Flip&Go: Exclusive GGPoker Tournament Format

Flip&Go Rules

Flip&Go is a two-stage tournament available in four buy-ins exclusively at GGPoker.

Flip Stage

Each Flip Stage starts at each limit every hour. A player can participate in any of these. In each flip, you can buy up to 5 stacks.

The game is played in a lottery format with preflop all-ins on each hand. The player is dealt three cards and must discard one within 30 seconds. Run It Twice is applied to all hands until two players remain.

If a player has one of four three-card “combinations” in hand (straight, flush, three of a kind, or straight flush) at the exchange stage or immediately after the cards are dealt, his or her starting stack will be increased by an x2-x4 multiplier.

A player’s total stack at the end of all Flip stages qualifies for the final.

Go Stage

This stage starts at the start of each hour; one player from each Flip stage qualifies.

The game is played as a regular Turbo MTT in Hold’em format, with blinds increasing every five minutes.

All participants in the Go stage are guaranteed a prize.

How to play Flip&Go?

Tournaments have a separate lobby in the GGPoker lobby, which consists of three elements:

1. Choosing the buy-in amount
2. Registration for the requested number of Flip stages via the “Join” button
3. Information about the Go stage and the button that opens the lobby

The second stage starts 5 minutes after every hour. If a player has qualified, the game table opens automatically at the indicated time.

Daily Flip&Go Leaderboard

GGPoker players have access to the Daily Flip&Go Leaderboards, which has $5,000 in the prize pool.

The current leaderboard can be viewed on the website or in the “Promotions > Leaderboards” section of the game client. It is also displayed in the banner at the top of the lobby table or at the top left of any table.

Payout structure:

All prizes are paid in T$.

Points for the leaderboard are awarded at the rate of 1 point per buy-in, plus additional points for the amount of bonuses received in the Flip stage, based on the combinations obtained:

• Straight: x2
• Flush: x2
• Triple: x3
• Straight Flush: x4

For example, if a player makes 5 buy-ins in Flip & Go and receives a Straight Flush bonus, he will receive 5 points for the buy-ins and 20 additional points for the Flip bonus, for a total of 25 points.

Happy hours with a x1.5 multiplier will be active daily from 07:00 to 09:00 CET.

Flip & Go Millionaire

The Millionaire Flip & Go, with a guaranteed prize pool of $1,000,000 GTD, is an annual $11 tournament with starting flights every half hour from November 1st to 11th. The tournament final starts on November 11th at 20:00 CET.

In this tournament, you can advance to the final an unlimited number of times, and all stacks will be added up for the Go stage.

You can qualify for the initial flights through satellites:

• Mega to the $1.1 Millionaire Flip&Go with 8 added buy-ins.
• $0.11 steps and 3 tickets of $1.1 in prizes.

How profitable is it to play Flip&Go?

Like the other exclusive formats of GGPoker, Flip&Go was created almost exclusively for recreational players who wanted a different and unusual experience at the tables.

The level of profitability of the tournaments will depend on how much you can reduce the influence of the very high variance in the results of the game, especially in the Flip stage, while also showing exceptional skills in the Go stage, which is a regular SnG tournament.

Flip&Go advantages include:

• A very soft field of opponents
• Daily promotion with $5,000 in tournament tickets as part of the Flip&Go Leaderboard

Flip&Go Game Strategy

A full-ring turbo SnG strategy will work for the Go stage of the tournament. Adjustments must be made based on the stack sizes at a particular table.

Of course, to play a game with such high variance, you need a huge bankroll of several hundred buy-ins. Furthermore, a buy-in should be considered as the maximum buy-in of 5 stacks for the Flip stage.

A larger stack will help you get more chips if you get a Flip bonus.

In the tournament's first stage, the only strategy is selecting the card to discard. When selecting the remaining cards, you must consider how many outs are already “dead” due to being dealt to your opponents.

Flip&Go Live

On October 10-11, 2021, the Rio Casino hosted the first-ever live $1,000 No Limit Hold'em Flip & Go tournament. It attracted 1,232 entries, and 155 players cashed.

The game mechanics were different: players had to discard one of three cards after the dealer dealt the flop, and only then could they show their cards; then the hand was dealt as usual.

The number of Flip stages was not limited; for example, David Williams (runner-up of the 2004 WSOP Main Event) made 14 entries. The tournament winner was American Dejuante "DJ" Alexander ($180,665).

The Flip&Go tournament is already part of the WSOP World Series of Poker's regular schedule, so this format may eventually be used in other festivals.
