Best Guarenteed Tounaments
« on: July 29, 2007, 12:19:06 PM »
What good "guarenteed" prize pool tournaments are there on the web across different sites? Just wondering if people could add to this topic the best ones that they know?

By "good" do you mean ones with a bit of overlay? I"d like to know of any in the $5-$20 range too. Got to be over by 1am at the latest though on school nights!

I play a $6.5K gtd on Ipoker (blonde poker skin) most nights - $11 buy-in but there"s rarely if ever any overlay. Decent enough structure though. It only runs Monday to Friday 7.30pm BST start.

Sorry by good i meant those that have a bit of overlay but also those that are good value for money, decent guarenteed prize pools for low cost for example the daily 15 Grand on stars, 11 dollars with a guarenteed prize pool of 15 thousand dollars and others like 17 grand guarentee on full tilt with a 26 dollar entry fee. Theres some decent tournaments on stars on weekdays startin between 6 and quarter past 7.

I"m a big fan (and a big donator) of the $3r and $5r on Stars. If you"re in for the minimum in the $3r ($9) then you"ve got a shot at a $6k+ first prize. Now whilst the tournament always goes over its $25k guarantee ($3r) the fact is that of the usual 2000 field will have been reduced by a few hundred during the re-buy period as people bust and choose not to re-buy (i never understand this btw). Also as it"s a re-buy the stacks get a lot deeper encouraging more creative play and also favouring skill.

The 8.30pm $6 on Partypoker is full of fish and quite easy to cash in (it has to be for a fish like me to win it!). It normally has a 1st prize of $1000 - $1100. There is also the $5000 guaranteed on Pokerstars which starts at 6pm. This normally attracts around 2000 players with a first prize of about $1800.
  The Partypoker 8.30pm tourney normally finishes 1.30 to 2.00 am. I"m not sure about finish time for the Pokerstars one, but when I finished 25th I left at 11.10pm. Hope this is helpful.
Currently tearing the Ipoker anonymous tables a new one

There is a nice $8r on stars in the am can"t remember the time but its a 20k guarantee which is a pretty decent deal if you don"t re buy to hard. It is also not a HUGE field i think last time 500. So should see some soft play.

The 8 dollar rebuy on stars is at 3 in the afternoon i think, a decent tourny but not always the easiest field, couple of pros usually sniffin g around that one but if u can get on a table with one with their all in every hand strategy can build you a decent stack for later

I like the $11 event on Stars with a $20000 gtd, which does go over all the time. You also get a 3000 starting stack. The downside for most players is that it starts at midnight UK time!
