Hi there poker world !

Today I ‘ll inform you a little bit about the upcoming Spring Championship  of Online Poker for 2010 at PokerStars. Yours truly is of course in as well. You may remember that I’ve won 4 tournament tickets to play during the SCOOP 2010. I’ve won those during the WBCOOP earlier this year, as you could see at my site. I’ve a $11, $16.50, $22 and $ 33 tournament ticket so I can play at different stakes and levels. Hopefully I can cash at least once which will be a big benefit for my bankroll. Ok, I see you thinking. Of course I should say that I can WIN one, but my luck during coin flips at PokerStars hasn’t been of the highest calibre. Anyway I’m sticking to my smallball poker game plan! We’ll see…

Here are some facts and stats about the upcoming SCOOP, starting at May 2 and ending with the Main Event at May 16 :There is a total Guarenteed Prize Pool of $45,000,000 between the 38 Events. The lowest buy-in is $11 and the highest buy-in is $10,300.

This serie of tournaments is composed of many different poker variants, such as Hold’em, Omaha and Stud, and there are also the mixed games such as Horse and 8-Game. An other good thing about the SCOOP is definately the fact that every event have three different buy-in levels: Low, Medium and High. So really anyone can experience this event and maybe become a SCOOP-champion.

One event I’ll probably play is the 8-game. I’ve only played it once before at the WBCOOP and I immediately cashed. What a miracle it was because I didn’t even know than how every game should be played ! Maybe it’s perfect for me and it was a lot of fun also. There exists also a mix form, as they’ll never stop inventing new games. How can we learn a game for god sakes?!? The first time I’ve heard this 8 game Mix I didn’t think it had something to do with poker but this is How to play 8 Game Mix !

Hopefully I’ll see you at the SCOOP tables and beat your Aces !! I’ll report about my results and experiences during the SCOOP between the last names of my Most Famous Poker Player top-100.

Cheers,
