Best sites for tournaments??

Multitable tournies or SnGs? For MTT, definitely Stars. For SnGs, definitely Party.

Bonuses cleared on stars are cleared by earning FPPs... if you get a $100 bonus on stars, you have to earn 100 FPP I do believe. So if you play mid level ring games on stars (1-2 and up) you should clear the bonus rather easily.

Dont overlook Pokerroom for tourneys, they have a nightly 20+2 20k guaranteed, and all their tournaments have deeper chipstacks, which favors the better player.

And I agree, Pacific is an awesome place for mid-limit ringgames.

i only play tournys on stars, havent gotten into party really, don't know why. guess it's because stars was where i started and haven't really tried anything else.

O8B, you're probably looking at Party. For ring games, I'd say UB, but for SnGs definately not UB. They do have a multi on Mondays I believe which usually draw around 80 people or so. Next time I decide I am sick on Monday maybe we could get into a multi together and post results on this board. O8B is my game .

No.

For Pokerstars, if you were to deposit $500, entitling you to a $100 bonus, then you would have to hit 500 FPPs. The equation is 5 x (Bonus Amnt) = Required FPP Points.

To accumulate an FPP point, you have to be in a hand where the pot is over $20. Of course, normal rules apply: (you could have folded the hand pre-flop).

HTH.

I see... that makes it even harder to clear lol.

[Aequitas58]

Uhh... well it does I suppose, just because it takes a little longer, but depending on what limits you play, every hand in the orbit could be a potential FPP hand.

I played a session of $3/6 LHE, where I got an easy ~75 points... then I was playing 2-3 tables of $.25/$.50 NLHE. After a few days, bonus was cleared. Now I'm waiting on another Party bonus.

What about getting FPP on stars by playing in tournies only? Also, are there lots of players on pokerroom?
Aequitas, I have played mostly MTT, with some success. I havent really tried SnGs, but would like to try. I think MTT sit my play better, because I do play pretty tight. I think SnGs require a little more aggession? What do you all think? anyone else like pokerroom?

[omahilo]

I agree its easy if you play 3/6... just that PS is a tougher site to play ring games on... its not party lmao.
