Value, Value, Value - Poker in a nutshell

Browsing through some of the Guaranteed Events on offer at Spin32 it is easy to see why so many players are choosing to play there and stick, because what players are looking for is Value - and with tournaments such as the $5,000 GTD with one Rebuy and one Addon and the $50,000 with just a $109 buy-in, players are getting so much more value than at the big powerhouse sites, where tournaments commonly have thousands of players and end up in a crapshoot mentality.

With events like these at Spin32 poker players can regain the sort of edge that in the past was what made them play poker in the first place. Being able to optimise your skill as a poker player and not have to rely upon luck, having to win a coinflip to survive every blind level, it gives real players a sense of why they play poker in the first place, to pit their skill over another poker player.

With events like the $50,000 GTD event players are really able to harness the sort of skills that makes the difference between winning and losing in the long term. So rather than playing a field of thousands, in which your edge is drastically reduced, there is so much more value as a player to play at Spin32 and use the skills that turned you onto poker in the first place, and in these tournaments it really will win you the game.

The GTD tournaments on offer at Spin32 are created for real poker players with a view to winning in the long term and making the most of the value on offer at a poker room like SPin32.

Who's the Best?

Recently ESPN listed the top 10 poker players. It seems like a pretty subjective thing to do, considering there are so many variables involved, however within the list they seem to have really made the right choices.

If anyone was asked who The Greatest Player today is, the majority would answer: Phil Ivey. And there would be good reasons to do so. Having recently reached a WSOP final table, getting knocked out by the novice Darvin Moon with AK vs Moon's AQ, and certified as one of the most successful high stakes cash players in the work, Ivey has secured his place in the poker history, and he stands to be one of the youngest inductees into the Poker Hall of Fame.

Another all-around consummate professional who staked his claim to poker legend status last year is Jeffery Lisandro. When thinking of the question of luck vs skill, Lisandro pretty much wrapped up the argument when he proved that on a good day a skilled player can have a real edge - since he took down three events in the WSOP 2009.

This is an incredible feat, and considering the huge fields in these events it is nothing short of miraculous.

There are a lot of opportunities to earn your way into these events for next to nothing, you don't need Ivey or Lisandro bankrolls. At Spin32 you can parlay your way to WSOP stardom for just a few dollars.

Winning just one WSOP events will establish your standing in the poker world and propel you to the sort of professionalism of Ivey and Lisandro.

Hitting a big one

The dream of most poker players is to won one big tournament early in their career. With such a variety of Multi Table Tournaments available online and offline there are now more and more players who win a big tournament and have the chance to go pro.

Chris Moneymaker is largely responsible for the waves of young guns hoping to win first prize in an esteemed tournament like an EPT, WPT or WSOP. The ultimate prize is obviously the World Series of Poker, not only because of the unmatched prizepool but also for the pure prestige of winning this event.

But players do not need to rely on winning one of the big buy in tournaments anymore, since there is so much on offer at online poker rooms. Each Sunday it is worth browsing the amazing prize pools in the week's Big Event on most sites. Every week there are new casual players who turn semi-pro, literally overnight.

At Spin32 we offer some of the most valuable opportunities to qualify into one of the heavyweight events like the WPT or WSOP, as qualifying events are run daily and offer some incredible value when juxtaposed with the powerhouse sites, where players must beat thousands of players to secure a seat.

Try and play a couple of satellites and see if you are one of the new Moneymakers about to make poker history.
