Huge Overlay on CEREUS

February 27th, 2011 Comments off

We have a great value in a multi table tournament on the CEREUS Poker Network. The 50K guaranteed is starting now and there is over a $20k overlay. Late registration is available until 7:45 PM EST. At the start of the tournament there were only 147 players for a $200 buy in. That’s only $29,400 in the prize pool but it is a 50K guaranteed.

The poker sites on the CEREUS Network include Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet. If you need to fund your account both are poker sites that accept echecks so you can get your deposit approved quickly and take advantage of this opportunity.

Want Super Fast Tournaments?

February 11th, 2011 Comments off

If you like playing sit’n go’s and want to play at fast blind levels look for ultra turbo tournaments. In ultra turbo tournaments the blind levels increase every 2-3 minutes, speeding up the tournament. Many online poker sites offer turbo multi tournaments, but if your looking for fast sit’n go’s we have a few recommendations for you.

The top two USA online poker site we recommend for ultra turbo tournaments are Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet. They offer ultra turbo tournaments where the blind levels increase every 2.5 minutes.

We really like ultra turbo tourneys when playing head’s up, but will usually only play turbo tournaments (5 minute blind increases) when playing at a full seated table. When playing at a full seated table (6-10 players) in an ultra turbo the blinds go up almost to fast.

At Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet ultra turbo tournaments are offered heads up, 4, 6 and 9 seated. The selection is very good with buy-ins ranging from $.10 to $550 and everything in between. A great advantage to playing at these two sites is that the fee’s for ultra turbo tourneys is very low, lower than standard sit’n go’s. For example a $35 buy-in only charges $1.50 in fee’s. That’s only 5% of the buy-in verses the standard 10%.

Site traffic for ultra turbo tournaments is very good here because of the low fee’s and great selection. For more information on these two great US poker sites, see the full Absolute Poker Review and Ultimate Bet Review. You wont be disappointed with these two sites. They have great software, a bad beat jackpot and both offer deposit by eCheck.

Quick Deposit Instant eChecks

February 10th, 2011 Comments off

Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet have changed their eCheck processor to Quick Deposit. They now use the same processor as the USA online poker giant FullTilt.

We feel this is a good move for AP and UB as Quick Deposit is a premier processor. The process of making a deposit by eCheck becomes even easier and the eCheck limits are raised with the move. This also allows withdraws by eCheck that are back in your account generally within 3 business days.

Have we stated many times, eChecks are the best way for USA residents to deposit to poker sites. They are free of charge, fast, easy and the funds are available immediately for use.

See a full listing of poker sites that accept eChecks and start playing online poker today.

Its a bit unbelievable but the bad beat jackpot on the Merge Poker Network still hasn’t been hit. The jackpot is now over $462,000! That’s some serious coin for the winner.
