Titan Poker Tournaments
Titan Poker is an interesting website for tournaments because of the fact that it is extremely underrated. To be underrated, a website needs to have tournament offerings that are much higher in quality than they are given credit for. If you take a look closely at what Titan Poker Tournaments has to offer in terms of tournaments, you will see right away that underrated is absolutely the right word to use.
The first thing worth noting about Titan Poker is their Sunday tournament. Most of the major online poker websites have a large Sunday tournament that is often looked at as being the marquis scheduled tournament of the week. With Poker Stars, it is the Sunday Million tournament and with Titan Poker it is also a scheduled tournament that takes place on Sunday. The main drawback to the tournament is that it does not have the same large prize pool as the one on Poker Stars, but it has other advantages that arguably allow it to make up for that flaw.
For starters, the guaranteed prize pool still places the overall prize pool of the Titan Poker tournament in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and that is something that is very impressive indeed. When you take that fact and add it to the general underrated nature of this tournament, what you will realize is that a lot of the great online tournament players that you would see at the Sunday Million do not play in this tournament. This makes it easier to win and therefore in the grand scheme of things probably has a higher expected value in your specific case than the Sunday Million would, even though it has a larger prize pool. In poker, it is more about what you can expect to win than what is available and for the average poker player, the Titan Poker Sunday tournament is a lot better in that regard.
Another somewhat counterintuitive measure of tournament success has to do with the players that are available to play in a given tournament. When you are dealing with scheduled tournaments that start at a specific time no matter how many players are registered to play in them, you actually want lower traffic counts, especially if the prize pool is guaranteed. That makes it easier to wade through to the prizes and maybe even snag one of the top three spots where the payouts tend to increase by a significant amount of money relative to the overall prize pool. This, put together with the issue of player strength, is actually why the Poker Stars Sunday Million is actually one of the worst tournaments for a person to play if they are new to the game and why the one available at Titan Poker is an excellent one for everyone involved.
What makes Titan Poker even better is that their traffic counts are perfect for tournaments. They are low enough that you get some easy wins at the scheduled tournaments and high enough that you only have to wait a few minutes for sit and go tournaments to fill. Few websites have that ideal traffic range, but Titan Poker and by extension the iPoker Network is one of them.
