When people think of poker, Texas Hold'em is probably the first version they have in mind. This is certainly the most popular form of poker at the moment, but there are several other types of the poker game that should be overlooked. There's Omaha, Razz, Seven Card Stud, and Five Card Draw to name just a few.

A Hyper-Turbo event is one in which the blind levels increase extremely quickly  even faster than in a Turbo tournament. The length of each round (before the blinds/antes increase) in a Hyper-Turbo tournament is usually 3 minutes.

Poker tournaments are easier for a beginner to learn but they also require a large time commitment and your winnings will be very inconsistent. Cash games on the other hand offer much less demands on your time and your winnings will be a lot more consistent.

MTT stands for Multi-Table Tournament, which is a poker tournament with players filling multiple tables, as opposed to single table tournaments/sit & gos. The World Series of Poker Main Event is perhaps the most famous multi-table tournament in the world.
