There are essentially two different ways to play poker, both of which can be found at Blue Square Poker. These are Cash games and Tournaments.
Cash games are the original way in which poker was played, where you choose how much money you wish to sit down at a table with and can choose to stop playing whenever you feel like it. Cash games are defined by the table stakes and these range from games that are played for only a few cents per bet to hundreds of dollars.
Tournaments are more like a big knock out competition. All players pay a fixed entrance fee and receive the same number of starting chips. Except in rebuy tournaments once you lose all your chips you are out. Tournaments only end when all players (except the winner) have been eliminated.
