Lucky Ace Poker Tournaments

Lucky Ace Poker belongs to one of the leading online poker networks in the world – the 888 Poker Group. As such, members of its site rubs shoulders with players who have migrated onto the network from 888.coms´ casino enterprises, Littlewoods football pools and the Racing Post web site – not particularly strong pedigrees for the skills and patience required to be a successful multi-table tournament player – and therefore the network has acquired the reputation for very weak “fishy” opposition.

As the network no longer allows players from the US to use its site, the majority of the action takes place during the European evening both on the ring tables and in the tournaments.

Outside of Texas Hold´em, there is very little tournament action in other games, but players who enjoy acquiring value from their games will be glad to know that many of the opportunities on Lucky Ace Poker are substantially undersubscribed.

Regular games are comprised of a mixture of regular low entry multi-table tournaments – often freezeout guaranteed games – a wide selection of freerolls available to new members and qualifiers to the network´s Daily Challenge Series.

Tournaments in any depth commence from mid-day (UK time) and start to tail off around 10.00pm. Low entry tournament games up to $5.00 + $0.50 are normally guaranteed to 100x the stake (so, a $3.00 + $0.30 guarantees $300.00 prize fund) and usually pay out to the top ten players.

Beyond that level, there are a few games each evening with a $5.000 guarantee that have a $20.00 + $2.00 buy-in, and the Monday Twins Tournament – two innovative tournaments run within 30 minutes of each other with a potential $10.000 bonus for winning both!

For consistent multi-table tournament players, the Daily Challenge represents excellent value. Comprising of a different headline competition every day, not only are the final events frequently undersubscribed, but so too the satellite events.

For example, Tuesdays Challenge is a $12.500 NLHE freezeout with a $100 + $9 buy-in, however just two hours before this game, there is a $21 + $2 satellite with 15 seats guaranteed for the final event.

This scenario continues throughout the week until the Sunday $50.000 Gtd Challenge, which has a buy-in of $75 + $5, is preceded by a $16 qualifier – again guaranteeing 15 seats, and often not attracting the 75 paying entrants it needs to make the qualifier viable to the site.

In terms of the loose standard of play and regular value to be acquired in guaranteed and “Challenge” tournaments, Lucky Ace Poker has to be one of the best poker sites to get involved with.
