Here’s the situation.
There are two ways you can guarantee poker is fun each time you log on to play.
1) You can somehow find a way to do what others before you have failed to do, and make every session a winning one.
2) Or you can play MicroMillions for a two week (affordable) poker binge.
The first of those might take a while.
But the second option is available to you right away, and it might just help you fall in love with poker all over again.
What is it about MicroMillions?
It might be because winning an event that costs a dollar to play feels just as good as winning one that costs a lot more.
And losing an event at that price doesn’t feel that bad at all.
Here’s what’s in store for MicroMillions 16:
Runs from Sunday 10 to Sunday 24 November
- 147 events (more than ever before)
- $4.3 million guaranteed ($500K more than July)
- Buy-ins start at $1.10
- $0.40 Spin & Go’s awarding thousands of tournament tickets
- $1 million Main Event with a $22 buy-in
- Phase 1 events running every two hours from today
- 58 non-hold’em events and 35 turbos
- NEW regional leader boards with cash prizes
So, what does all that mean for you?
Play more and worry less
Like in any MicroMillions series, you don’t need a big bankroll to take advantage of big prize pools.
For instance, 41 tournaments on the schedule cost just $1.10 to play.
The guarantees for those alone add up to more than $400K, and each has a structure you’d expect to find in a bigger tournament series, which gives you more time to play.
Try new games from $1.10
And while there are 89 hold’em tournaments, 58 are in other formats, waiting for you to try.
So if you’ve ever wanted to play something different, like Omaha, Zoom, or Eights-or-better, this is your chance. You can also play new games like 6+ hold’em, Showtime, or even Fusion, all from a dollar.
A different kind of tournament leader board
You can also look forward to a NEW format for tournament leader boards.
Instead of a worldwide contest, pitching you against ever MicroMillions player, you’ll compete against players from your own region.
- Europe and UK
- LATAM
- Asia
- CIS
- Rest of the World
That makes it much easier to win (well… theoretically at least).
Each regional leader board pays $1,000 to the winner, with the top 50 places receiving cash prizes.
And remember you’ll score points for every event you play.
Main Event offers massive ROI
The Main Event on Sunday 24 November has a $22 buy-in and $1 million guaranteed.
Simple back-of-the-envelope maths makes this one of the best returns on investment in online poker.
And just like in any other big event on PokerStars, you don’t even have to buy-in for the full amount.
You can win your way into every MicroMillions tournament for even less than the standard buy-in. That includes Phase 1 events starting today, but also special $0.40 Spin $ Go’s awarding thousands of dollars’ worth of tournament tickets.
Try to imagine the level of shouting that goes on when you win the Main Event (and upwards of $100K) for just 40 cents.
And if you still need a reason…
Maybe that doesn’t happen to everyone.
But the low stakes of MicroMillions means you can make the series what you want — depending on the type of player you are, or the type you want to be.
Whether you’re looking for a jumping off point for your poker career, a boost in confidence (and bankroll), or simply to play some cards without thinking too much.
MicroMillions starts Sunday 10 November
So if you love low stakes poker tournaments, come join thousands of others for a two-week affordable poker binge later this month.
You get to keep your shirt, and maybe celebrate with a lap or two around your living room (see Event 43).
