About PokerTournaments101

PokerTournaments101 is a free strategy resource for multi-table tournament poker players. Everything on this site — articles, calculators, charts, and tools — is available without a subscription, paywall, or account.

What you will find here

The articles cover tournament poker from the ground up: how the game works, the math behind every decision, preflop ranges, post-flop play, ICM, stack depth adjustments, and advanced concepts like check-raising and range construction. Content is written for players who want to understand the reasoning behind strategy, not just memorise rules.

The tools are built for practical use at the table and away from it. The equity calculator lets you run any hand or range matchup. The ICM calculator shows how payout structures change push/fold decisions. The push-fold chart covers short-stack play. The tournament planner helps you track schedules and buy-ins.

Who this is for

Players at every level. The Getting Started section covers the rules, math, and fundamentals for newer players. The Core MTT Strategy section goes deeper into tournament-specific concepts for players already comfortable with the basics.

Free, always

There are no courses, coaching packages, or membership tiers. The site is supported by affiliate links where relevant — if you sign up for a poker site through one of our links, we may receive a commission at no cost to you. That never influences the strategic content.
