Texas Hold'em's new initiative: Multi-Pool Poker (MPP) debuted in January

Post by Bookmaker »

Texas Hold'em is now innovative. Most game genres have basically not changed for hundreds of years. Surprisingly, in the last month, there were 2 new developments in Texas Hold'em. If they persist, they will make Texas Hold'em in 2013 and years to come even more interesting. ARIA Resort & Casino (Dawn Moon Resort &Casino) launched Multi Action Poker for cash games in December. Now, British Texas Hold'em pro Roberto Romanello has developed a new tournament model, the Multi Prizepool Poker.

Multi-Prize Pool Poker (MPP) As the name suggests, tournaments have more than one prize pool. In MPP tournaments, there are 3 different buy-ins. All Texas Hold'em players are eligible to compete for the prize pool created by the lowest buy-in (which we call the first tier), while players who pay higher buy-in can allocate the prize pool accumulated from the additional buy-in.

Thus, if a player who pays the Level 1 buy-in wins the entire tournament, he will only receive the championship prize from the Tier 1 prize pool. If a player in the second tier wins the championship, he can get the championship prize for both the first and second tier prize pools, as his buy-in includes the buy-in from both levels. If the third tier player wins, he can receive the championship prize money of the three tiers of the prize pool.

If the first Texas Hold'em player to buy Gold wins the tournament, the second and third tier winners will of course be rewarded. In this case, the player with the highest ranking in each class receives the prize money for the championship of that division. It doesn't matter if they win the entire tournament, as long as they finish ahead of other players in their division.

Let's look at an example:

In the tournament, the first place is won by the first level player. He wins the prize pool of the first level and only gets the prize money of this level. The second place was also won by the first division player, who naturally received the second place prize money of the first division prize pool. Then, if the third place is won by a second tier player, he will receive the third place prize of the first tier prize pool, as paying the second level buy-in makes him eligible to allocate the first level prize pool.

At the same time, he can also get the prize money for the second tier prize pool, as he is the best player in the division. By analogy, if the fourth place winner is a third tier player, he will receive the fourth place prize of the first tier prize pool, the second place prize of the second tier pool, and the first place prize of the third tier prize pool.

Let's take a look at how the prize pool is calculated:

1st Tier Player: 100 Second Tier Player: 40 Third Tier Player: 20


First Level Buy-in: $25; Prize pool: (1st tier player 100 + 2nd tier player 40 + third tier player 20) x $25 = $
4,000 2nd tier buy-in: $50; Prize Pool: (40 + 20) x $25 = $1,500
Tier 3 buy-in: $100; Prize Pool: 20 x $50 = $
1,000 Note: The prize pools of the second and third tiers calculate the number remaining after subtracting the buy-in from the previous level.

The main goal of multi-jackpot poker is to allow lower-level players and higher-level poker pros to participate in tournaments together, but without financial problems, and to create larger tournaments, because players who previously participated in tournament levels can be unified and participate in the same tournament.

Multi-Jackpot Poker will debut on 10 January at Dusk Till Dawn Club in Nottingham, UK, with a buy-in of £5,000 for the tournament.
