The daily Poker Stars, Hawkings freeroll tournament is free to enter and the top 72 of 9,000 entrants win a ticket to a paying weekend tournament. The average player should win once in every 125 tournaments or 72/9,000. The above average player should win at a rate of less than 1/125.
The King capped today's limit hold 'em session with a 10¢ buy-in No Limit Hold 'em tournament and finished, after playing horribly, 80th place out 360 entries. He played T9 suited and KJ offsuit wrong by not jumping into the pot even tho the pot odds were favorable and the board was ragged and low. Only the top 36 finishers win money in these turbo tournaments. Turbo is a very fast moving tournament where the blinds rise rapidly.
Poker Stars catch phrase is "Micro- Mania" and there are 2¢ buy-in No Limit tournaments running at this moment. The King has played in just two No-Limit Hold 'em tournaments, so far, and both of them were 10¢ buy-ins. A 2¢ buy-in tournament is a great way to gain experience. No Limit Hold 'em is immensely popular online whether in ring games or tournaments.
