BetOnline Poker to Host $120K GTD Micro Tournament Series

Low stakes tournament players will be in their glory from June 17-30 at BetOnline Poker where the Micro Tournament Series will pay out $120,000 guaranteed.

A total of 100 events are on the Micro Tournament Series schedule, with most of the buy-ins listed at just a few dollars. In fact, 98 of the 100 tournaments have entry fees in the range of 55 cents ($0.55) to $5.50.

The only two tournaments not within that range are an $11 buy-in with $10,000 GTD on Saturday, June 22 and a $22 buy-in with $20,000 GTD on Sunday, June 30. Those are the featured events of the Micro Tournament Series and are sure to draw a good number of participants.

However, it’s highly likely that the entire festival attracts players from far and wide considering the low entry fees. It’s the perfect opportunity for play money players at the likes of Zynga Poker to finally make the switch over to real money and take a shot at turning their social gaming hobby or passion into a profitable venture.

6+ Hold’em

The modest buy-ins also serve the purpose of allowing players to check out some other tournament game types that they may not play regularly. For instance, there are more than half a dozen very affordable Six Plus Hold’em events on the Micro Tournament Series schedule. If you’ve yet to try that poker variant in a MTT setting, this may be a good time to do so.

The majority of game types are No Limit Texas Hold’em, with a decent number of Pot Limit Omaha games to be had as well. That includes PLO8, the split pot game in which players are vying for both the High hand and Low hand simultaneously.

When it comes to game formats, BetOnline Poker’s Micro Tournament Series has an extensive variety of choices available. Freezeouts, re-entries, re-buys, triple add-ons, deep stacks, and progressive knock outs are among the options, and they’ll be played at various speed levels such as hyper, turbo, regular, and boost.

Excellent Deposit Bonus

It promises to be a fun two weeks of poker action for MTT players at BetOnline Poker. For those who have yet to open an account at the US poker site, this is a great time to get started as an industry-leading 100% up to $1,000 Welcome Bonus is available for first time depositors.

In addition to that generous bonus, BetOnline Poker’s Bad Beat Jackpot is nearing $600,000. While the BBJ is available on the cash game tables and not on MTT action such as the Micro Tournament Series, there’s over a week before the series starts and the jackpot could hit at any time!
