  • The Big Game

    A great thing about supporting American poker online on PokerStars is that you frequently play versus all sorts of people from across the globe. This can be very interesting because players from different countries can play very differently, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse! When you get sick losing your money to Russian players, though, you can look into the region-specific MTTs that the site sometimes hosts. I’ll show you what I mean by introducing “The Big Game”, a recent promotion going on this month for Canadian and American poker online enthusiasts. This opportunity is perfect for those looking to get their 15 minutes of fame!

    The PokerStars Big Game is a special cash game in Las Vegas that is televised nationwide. If you make it on to the show, PokerStars will give you $100,000 to use to play Texas Hold Em hands versus select poker pros. It’s not surprising to learn that you want to win as much money as you can because when everything is said and done, you get to keep all the profit you make.

    You can get on The Big Game by entering free satellites on the king of play money poker sites, PokerStars.net. The free events were originally scheduled to happen until June 25th, but it looks like there are still satellites showing up in the lobby. Even if the satellites are still running, the rules are the same: the top 300 players from each freeroll get to play Round 2. If you win a top 1k spot in Round 2, you get to participate in the final qualifier, Round 3.

    It’ll be tough, but your goal is to place in the top 200 of Round 3 so that you have the chance to send the top dogs at PokerStars a casting video. The casting video you make should tell the judges what makes you worthy of The Big Game. And while you’re at it, it wouldn’t hurt to tell them that you think PokerStars is among the highest quality poker sites for USA citizens online today! If you can impress them, you’ll be invited to be on the show.

    This new TV show is a great opportunity for a normal person to transform into a famous poker professional in less than a week. One thing to consider, however, is that despite qualifying for The Big Game by participating in satellite tournaments, on the TV show you’re actually going to play a ring game. If you have more experience with your slot machine download than on ring tables, you’re going to want to practice some cash before you fly to Vegas. Luckily for you, PokerStars is a great place to play pretty much any type of poker!
