THE CHEAPEST OF THE CHEAP

Just how cheap is it to play MicroMillions? Well, of the 122 tournaments on the schedule, 34 have a buy-in of a mere $1.10. That’s about one third of the events. There are a few re-buy and re-entry events lurking in there, so there’s a chance it could end up costing you a tiny bit more. But those are optional, of course, and it really is just the buck-ten to get involved in all of the following:

Event #1: $1.10 NLHE [4-Max, 3-Stack], $3K Gtd

RARE VARIANTS

There are so many more games on offer on PokerStars than many people realise. (We took a look at them all not so long ago.) But it’s understandable if players don’t want to just leap right in for big bucks when playing an unfamiliar game. This is another reason why MicroMillions is so brilliant: you can learn a new variant in a real-life, well-populated tournament, but know that it won’t break the bank. So why not give Fusion, Showtime, Courchevel, Badugi, 8-Game or HORSE a try with the following events:

Event #7: $3.30 HORSE [Turbo], $5K Gtd
Event #9: $1.10 Fusion [6-Max, Progressive KO], $3K Gtd
Event #12: $1.10 Showtime NLHE [6-Max, Progressive KO], $5K Gtd
Event #17: $3.30 8-Game [Turbo], $3.5K Gtd
Event #24: $3.30 6+ Hold’em [6-Max], $8K Gtd
Event #32: $1.10 PL Courchevel, $4K Gtd
Event #37: $5.50 Showtime NLHE [6-Max], $15K Gtd
Event #55: $1.10 6+ Hold’em [6-Max, Progressive KO], $8K Gtd
Event #60: $3.30 HORSE, $5K Gtd
Event #65: $3.30 8-Game, $5K Gtd
Event #70: $3.30 PL Badugi, $3K Gtd
Event #73: $3.30 Fusion [6-Max], $3K Gtd
Event #83: $1.10 6+ Hold’em [6-Max], $3K Gtd

Event #119: $3.30 HORSE [Progressive KO], $5K Gtd

THINK YOU KNOW OMAHA? THINK AGAIN

Omaha is hardly an unusual variant, particularly pot-limit Omaha (PLO). But more recently players have been adding more cards to make this volatile game even more of a thrill. MicroMillions is all over the trend. Try these Omaha-ha-ha-ha variants:

Event #29: $1.10 5-Card PLO [6-Max, Turbo], $4K Gtd
Event #58: $3.30 5-Card NLO8 [6-Max, Progressive KO], $5K Gtd
Event #63: $3.30 5-Card PLO8 [8-Max, Progressive KO], $8K Gtd
Event #103: $1.10 6-Card PLO [5-Max, Turbo], $3K Gtd

REBUY HAPPY

For a particular kind of poker sadist, the first thing to do when looking at a tournament schedule is to type CTRL+F and “+R”. That will bring up the rebuy tournaments, where you can go absolutely mad for an hour or so knowing that no matter how many times you get knocked out, you can rebuy straight back in again. Rebuy tournaments are different from re-entries in as much as there’s no limit to the number of times you can get back in the action. It makes for some wild, fun play. Here are the MicroMillions rebuys:

Event #16: $5.50+R NLHE [6-Max, Daily Highlight], $60K Gtd
Event #21: $3.30+R NLHE [8-Max], $20K Gtd
Event #39: $1.10+R NLHE [Turbo, Zoom], $40K Gtd
Event #75: $1.10+R PLO [6-Max], $10K Gtd
Event #92: $3.30+R NLHE [6-Max, Turbo], $15K Gtd
Event #108: $1.10+R NLHE [Turbo, Zoom], $35K Gtd
