Full Tilt Poker’s Big Little $100,000 Guaranteed Tournaments Are Back – Not For Long Though!

Big Little Tournaments at Full Tilt Poker are back! Not familiar with these types of tournaments yet? No problem!

Just read this blog posts and you will soon know everything you need to know about these low buyin – high prizepool online poker tournaments!

Buyins For Big Little Tournaments

Basically, Big Little Tournament is an online poker tournament that has a very low buy-in of $2 + $0.20 on one hand, and a very high guaranteed prize pool of $100,000 on the other hand.

The prize money for the winner of the tournament is $9,000!

The main reason why you should start playing these poker tournaments is because it gives you an opportunity to win big without having to spend hundreds of dollars for the buyin.

There are not many online poker tournaments that would give you a chance to turn a $2 buyin into $9000.

If you are currently grinding on micro & low stakes players, then I am sure you will recognize your opportunity here and join in at least one of the seven (7) Big Little Tournaments left to be played!

Where & When & How Often Are Big Little Tournaments Going To Be Played?

Big Little Tournaments are played online at Full Tilt Poker room. Altogether, eight (8) $100,000 poker tournaments are scheduled.

The first one was played on 18th of July 2010 and the last one is going to be played on 24th of October 2010 (every second Sunday). The start time of every tournament is 12:30 ET.

Play Satellites To Get Tickets For Big Little Tournament!

If your bankroll is too small and does not allow you to buy into the tournament directly, then consider playing satellites!

There are many satellites available that can help you get a ticket for big little tournament.

For instance, you can join 180 players Sit & Go qualifier for as little as 5 FTP points. Or you could join 9 players Sit & Go Turbo satellite for $0.30 + $0.05.

The choice is definitely yours! But I would definitely recommend you to take part in these kinds of Full Tilt Poker tournaments as the prizes are worth it!

You can register for Big Little Tournament by logging into the software (or register at Full Tilt Poker first) and then use navigation: Tournament / Guarantee / Hold’em / No Limit / Micro to find it. Good luck!

Rush Poker Tournaments introduced at Full Tilt Poker

April 25, 2010 · Posted in Texas Holdem poker tips · 1 Comment 

After Rush Poker cash games, Full Tilt has now introduced Rush Poker tournaments too!

Good news coming from Full Tilt Poker for those of you who like to play online poker fast and spend as little time waiting for another hand as possible!

After bringing on online Rush Poker cash games, which is a kind of revolution in online poker, Full Tilt Poker has now introduced online Rush Poker tournaments too! The rules of playing this type online poker tournaments are not much different than with cash games:

Again, as soon as you fold your hand or the hand is over you immediately get seated to another table and receive a new hand. That also means that every registered poker player at the Rush Poker tourney you are playing in could be your potential opponent.

If you need some Rush Poker cash game tips or better understanding of it, I suggest you check out these two blog posts I have made:

Here are few more words about Rush Poker tournaments:

About online Rush Poker Tournaments

Rush Poker tournaments run in the way described above until there are only 30 players left.

At that point, the tables will go from standard full ring (9 players) to short handed (6 players) until the final tables. At the final table, things get back to normal again where hands are played just like with any other (online) poker tournament.

How to register for Rush Poker Tournaments

The first thing you need to do is log into the Full Tilt Poker (or register first if you dont have FTP account yet) and then find the Rush Poker tournaments using Browse function:

Tournaments / All / Holdem / No-limit

The Rush Poker tourneys will be marked with black letter »R«, so you will be able to recognize them easily. You can also use FTP‘s Advanced Filter and simply create yourself a list of all Rush Poker tournaments available.

In case you have something to add, feel free to leave it in the comments below. Have fun and see you around!

Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) XVI – april 2010

April 22, 2010 · Posted in Online poker rooms, online poker tournaments · 2 Comments 

It is amazing how time flies when you are having a good time (or just living the life). Why am I saying this?

Because it is time for Full Tilt Online Poker Series (FTOPS) again! It wasnt long ago (in february 2010) when FTOPS XV was taking place. I am not sure if I wrote a post about it, but it was a big event.

More than $17 million in prize pool money had been won in total of 27 online poker events on Full Tilt Poker. As said above, now it is time for another Full Tilt Online Poker Series: FTOPS XVI!

So what can we expect from this online poker series? In short: a lot! But I am sure you are interested to hear about the details too, so here they are:

Details about FTOPS XVI

The FTOPS XVI will be starting on Full Tilt Poker from 23rd of April 2010 on and there will be a total of 30 events with a total guaranteed prize pool of 18$ million! Each event will be hosted by one of their Professional Poker Players.

Full Tilt Poker is obviously continuing its tradition in the sense that every new FTOPS is bigger than previous ones. I hope they will keep pushing the guaranteed prize pool limits in future events too.

Poker Tournaments on FTOPS XVI

There will be many tournaments going on, perhaps the ones I should mention are:

  • FTOPS (Full Tilt Online Poker Series) Main Event with a guaranteed prize pool of $3 million, and
  • Two-Day Event tournament with a guaranteed prize pool of $2 million.

A few more words about Two-Day Event, it has a very large buyin ($2,000 + $100) and will be starting on 1st of May 2010 at 19:00 GMT.

The playing structure is also worth mentioning: You start with 6000 chips and the blinds increases every 30 minutes (antes will be collected from the start).

The first day of this online poker tournament will end when players get into the money.

Another good news is that you can get a ticket for the Two-Day Event at FTOPS XVI by playing qualifiers and satellites starting from $1 or 50 FTP Points upwards! You will find them in the Lobby under the »Tournaments / Satellite« tabs.

Interesting FTOPS XVI Prizes

Just like with past Full Tilt Online Poker Series, the FTOPS XVI is also spicing things up with interesting prizes like:

  • limited-edition jacket for all poker players who will make it to the final table of any FTOPS XVI event,
  • FTOPS event winners will also receive a jacket, as well as FTOPS jersey and a coveted gold jersey avatar at FTP (If you were wondering how certain players managed to get that gold jersey avatar, here is the answer), and
  • a custom FTP avatar for the winner of the FTOPS XVI Leaderboard together with an entry to every FTOPS XVII Event (except the Two-Day Event) worth $9,000 in tournament entries.

There are even more cool stuff and tournaments going on at Full Tilt Poker during FTOPS XVI! In case you want to participate in the action and get a share of $18 million, you are invited to take part.

Don’t forget, the FTOPS XVI starts tomorow at Full Tilt Poker, but you can start with qualifiers today! Good luck and see you around.
