The Best Mid Limit Online Tournaments


Site: PartyPoker
Tournament: Regular NLH
Buy-In: $30 $3
Time: Daily, 7pm (UK time)
Panel Verdict: This is a good intermediate tourney with the chance to win a decent prize if you get into the money. Remember, since the US legislature brought in the new anti-online gambling legislation Party doesn't allow Americans to play on its site. However, the site attracts its fair share of fish and as ever you need to keep a close eye on the game to determine who they are. Remember to keep detailed player notes.

Site: PokerStars
Tournament: $35,000 Guaranteed
Buy-In: $10 $1 rebuys add-on
Time: Daily, 9.45pm (UK time), 4.45pm (ET)
Panel Verdict: Now you're going for the higher prizes and this is a great daily tournament to have a crack at, ideally timed for the European market. Arm yourself with at least four or five rebuys to make sure you have enough firepower to take you through the first period. The winner of this normally bags about $12,000 which is a nice pay-day.

Site: UltimateBet
Tournament: $25,000 Guaranteed
Buy-In: $40 $4 freezeout
Time: Daily, 6pm (UK time), 1pm (ET)
Panel Verdict: Don’t be put off by the fact the Guarantee is smaller and the buy-in larger than the above tourneys. Remember, it’s a freezeout rather than a re-buy so $40 (plus a $4 fee) is all it’s going to cost you. You get fewer players in this tournament, a slower structure, and therefore a consequently higher chance of cashing if you’re a good, solid player. We’re big fans of this tournament.

Site: Dream Poker
Tournament: $45,000 Guaranteed (NLH)
Buy-In: $25 $2
Time: Wednesdays, 8pm (UK Time)
Panel Verdict: The prize pool will attract plenty of players on Dream Poker but the timing means you're more likely to be up against European rather than American players. The buy-in is relatively low given the zize of the guaranteed prize pool.
