The Best Value in Poker Tournaments, the Bodog 100k!

Poker_Player_US Leave a comment

We are updating this post as Bodog Poker left the USA and was replaced by Bovada Poker. Well, now Bovada Poker was taken over by Ignition Poker. Players were given the opportunity to move their accounts to the new poker room. Ignition Poker is part of the Bodog family and shares players across the network. Visit our Ignition Poker review for more details. The information in this post rings true today as it did when originally posted as Ignition Poker hosts the Sunday $100k! This MTT still remains an outstanding value with large overlays.

In my last article I shared the bankroll management strategy of playing in guaranteed tournaments with overlays. One of the very best values is playing in the weekly 100k guaranteed tournament at Igntion Poker. The 100k is Igntion Poker’s top paying tournament and it has historically had huge overlays. In fact, most weeks may see as much as a $30,000 overlay! There is no other big money poker tournament with this small of a field.

So would you rather play against tens of thousands of other players or would you rather go against 500- 800 players and have a shot at a $25,000 first prize? And… Igntion accepts US players and now Canadian players can play at Igntion too!

To get in on the action of the Igntion 100k you can get in several ways. First off is buyin in direct for $162. Now that might be a little steep for many players (including myself) so Igntion runs a huge amount of satellites to the game. The first level of 100k qualifiers is called the "Cheap Seats". These tournaments only cost 1.10 to play and Igntion adds one seat to the 100k semi-final for every 34 players in the game.

You can also catapult your way into the Igntion 100k from satellites that have low buy ins of $7.70, $17, $22 and 34.00. On game day (Sunday) the lobby is packed with "Last Chance" qualifiers with a new satellite starting about every 2 minutes! Visit the Igntion 100k Qualifier Schedule to see when games start. You can even get a seat in the qualifiers with Igntion Poker Points that you earn from playing poker!

There is another way to get a FREE seat to the 100k! Simply open an account with Igntion Poker here, make your first deposit (you get a 110% match up to $550 FREE) and you will get a seat in six of the $100K New Player Qualifier Freerolls! As I said before, the Igntion 100k is most likely the best value in online poker. If you are not playing this tournament, you are missing out on an incredible value. Sign up with Igntion Poker today and best of luck in the 100k!

Did you know you still have time to qualify for the WSOP Main Event? Bodog Poker is giving away seats like crazy and plenty of spending cash, gifts and parties to go along with it too! When you win a $12,000 Main Event package with Bodog, you are treated with ultimate class and pagentry. It’s not just the chance to become immortal for winning the 2009 WSOP and the millions that go along with it, it is the atmosphere of being among the legends of poker, the history of the series and all the wonders of "Sin City" Las Vegas. Some of last year’s pacakage winners said:

“The Bodog party was awesome. I hung out with Charles Barkley for awhile and met Team Bodog pros David Williams and Evelyn Ng. That was cool.”
Anthony “Tsmizzle26” Smith of Edison, NJ

“The trip to the Grand canyon was great, although I wish we could’ve spent more time in the canyon. Chris was an excellent host as was everyone else representing Bodog.”
Adam Grovenstein of Dallas, TX

Start your trek to the Main Event today with the following online qualifiers(all times Eastern):

How to get in the Bodog 100k cheap! And a small field!

Poker_Player_US

Want to play the Bodog 100k guaranteed game and don’t have $109 laying around? How about if I give you a shot at it for just $5.50? What if I told you it would be a private forum game and the field would be very small? How about if I share the password to the game with you?

OK! I am a nice guy and I would love to set a record for the size of a private buy in at Bodog… And I would love to have one of the members of my forum win the grand prize in the 100k game! By the way, the winner has been bringing home a $25,000 paycheck in this game for some time now, why can’t that lucky player be you and with only a $5.50 investment. I like the odds on this one!

The only thing I ask is for you to go to the forum and set up a free membership. Once you are a member I am sure you will agree that we have a great group of poker playing friends, great cash added games and oh yeah we have private freerolls too! Not only do we have freerolls that are for all members, we also host freerolls for the members that play in our added cash buy in games! Some of the best freerolls ever played in online poker are Poker Player US buy in player freerolls. You see this way the serious poker player is there, not your average all in or fold donk! We have nearly a game every day of the week and give away more money than you can imagine each and every month! You see, “membership has is privileges”

Oops, almost forgot, I actually have two seats to give away to the Bodog $100,000 Guaranteed in two private poker games at Bodog Poker in November! Thank you for reading this far asnd as promised, here are the details for game one at Bodog this month:
