After the closing of many online poker sites, I predicted that Poker Stars, the largest remaining player in the USA, would eventually see their $1 million Sunday guaranteed tournament grow to $2 million. Well, it has been growing, but slower than I expected. Still, they hit a $1.5 million plus payout last night, but which is a nice chunk of change. pokernews.com
The Mansion Poker nightly $100,000 tournaments are now the best bargain in online poker. They have an overlay of $40,000 or more every night of the week. Mansion is not my favorite site and I wonder how they can afford to lose more than $40,000 a night. But I have deposited the $100 fee and will enter some weeknight to see if I can partake of this huge overlay. The winner usually gets about $24,000. The main problem is, I want to have a night when I feel good and lucky, and when I am extremely well rested. The tourney starts at 10 pm eastern and usually runs to about 4 AM eastern. That's way past my usual bed time. I'm not worried about staying awake. I'm worried about staying sharp that long at those hours. I am not a night owl by nature. |
