Best tournies with >100k prize pools...

AZK · #1 10-02-2005, 01:44 PM

Hey all,

I used to be a regular 5/10NL+ player but now I don't have as much time to play each week. I'm thinking about spicing up some of my poker life with tournies. I'm looking for some that have around $500 or less buyin and a prize pool greater than or equal to 100k. Obviously structure and time are also factors, so I was thinking of getting a list together of some of the best ones to play in on weekends if I had free time.

So far I have:

Stars Sunday tournies (500k, 750k)
Bodog (100k)

What about party?

Not really crazy about UB...

Any other sites worth checking out? Any big tourney's that aren't on the weekend?

What are your favorites?

Thanks.

well UB's 125k tourney is the nicest structure..

those are about all i can think of w/ 100k + prizepool.

the nightly stars 45k 10r gets between 60k and 75k.. so thats pretty big.

I forgot about the Party Supers, but those only go certain days for NL right? Doesn't empire also have a big tourney?

the supers are NL i think every day besides wednesday? maybe not though..

and empire meh, but yea they have a 200k $250 R+A on suundays i think.

party -

saturday - $200k guaranteed
sunday - $500k guaranteed

i believe that each of the party 'supers' gets that much as well (Super Monday, Super Tuesday, etc)

The Party Supers (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday) regularly get about 1K people and break a 150K prizepool. They are most definitely the biggest weekday tournaments.

UB- 125k, has 2500 starting chips, 5/10 blinds, and 15 minute levels. There are lots of levels too, so it stays deep for a while.

Pokerstars has the 215 every sunday, 530 once every 4th sunday.

Partypoker has a nl tournament with over 100k prize pool every day except wednesday. Weekly supers, and saturday and sunday 215s.

Those ones are all good.
