$10K GTD tonight at PKR

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

The pick of the poker tournaments tonight is PKR’s $10,000 Guaranteed - $30 + $3 Freezeout at 20:00 GMT. This tournament attracts a smallish field, so you’ll definitely get to bed at a reasonable time (or be free in time to hit the American cash tables at prime time), and the best thing about this tournament is that the field is relatively weak, so it’s possible to go deep by playing some standard ABC poker.

Also, if you’ve not downloaded PKR then it’s a perfect opportunity to check out the most popular 3D poker site on the web and receive a 100% bonus of up to $600.

Good luck, see you at the tables!

Betfair Poker’s ‘Easter Beast’

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Turn 10 Cents into Mega Bucks This Easter Sunday

What is the ‘Easter Beast’ I hear you ask? Well, I admit that it may not be the best named promotion in the world, but its surely worth taking part in. It is a whopping $170,000 line up of GTD tournaments in just one day from Betfair Poker. What’s more, there are plenty of chances to get involved in the Easter Beast action for as little as 10 cents! Play in one of their three daily 10 cent tournaments before Good Friday and if you finish in the top three spots you will receive a random prize buy-in which might just include an Easter Beast Mega Package worth over $950 or a seat in the EPT Monte Carlo final worth $1,050 (see full list of prizes on offer below).

  • 10 x The Easter Beast Lunch Money $2.5k GTD Super Turbo worth $22 each
  • 12 x $25k GTD Easter Beast Curtain Raiser worth $215 each
  • 10 x $111k THE EASTER BEAST worth $550 each
  • 25 x $25k Second Chance Easter Beast worth $109 each
  • 5 x $7.5 Goodbye Easter Beast worth $55
  • 1 x EPT Monte Carlo $60k Final worth $1,050
  • 5 x WSOP Europe $50,000 Final worth $550
  • 5 x WSOP Vegas Final worth $550 each
  • 5 x $16k GTD worth $109
  • 20 x Betfair $11k GTD Regular worth $90 each
  • 1 x Easter Beast – Mega Package worth over $950

Keep a close eye on the poker lobby for the THREE daily “Feed the Beast” tournaments. Each 10c rebuy tournament will appear in the lobby between 18:00 and 24:00 (GMT) but will only be registering for 30 minutes prior to starting so you will need to be quick!

Betfair Poker have brought you an unmissable day of Poker to help you through your Easter Sunday. Check their site for the Sunday Tournament Schedule. I’ll see you at the tables in the coming days.

Best Value Tournament

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

It’s Tuesday, so there’s only one tournament worth playing tonight and that’s Mansion Poker’s $110K guaranteed. $100 + $8 will get you a shot at some big time prize money. This tournament is usually an overlay as it only generates around 600 players, so is a great value if you have the bankroll, but watch out there’s a tough field waiting for you.

Good luck at the tables!

Best Tournaments Tonight

Monday, February 25th, 2008

There’s plenty of tournament action tonight to suit all levels bankrolls! Here’s our pick of the best.

Small stake players hoping for a big cash should head to the OnGame network (Mansion Poker, Hollywood Poker, and Coral Poker) to play in some rebuy madness at 19:00:

  • OnGame $20,000 Gtd (19:00 GMT): $5 + 50c Rebuy & Add-on

This gets a large field of runners and is littered with lots questionable calls and loose play during the reuby period. Make sure you’ve got around 5 buyins to be on the safe side.

Another smaller stake tournament which tends to attract a large field is iPoker’s (VC Poker, Paddy Power Poker, Blue Square Poker, bet365poker) $10,000 Gtd tournament:

  • iPoker $10,000 Gtd (19:30 GMT): $10 + $1 Freezeout

If you play slighly higher stakes and want a smaller field but a big prize then the advice is to head to Ladbrokes Poker at 20:00 for the $30K Gtd tournament

If these don’t take your fancy than be sure to check our poker tournament database to find out what else is available. Good luck wherever you decide to play tonight.

Tonight’s Tournaments

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

There’s plenty of tournament action available tonight for lovers of all things MTT. One Deepstack tournament that’s becoming increasingly popular due to the low buy-in is the Ladbrokes Poker’s High Stack Tournament ($10 Freezeout). This tournament kicks off at 18:15 GMT and generally gets around 100 runners.
Players start with 5000 chips and there are 15 minute blind levels. This is a great tournament to while away the hours and get some deepstack experience in the long winter nights.

If you’re looking for a bigger prize money for buck then you might consider the OnGame’s $50,000 GTD European $5 Rebuy tournament (20:00 GMT). Guaranteed rebuy madness, but a great payout if you can survive! Poker rooms on the OnGame network include: Coral Poker, Hollywood Poker, and Mansion Poker.

Finally Paradise Poker are running a great campaign starting tomorrow (1st Feb) with a €70,000 Added Promotion:

Finish in any of the Paradise Poker GTD Tournaments and they will DOUBLE your winnings! In addition any real money player who plays ten raked hands on February 1st gets free entry into a €10,000 Freeroll. The tournament will begin at 18.30 GMT and registration will open at 16.00 GMT.
