Big Prizes and (Very) Small Buy-Ins in partypoker’s Ontario Micro Series
Thanks to the effectively borderless world of real money online poker it’s possible for fans to enjoy the game wherever they are, and Ontario is one of these places where poker is thriving, with the poker community spoilt for choice.
For the first time ever, the partypoker Micro Series is coming to Ontario, and whether you’re a bad beat-hardened pro, recreational poker player or newcomer, you can join the thrills and spills for as little as 11 cents!
The bankroll-friendly series runs from 11-25 June and promises to be an action-packed fortnight, boasting combined guaranteed prize pools of $200K across two weeks of non-stop, low-stakes online poker tournaments.
The poker-for-all ethos at partypoker continues with this admirably inclusive series, which is aimed at making tournaments with sizeable prizes nevertheless affordable for as many players as possible. Indeed, every tournament throughout the Ontario Micro Series has been designed with this in mind, including the two Main Events! The $25,000 GTD Main Event High has a $55 buy-in, while the $3,000 GTD Main Event Low needs an investment of only $5.50.
The idea that tournaments with big guarantees can have low buy-ins and therefore are ‘anyone’s to win’ is a nice approach in an era that is seeing online poker operators doing their utmost to not only welcome poker hobbyists but, importantly, make sure they continue to feel appreciated. It’s not unusual nowadays, for example, for players with the most modest bankrolls to be able to qualify for live poker tournaments - see partypoker’s MILLIONS Malta promotion for such an example.
Meanwhile, budding poker aces can hit the ground running by making the most of the Ontario Micro Series’ flexible buy-in set-up. For instance, the three series openers - the aptly titled PKOpener 7-max (who doesn’t like an exciting Bounty Tournament?) - on 11 June have buy-ins of $55, $11 and $0.55, with guaranteed prize pools of $5,000, $1,500 and $50 respectively!
Finally, it’s also with poker fans in mind that, at PokerListings, we’ve put together a selection of the latest online poker bonuses and offers in our dedicated and regularly updated info section.
