.

I like tournaments without rebuys and add ons. With add ons and rebuys all the people goes all in all the time without fear of death.

Entry is free but if you lose all chips, you can re-buy but schA the money.

Is rarely found in live tournaments today, although it is still present in the main event of the year, the wsop Main Event (world series of poker). In it, players do not have the option to repurchase and return to the game either on the same day or the next day. In general, this structure can lead to less impressive tournament rewards than a similar reentry tournament, but it raises the technical level of the game because elimination is a non-return path.

Freezout means no rebuys or addons, so the pot is what it is, it wont grow as the tourney goes on

Like others said before me, freezout is tournament without rebuys and addons - my favorite tournament. I disagree with constatation that pot is the same. Pot is raising when players raise
