What’s the first thing you think of when you think of spring? The SCOOP at Pokerstars of course! With $45 million on the line, the Spring Championship of Online Poker might be the best thing to happen to spring time since chocolate eggs were invented.
If you aren’t familiar with the Pokerstars SCOOP, it’s a series of 38 tournaments played over a 14 day period, with prize pools ranging from $75,000 to $5,000,000. The best part about the 2010 Pokerstars SCOOP is the variety of tournaments and buy-in to choose from.
Satellites are running now, and the 2010 Pokerstars SCOOP series runs from May 2, 2010 through May 16th.
2010 SCOOP Tournament Choices
If you like Texas Hold’em, there are plenty of great tournaments to choose from. But, if you prefer Omaha, Stud, Razz, Mixed or Lowball games, you have plenty of choices as well. Check out Pokerstars for the 2010 SCOOP complete schedule.
Also, there are three different buy-in levels for each event. Whether you have a big bankroll or a tiny one doesn’t matter. 2010 SCOOP events come in small, medium and large, like french fries without the heart disease. In total, 114 tournaments will be played.
If your bankroll isn’t real beefy right now, you can play in most of the small tournaments for $5.50 – $22. Don’t let the small buy-ins fool you, these tournaments still have huge guaranteed prize pools as high as $1 million.
In the medium size events, most buy-ins range from $55 – $215, with prize pools up to $3 million.
The biggest version of each tournament have buy-ins from $530 – $2100, with a few that are even bigger. The main event gives players a shot at a $5 million prize pool and $1 million for the top player. Win this and forget about the shitty economy.
