Having at last got around to joining my local casino, I am looking at the various types of tournaments that they hold.
One of them that caught my eye was a .....

Triple Chance Freezeout.  Just wondered exactly what this was.  Can any of the good folk on here enlighten me

    my educated guess is that you will have 3 stacks to play with, effectivley u have paid for 2 rebuys before u start.
    say the start of the tourney u begin with 5000 chips u will have 2 stacks of 5000 in reserve so to speak in case of any accidents, after a set period of time any stack that you havent used will be credited to u, ie after 2 hours u never had to get a 2nd stack and had run up the original stack to 10k then they would credit u with the 2 remaining stacks taking u to 20k. this is my understaning of it but i could be wrong, someone somewhere will have a definite answer,  hope this helps

    Hi

    Yup

    You get your original starting chips, but if you run out, you can rebuy a maximum of twice and an add on after the alloted time after the rebuys, then its a normal freezout game.

    I played 1 just a couple of weeks ago

    i dont believe this is correct, if its say £40 treble chance then the £40 you pay at the start only gets you the starting stack, if you lose this stack then you have to pay another £40 to get another stack, then if you lose that you buy another one for £40, with a treble chance you are allowed 3 reubys within the alloted time, you can use these when either a)you lose your stack or b)when your chip stack goes below a certain level. you can either have 3 rebuys, or 2 rebuys and an add on at the end of the rebuy period, you are not allowed to addon if you have used your 3 rebuys. hope this clears it up.

    I think you are wrong hurst.  What you refer to is a semifreezeout.

    i found one, im wrong, which is quite strange because the casino advertised it has a triple chance freezout yet when you were out you had to pay for the rebuy addon etc.

    maybe theyre different between casinos.  In my casino the triples are what barry said and the semifreezouts are what you said

    This is what I would expect for either a double or triple chance tourny. There is no tournament i've ever seen where you pay up front and possibly get given some chips later!

    It`s not possibly, it`s definitely.  Your choice is when you want to take them.  You can have your `triple` chips as soon as you sit or you can wait to bust, then get another stack etc

    not where ive played. A semi freeeout, yes, then you have to pay to get ur chips afterwards.  Like I said, maybe its different per casino.  Ive been to a few though, and only known one way
