Multi-Table Tournament (MTT)

A multi-table tournament is a form of competitive gaming, particularly in poker, in which lots of players compete against their opponents on different tables. Following are the main features characterising MTT:

Structure: 

Many tables are hosting players, the tables at which they were seated are broken up and merged with others until only one final table remains, hosting the last remaining players.

Entry Fee and Prize Pool: 

In a tournament, players typically pay a portion of the buy-in to contribute to a single prize pool. Prize money is divided among the top finishers in some sort of set payout format.

Blind Structure:

All MTTs have Blind Levels. The blinds increase consistently at fixed time intervals, putting additional pressure on players, and generally making them more aggressive in their game.

Elimination Format:

A player is said to be eliminated whenever he loses all his chips. The aim, though, is to win chips, last longer than the opponents, and increase one’s potential gains. 

Strategic Game:

With every different blind level, stack size, and even tournament dynamics, the changes in strategy will come into place, making MTTs a bit different from cash games.
