I really enjoy playing multi-table online poker tournaments.  The more entrants and the bigger the prize the better.  This post will look at some of the biggest weekly tournaments hosted at some of the best online poker sites.  I make some of these tournaments part of my weekly schedule and if you enjoy these type of tourneys I suggest you do the same.

Full Tilt Poker

Full Tilt is my favourite poker room to play large multi-table poker tournaments.  Full Tilt offers great tournaments all week long, but there are a few each week that I thoroughly enjoy and hate to miss.

$200k Double Deuce

This tourney takes place every Sunday at 4:22pm EST.  There is $200,000 guaranteed and the buy-in is only $20 + $2!  First prize is at least $30,000 every week, which is quite the return on a little $20 investment (150000% return).  The $200k prize pool implies that around 10,000 players will enter.

$750K Sunday Guaranteed

$750,000 is up for grabs every Sunday at 5pm EST.  The buy-in for this event is $200 + $16 and there are many ways to enter this tourney without paying the buy-in (satellites, Full Tilt Points, etc.)  This week the prize pool is being doubled to $1.5M so Feb 6 is as good a time as any to win this tournament.

The Sunday Brawl

Here is another fun big money tournament at Full Tilt Poker.  Play begins at 2pm EST every Sunday.  The buy-in is $200 + $16 and $40 from every buy-in becomes a bounty on the players head.  The remaining amount goes to the prize pool, with $350k guaranteed every week.  If you happen to get the most knockouts you will also gain a free entry to next weeks Brawl.

Poker Stars

Sunday Million

This is the largest weekly tournament anywhere online.  $1M guaranteed every Sunday with the tourney starting at 4pm EST and the buy-in $215.  This is the biggest and baddest online poker tournament you can play.  To make matters even crazier this coming Sunday, PokerStars is making the prize pool $5,000,000 and guaranteeing $1,000,000 to the winner of the big event, plus the champion will bring home a Lamborghini Gallorado LP560-4!  Definitely check that out if you can.  Winning $1M from an online tournament sounds good to me.

Final Word

Full Tilt and PokerStars have some of the biggest and best weekly online poker tournaments available to players.  If you are looking for poker sites with the best mtt tournaments look no further than these two industry giants.  The PokerStars Sunday Million this coming week is going to be huge and I suggest everyone check it out!

Razz Tournament Strategy

 Poker Strategy
Feb 222026
 

Razz poker is an under-studied game in comparison to the more popular forms of tournament poker. The game offers a great advantage to skilled players because there aren’t very many skilled Razz players.

The proper strategy for Razz tournaments is surprisingly similar to that of other tournament types. The basic idea is to play tight and straightforward early in the tournament and then slowly increase the aggression as the tournament wears on.

Hand Selection

Hand selection is a critical skill in Razz tournaments because with the right hands you’ll win way more than your fair share of pots. As a general rule, you should try to only play starting hands that no worse than a 7 or 8 high.

This is a tight starting range but it will take you a long ways in Razz tournaments. Don’t be afraid of looking like a rock because you’ll still get plenty of calls when you play a hand. The tables shift around constantly and most of your opponents won’t be paying you much attention.

Early Stages

In the early stage of a razz poker tournament, you’ll want to stick to the above starting hand guidelines and play a straightforward game. The more you try to bluff and pull of fancy plays, the more you’ll risk busting yourself out of the tournament.

Bluffs are a bad idea in the early stages because most of the weak opponents will still be alive and ready to call. Even as the tournament progresses you’ll want to be very careful in choosing when to bluff.

Middle Stages

During the middle stage you’ll start to see the players tighten up as all the fish get knocked out and the tightwads batten down the hatches and hope to make it to the money. In this stage of the tournament you can loosen up your hand requirements just a bit start to amp up the aggression.

Look for tight opponents with medium sized stacks and attack their bring-ins whenever your hand appears strong. It doesn’t have to be a great hand in reality but if you show the right player a strong up-card and make a raise, he’ll probably fold. You’ll get all the antes, which is a good amount of chips.

Late Stages

The blinds are going to get a lot bigger and the stacks a lot shorter during the late stages of a tournament. At this point, it’s vital that you make as many well-timed steals as you can to stay afloat.

What you really do not want to do is get so short stacked that you have to go all-in on 3rd street and pray. Try to keep up the pressure and prevent yourself from getting too short. If you do end up in a tight situation, however, remember that’s best to be the one pushing than it is to be the one calling. Don’t wait too long either – if your stack gets too short, you won’t get anyone to fold when you push all-in.

4 Satellite Tournament Strategy Tips

 Poker Strategy
Feb 222026
 

Satellite tournaments are smaller buy-in tournaments where you compete to win a seat in a large poker even for a much smaller cost than you would pay to buy directly into the big event.  The amount of seats the satellite tournament awards is determined by the amount of players in the satellite and the difference in buy-in between the satellite tournament and the big event.  The ratio difference between the buy-in of the big event and the buy-in of the satellite will be the same ratio between the amount of players who bought into the satellite tournament and the amount of seats that are awarded.  For example if you are playing in a $10 satellite to a $500 event, 1 out of every 50 players wins a seat.  Satellites are great opportunities for players to try to take a shot at some big games that fall without their bankroll management range.

The huge difference between satellite tournaments and regular tournaments is that there is no difference in prize between every player who cashes.  All the winning players receive the same thing, that being a seat or a token to a larger tournament.  This difference can change your strategy in a few ways that we have outlined below.

See a lot of flops early on

As a rule of thumb, satellite tournaments have more fish than regular tournaments.  A lot of winning players don’t see satellites as a good use of their time, because you don’t actually win any money.  The fact there are a lot of fish means you should see a lot of flops early on and try to make a big hand to double up with.  That being said you should still only be making good calls from good positions and not wasting your chips.  Success in a satellite tournament is made a lot easier if you have chips early on.

Avoid coin flip situations early

You don’t want to risk your tournament on a coin flip early on.  IN most satellite tournaments your starting stack is of a greater value than half of a doubled up stack.  This is because the entire goal of a satellite tournament is survival.  Of course the degree of this changes depending on what percentage of the players in the tournament win a seat.

Late tournament big stack play

If you were able to accumulate a large stack through the early and middle stages of the tournament you should now be playing tight and holding onto the chips that you have.  Avoid confrontation with other tall stacks that can do harm to you.  If you have enough chips to wait out the tournament, then do so.  An example would be if you are in 5th out of 22 players in a satellite tournament that awards 18 seats and you are dealt QQ.  The chip leader raised the pot from early position.  This is a time when you should probably fold this hand and just try to wait out 4 more busts.  Since the relative value of the extra chips you would earn by winning this hand is basically 0, there is no reason whatsoever for you to risk busting out of the tournament when you have enough chips to survive.

Late tournament short stack play

If you weren’t able to accumulate many chips through the early stages and are now one of the short stacks you need to try to win chips and avoid bubbling.  In satellite tournaments the best players to raise are the medium stack players who you can still do damage to and who are trying to wait out the last few busts.   You should be coming over top of their blinds from late position when you get the chance.  You should only go after the monster stacks and short stacks with quality hands.  The huge stacks aren’t really worried about winning a seat and will likely call just to try to finish the tournament faster.  Short stacks are in the same position as you and would be looking to double up with any good hand as well.
