PartyPoker revamped its multi-table tournament schedule earlier this month, adding over 600 more tournaments throughout the week. Many of those new tournaments fall under the umbrella of Super Micro ($0.11-$0.49) and Micro ($0.50-$4.99) buy-in levels, with tons of the newly added tournaments featuring a progressing knockout format.
Online poker is not only about playing for the highest stakes and reeling in huge bankroll-boosting bounties. Online poker is for everyone, which is why PokerNews took a look at the best progressive knockout and bounty tournaments you can play at PartyPoker for under $5.
The Hyper-Turbo Bounty Battle
PartyPoker's Bounty Battle tournaments several times per day, every day, and are the perfect way to test the PKO waters. A mere $0.11 is the cheapest Bounty Battle you can play, giving you a chance to play in a progressive knockout tournament without risking too much of your bankroll. Of course, playing in an $0.11 buy-in tournament is not going to yield large prizes, but each tournament at this level features a guaranteed prize pool of between $10 and $25.
Most of the Bounty Battle events play to a hyper-turbo blind structure, although there is a handful that is standard turbos. The shorter-than-usual clock, coupled with basement buy-ins, results in action that is fast, furious, and a whole lot of fun. Enter a Pot-Limit Omaha Bounty Battle if you fancy some insane action!
Bounty Battles comes with buy-ins of $0.11, $0.22, $0.33, $0.55, $1.10, $2.20, and $3.30. Those of you looking for the largest guarantees in this format need to jump into the $3.30 Bounty Battle 6-Max Hyper at 6:45 p.m. GMT or the $3.30 Bounty Battle 7-Max Turbo at 7:45 p.m. GMT because they guarantee a prize pool of at least $300.
Gear Up For the Bounty Hunter Tournaments
The Bounty Hunter tournaments are strikingly similar to the Bounty Battles, although they also feature events that play to a standard blind structure. Even the buy-ins are the same, ranging from a very affordable $0.11 and increasing to $3.30, with a whole host of levels between those two extremes.
As you would expect, the biggest guarantees are reserved for the $3.30 buy-in level games. You can battle it out for a slice of a guaranteed $500 every night at 10:00 p.m. GMT in the $3.30 Bounty Hunter 7-Max, and for a share of the $600 guaranteed pot at 11:15 p.m. GMT in the $3.30 Bounty Hunter 8-Max Turbo.
The Daily Legends Have the Biggest Prize Pools
It is the PKO editions of the Daily Legends that you want if you are hunting down the largest prize pools. These exciting PKO tournaments come with buy-ins of $0.55, $1.10, $2.20, and $3.30, and boast guarantees starting at $100 and increasing to a cool $1,000.
All PartyPoker Daily Legends feature the best blind structures, have reduced late registration periods, and limited re-entries, making for a fantastic progressive knockout experience. The $0.55 to $3.30 Daily Legends PKO come in 6-Max, 7-Max, and 8-Max formats, and run from 12:05 p.m. GMT through to 2:05 a.m. GMT every day.
The two biggest guaranteed tournaments are the $3.30 Daily Legends 8-Max PKO at 6:05 p.m. GMT and the $2.20 Daily Legends 8-Max PKO at 7:05 p.m. GMT; they come with $1,000 guarantees.
There are Some Awesome $5.50 Games to Consider
Although PokerNews looked at PartyPoker PKO tournaments costing less than $5, there are some superb $5.50 buy-in bounty tournaments you should consider checking out. They have guarantees of $150-$500 during the early hours, but the evening's games have $2,000, $2,500, and $3,000 guaranteed amounts, with The Super $5.50 on Sunday boasting $7,500 guaranteed!
