Looking for tournament Info, Jonny-Sax, 31. Aug 2003 22:07

Ok, so i've got all the major pokerrooms on my computer, i'm spending my days playing and hiding form the boss, now I feel its time to start diping my toe in the Tournament pool.

But what to look for? If anyone can find the time to let me know what makes a good online tournament I would really be greatful.

Do I go to where the trafic is, or the cash (Although I'm not taking that home just yet.) or the Tornament location.

Any Advice appreciated.

Regards,

J-Sax

PokerStars seems to be the place for tournies judging by the past posts on the subject, but I haven't tried it myself. I would also suggest Ultimatebet, which I do have experience with. I mainly suggest UB because of their software, which I think contains a good info screen during the tourney as well as having my favorite layout. They have a decent selection of daily tourneys, and the sit and go's fill quickly and usually include a player or three anxious to give their chips away quickly. (I would also wait to play until I was done working, but that's just me lol)

I would say go for Paradise for sit and go's and either poker stars or UB for the mutli table games. I prefer Stars as a) they let me cash out in £sterling and think the structure of the competition is very good.

Try one of the free tournaments on Pokerstars and see what you think.

The very best over-lay is the Saturday tournament on PokerRoom.com. The house adds $2500 to the (max) 750 players times $1. Thus, the prize pool is $3250--the winner gets more than $1000, while 15th place gets $20. Sure, that is a lot of players to wade thru, but you can't beat the overlay.
Good luck
