As you already know in poker you can find different types of tournaments: guaranteed, regular, sit and go, steps, satellites and so on. Although these tournaments are different they can have similar features like re-buy and add-on.
Re-buy as you probably guessed, gives to a player the chance to get back in the tournament. Usually the re-buy is equal to the buy-in of the tournament and after re-buy you get the initial stack of chips. Add-on allows a player to increase his stack of chips during the tournament. The add-on cost is the same as the buy-in and in most cases the stack of add-on chips is bigger than on re-buy. In some tournaments add-on is accepted only if you have fewer chips than the initial stack. |

Steps or phase tournaments are primarily sit and go tournaments that serve as a satellite for a larger tournament. Usually main poker rooms offer steps tournaments for big money prizes or packages on big events like the Main Event of the World Series of Poker. Playing in steps tournaments you can turn a small amount of money invested in the first step into a large prize working your way up to the last step.
Steps tournaments are based on a tiered system. This means that if you end up in the first places you will receive a ticket to the next step. If you place in the middle you can get a ticket to repeat the phase or to return to previous steps. If you end up on the last places you are out of the tournament but usually you can reenter at any step if you buy in directly with cash. The more advanced is the step you want to enter the more expensive the buy in will be. |
