MAD Tilt All-In SNGs

Offered from $1.20 to $11 the MAD Tilt All-In Sit and Go's pit ten players against one another in an all-out gamble-fest. Here are the stats.

Players: 10Starting stack: 60 chipsLevel: 3 minutesPayouts: Winner take all

Bwin promotes this as a way of letting off steam if you're suffering from temporary tilt. In our opinions this structure is just going to enrage you further as it's tailor-made for bad beats.

Starting with three big blinds, and levels of just 3 minutes, you're going to have to get it in fast and frequently.

On the bright side it's going to be over quickly, one way or another.

Strategy Tip: Step 1: Move all-in. Step 2: Cross fingers. Step 3: Repeat.

Coinflip SNGs

If the previously described structure was mad this one is utterly insane, like Gary Busey-level insane.

Try this on for size:

Players: Heads-up and five-manLevels: NoneStarting stack: 1 chipPayouts: Winner take allThat's right, a one-hand SNG. This is gambling distilled down to its purest form. Just pay the juice and you get to flip a coin.

If you're a losing player you might want to consider this. The rake is half what they normally charge and you can blame losses 100% on variance.

Strategy Tip: No strategy required. Run-good or GTFO.

Bounce SNGs

Perhaps the wackiest gimmick we've seen, Bounce SNGs have blinds that alternate from really small to really big each level.

Players: 6Levels: 3 minutesStarting stack: 2,000Payouts: 1st - 70%, 2nd - 30%

When playing Bounce sit and gos you're going to see your M go up and down faster than Greg Raymer's chop sticks at an all-you-can-eat BBQ pork buffet.

Level 1 has blinds of 10/20 before skyrocketing to 100/200 + 20 ante in Level 2. Level 3 it's at 15/30 while Level 4 shoots to 200/400 with a 40 ante, and so on.

Gone are the early stages of the tournament when you can sit back and auto-pilot while watching the ESPN broadcast of the WSOP Main Event.

Strategy Tip: Push/fold poker is the name of the game here as there's a ton of chips up for grabs every other level. Also, if you have to get up to go to the bathroom make sure you do it on the low-blind level.

If you like action we can guarantee there's plenty of it on Bwin. Click through here for the best sign-up bonus available and get in on that sweet gambly poker.
