Im fairly new to playing online poker and was wondering if someone can clarify some tournament types for me because I don't want to enter something when I dont know what Im getting into. I saw tournaments listed as "freeze out" "speed tournament" and "sit and go" If anyone can explain these Id appreciate it. Thanks

freeze out : A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money.
speed tournament : basically the blinds go up very quickly which means luck has a bigger part to play (compared to regular speed tourneys)
sit and go : everyone pays the same to enter the tourney and then everyone gets an equal number of chips. Last man standing wins
hope this helps

The reason Sit & Gos are called that is that they start when the requsite number of entrants are present. Other tourneys may start at a specific time.

yes, but no matter the tournament type its all played the same way, right?
goal= keep chips in front of you. 
so you wouldn't be jumpin in over your head. correct? its nothing like a must move table.
but fonzi, thanks for you explos. goes to show you learn somethin new every day
