Online Poker Site Offers Largest
Weekly Tournament
February 11, 2006 (written by Beat The Fish)
Fitting
for the best online poker site in
terms of tournaments,
Poker Stars has been hosting a
weekly $750,000 guaranteed
tournament. This is this largest
weekly tournament on the internet,
and it really is huge - sometimes
reaching over $800,000. The buy-in
right now is at $215, which isn't a
bad investment for over a $200,000
possible first prize. I like the
structure of their tournament also
since the blinds start off low and
the level increase slowly to give
skilled players a better shot over
those who are just getting lucky.
If
you're curious, they've also started
"airing" replays of the final table
each week on Fridays and Saturdays.
You can find it in the "Special"
section of the Tourneys tab. Some of
the players have agreed to have
their hole cards aired, and I think
that it is silly for any player to
object. It's similar to the fuss
that some pros made when hole card
cameras were first placed in use.
Quite simply, it's good for the game
and good for their game to
have half of future tables waiting
to bluff them and the other half
respecting their accomplishments.
