Whether you're a SNG grinder who only plays the occasional large-field tournament, or an MTT whiz who's 24-tabling every Sunday, everyone has a favourite.

What's YOUR favourite tournament?

Maybe you love the iPoker $200,000 gtd because you can always satellite in; maybe you love the PokerStars Sunday Storm for the small buy-in and big prizes; maybe there's a $5 rebuy on the Ongame network you once won.

Whatever the case, tell us about it - what tournament is your favourite, and why?

Win a one month status upgrade!

Everyone who posts their favourite tournament in the next week will be entered into our raffle, and three members will win a one-month PokerStrategy.com status upgrade.

You must make your post before 23:59 CET on Thursday, October 31 to be considered for our raffle.

To help your fellow members and keep the thread clear we ask you to use the following template (format/guarantee optional):

[B]Tournament name:[/B]
[B]Site/network:[/B]
[B]Buy-in:[/B]
[B]Format:[/B]
[B]Guarantee:[/B]
[B]This is my favourite tournament because...[/B]

I'll get things started ♠_cool:

Tournament name: Saturday Splash
Site/network: PokerStars
Buy-in: $2.22
Format: Rebuy/Add-on
Guarantee: $100,000
This is my favourite tournament because... it's a fun, large-field turbo; rebuys are great and with a $2.22 buy-in you can drop dozens of buy-ins like Daniel Negreanu on crack; oh, and one time I final tabled it; ask KTU ♠_biggrin: - fond memories <3

Tournament name: Sunday Storm
Site/network: PokerStars
Buy-in: $11
Format: Normal
Guarantee: $300,000
This is my favourite tournament because... it's a tournament with a huge field, a very small buy-in, and lots of bad players because of the incredible guarantee. Even though I've never been able to cash big in it (aside of a few small cashes), it's always a tournament I look forward to playing because it's fun :)

Get posting guys :f_cool:

It's a fun way to goof off. After a long day taking poker seriously it brings me joy to get into one of these luckbox fests and all-in my way to defeat.

Tournament name: 5000 eur GTD + R
Site/network: Microgaming
Buy-in: 5.5 eur + Rebuys
Format: MTT normal
Guarantee: 5000eur
This is my favourite tournament because... because its not a big field tournament ( about 400 players), plus its pretty deepstacked, so its easy to use edge against weak players. By the way there are a lot of weak players

Tournament name: Timed 15 minute tournaments
Site/network: PokerStars
Buy-in: $1,10 to $3,30
Format: Turbo, 3 levels
Guarantee: prize field is split based on your stack size
This is my favourite tournament because... there is great value in these tourneys. Wait for premium hands and push with them. There are a ton of donkeys at these tourneys who push with utter trash.

Guarantee: 60k
This is my favourite tournament because...
It had a huge field with lots of bad players spewing chips and u can get a huge stack. You can also register really late and just addon and you get 30k chips on 3k blinds after addon. I really like playing fast and shortstacked tournament.

Tournament name: 'Game of the Week'
Site/network: FTP
Buy-in: $109
Format: varies every week
Guarantee: $10k
This is my favourite tournament because... the sats are usually great value, and I enjoy the challenge and change of scene when playing different games, also some opportunities for learning from observing/analysing expert opponents' plays

Site/network: PokerStars
Buy-in: $11
Format: Normal
Guarantee: $300,000
This is my favourite tournament because... I usually buy the buy-in with 700 FPP and the guaranteed prize is HUGE! Player pool is very weak..

it has a good format that I like, a very good prize in terms of the low buyin, a huge player pool and therefor a lot of fishy players in it. I never shipped it but that is one of my lifetime goals to ship it once. One time! :f_biggrin:

It's easy to get a seat via the satellites and the player pool is quite weak. It's a good tourney to have a relax sunday, watching the NFL and knocking off donkeys!

Tournament name: $1.10+R NL Hold'em [3x-Turbo]
Site/network: PokerStars
Buy-in: $1.10+R
Format: Turbo (3x-Turbo)
Guarantee: 60K
This is my favourite tournament because... you can turn on auto-double rebuy and shove 100% of hands for an hour and a half (yeah, you know what I'm talking about!), you can reach FT with just double rebuy+addon on the break, and you can even single rebuy+addon and still make a ~15k profit in less than 6h. It can make you laugh and it can make you go bananas. Not recommended for the faint of heart, unless you really love bananas.

Tournament name: Sunday Million
Site/network: PokerStars
Buy-in: $215
Format: Deep
Guarantee: $1m
This is my favourite tournament because... it is THE Sunday major. I've only played it a handful of times (when I've qualified) and it's just really awesome to compete vs. the top top players online. I've never managed to cash it yet so that's my big hope for my next entry!
