Thank you for the kind comments.

Hi Molecule,

By unfortunate & completely inadvertent chance, you have posted on a thread started by a Gent who was very popular here some years ago, but who, most sadly, passed away. However, you were not to know that.

As it happens, he was exceedingly helpful to everyone, so I'm sure he'd appreciate the question.

So, a "Freezeout" is a poker tournament where you just get your starting chips & nothing else - no rebuys, no add-on, no re-entry, nothing. Lose your chips & it's game over, as simple as that. There are good reasons for the modern versions - rebuys, re-entries etc - but poker in it's purest form means one bullet only, & when you are out, you are out. The better 'rolled & more wealthy players can have an advantage in Rebuys, but in a Freezeout, all we have is our own skill & luck, so, to a degree, it's the most level playing field we can have. Better players, as it happens, do best in either formats.
 
The WSOP Main Event - & the vast majority of WSOP Tournaments - are Freezeouts.
 
On Sky Poker, the biggest regular (weekly) scheduled Tournament is the Super Roller, which is also a freezeout.
 
Pot Limit Omaha Tournaments in the "Live" Arena were killed by the ability to multi-rebuy, & players would often go all-in blind every hand & take as many as 10 or 15 rebuys. That's not poker, that's just punting.
 
Hope that explains it for you.

PS - The Tournament you won on Sky Poker on March 12th was a Freezeout. Congrats.
