Site: Dream Poker
Tournament: $2,000 Guaranteed
Buy-In: $3 £0.50
Panel Verdict: An ideal tournament for players to get used to the style and skills needed to succeed in MMTs. You can expect between 200 and 250 runners for this tournament as that's been the typical field in recent weeks. The buy-in is low, which will attract plenty of beginners, but the guaranteed prize pool makes it worth your while giving this tournament a go.
