PokerStars Sunday Million

[msaban]

Just looking at the Sunday Million lobby on PokerStars.

Tonights prize pool is a massive $1,425,800.00, with the winner scheduled to get over $200K depending on final table deals.

Cost of entry into this tourney is $215 direct buyin or win one of the many sat's on offer.

However the field has over 7000 runners and with blinds up every 15 minutes, is it more like a freeroll than a serious game.If you get to the edge of the payouts, you make an extra $70 on top of the buy in fee, which at the current rate will take about 4 hours to get to, the final table in the past has taken approx 12hours.

Nice to win, but is it worth stumping up for directly ?

I've been playing the 3am Mansion 100,000 gtd, and have been very disappointed with the structure...... but with in the region of 500 runners, there is $50,000 added - if you're prepared to be up through the night, I'd prefer this (still a crapshoot, but good value added!!!)

The Sunday million at Pokerstars holds the dream, but if it's a crapshoot and if there's no overlay and if it takes all night (literally!!) then as you say, what's the point?

Mike -

There is the European One now at a more attractive time (GaF has put a post up somewhere about it ). Its Guaranteed $250k, so a little watered down from the million, but better for us time wise.

PS Nice to see the Man-Flu has gone

Hi Martyn

Thanks, shame I missed friday.

Ive played in the other one before -The Sunday Warm Up. Its basically very similar, just not as big a field.

I think my point is, that PokerStars gears upto this tourney all week, but with that size of field a lot of luck is needed to get anywhere close.I suspose its the online equivalent of the WSOP main event.

I would say that it'd be nice to play in once, for the experience but if there really is that many runners then you're right, it is more like a prima freeroll than a proper tourney.

Shame really.
