Default Re: Good site for micro trnys (EST afternoon)?

Especially since you are in Sweden, you might want to check out 24hPoker. It's a smaller site run by Swedes and almost all the players on this site are Europeans; it's part of the B2B network that also includes Unibet and some smaller skins.

I think you will find that the tournament schedule is Euro-friendly. They have holdem tournaments with €5 and greater buy-ins. They also have some rebuy satellites and crazy rebuy events (called "Wild West" tournaments) with smaller buy-ins. There are also some freerolls and VIP events (VIP are points you earn for playing cash games, similar to Stars' FPPs).

A typical €5 event at 24h will have a couple of hundred players, as opposed to a few thousand at Stars. The blind structure goes up rather quickly in the normal events and insanely fast in the turbo events. 24h tourneys are fast paced and don't allow for a lot of play. You don't make big laydowns in these events. 24h rakes 9%, so if you play a €5 freezeout, €4.55 goes to the prize pool and €0.45 goes to the rake. Unfortunately they rake 4% on each rebuy/addon [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

If you want to branch out of holdem, this site has a decent amount of tournament and ring game action in PL Omaha, PL Draw, and PL Soko.
