What is Multi Prizepool Poker? MPP is a new tournament concept created by well known poker professional Roberto Romanello where different bankrolls are combined to play in a single tournament with multiple prizepools enabling increased guarantees to be offered.
How does MPP work? Instead of having separate tournaments at different buy-ins, with MPP there is just one tournament with a range of buy-ins creating multiple prizepools.
Any player entering an MPPevent will always play for the main prizepool which will be at the lowest buy in and always be prizepool 1. Any player who chooses to enter at the highest level will therefore automatically be entered into prizepool 1 and any additional prizepools.
Example
An MPP tournament is offered with 3 buy in levels i.e. £25 / £50 / £100 that will create 3 prizepools.
A player who chooses to buy in for the minimum £25 will play for prizepool 1 only, a player buying in for £50 will automatically be entered into prizepool 1 where they will have £25 invested but will also be entered into prizepool 2 with an additional investment of £25, players buying in for £100 will be entered into both the £25 prizepools and will also have £50 invested in prizepool 3.
All players will now play a single tournament that has 3 separate prizepools determined by buy in and number of runners in each..
If a player who bought in at prizepool 3 level for £100 wins they would get 1st prize from all 3 prizepools.
If a player who entered for £50 wins they would get 1st prize from prizepool 1and prizepool 2 while the highest finishing prizepool 3 player will win the 1st prize from prizepool 3.
If a player from prizepool 1wins they will just receive that 1st prize.
Additional places will be paid dependant on finishing positions of each player from their respective prizepools.
Example
If a player who entered prizepool 1 (i.e. £25 buy-in) wins they receive 1st place from just prizepool 1. If a prizepool 2 entry finishes 2nd they will receive 2nd place from prizepool 1 and 1st place from prizepool 2. If a prizepool 3 player then finishes 3rd they would receive 3rd place from prizepool 1, 2nd place from prizepool 2 and 1st place in prizepool 3, as shown below.
Some benefits of MPP over traditional poker events This concept allows all players regardless of bankroll to play in a single tournament with high guarantees creating huge prizepools instead of separate events with lower guarantees split between them.
The players in prizepool 1ill now have a substantially increased prizepool available.
For players choosing to buy in to the additional prizepools it will be possible to cash / win in their respective prizepools and be freerolling on prizepool 1.
