Sit n Go Races in December on Americas Cardroom

Here are the details of the New and Improved SnG Race which will start on December 1, 2013 on ACR

This is exactly as the Tournament Director on Americas Cardroom has described how it will work.

Please find below the details of our new SNG race:-

1. How to earn points-each time you pay $1 in fees, you will receive 5 race points. Please note that you will be paying no additional fees to participate in the Sit & Go race. Americas Cardroom is redistributing 24-26% approximately from the standard fees on all Sit & Gos back into the leader board where the players who earned the most points based on volume at the end of the month will receive the corresponding cash pay-out.

2. Start and Finish Time-Each Sit & Go race is a month long and begins on the 1st day of every month at 12 am and finishes the last day of every month at 12 am.

3. Qualifying Sit & Gos-Every type of Sit & Go earns points towards the race with the exception of Heads Up Sit & Gos. These include both On Demand Sit & Gos and Double or nothing Sit & Gos.

4. How to earn extra points-Early bird points will be rewarded for those players who are the first to enter On Demand tournaments. For example-In an 18 person On Demand tournament that requires 18 to start, those first 18 players will receive quadruple points. Those who register during the late registration period will receive double points.

5. Happy Hours-Certain hours of the day will qualify as Happy Hours in which players get double the normal points for all Sit & Gos played in that time frame. Happy Hours will be posted a week before each contest starts. ACR management reserves the right to add additional Happy Hours during a race with a week’s notice.

6. An example of a Sit & Go before and after the new race starts:-
Before – $100 Regular 9-Max with a $9 fee
After – $100 Regular 9-Max with a $6.75 fee with $2.25 going towards the leader board

What we think,

This is exactly what a lot of  low limit and casual players were looking for, a Sit n go contest where you have a chance to actually win something.

No additional rake will be taken from players to fund this race, the prize pool will be generated from the normal SNG fees paid….24 to 26% (of SNG fees) will be paid back as race winnings………

This will make playing SNG’s a even better value when you consider the value you are getting from the 100% Deposit Bonus offered on ACR…..

The On-Demand Tournament portion is an outstanding addition.

These are very popular tournaments that have drawn many players to ACR and the Winning Poker Network, mostly newer players and have given small limit players a “round the clock” tournament schedule that everyone can play.

This Promotion will award 4X and 2X points for players who elect early registration (4X) or even just play (2X) On Demand tournaments.

We do not know when the Happy Hours will be, my guess would be early mornings or early afternoons, but they will make earning points a little easier for players on-line at those times.

We will be adding more details as they become available and let you know thew latest as we get more information.

We can’t wait to see how this plays out, once players see the work in progress.

I think the action on the SNG room on ACR will be a lot more fun……..

Americas Cardroom Sit N Go Mania

Americas Cardroom Sit N Go’s

ACR has had many critics of their SNG offerings and SNG player traffic. Well, they are not sitting still and letting this specialized player niche be ignored.

To make Sit N Go’s the value their players are looking for,  ACR has lowered their buy-in fees on many of their SNG options. This is in addition to The $10,000 SNG MANIA

The $10K SNG Mania pays the top 125  finishers in the race their share of $10,000

The race runs the entire month of May. This is the second consecutive month it has run and word is it will continue indefinitely.

1st=$2000, 2nd=$750, 3rd $500, 4=$400, 5=$350, 6=$300, 7=$250 8-9=$200, 10-11=$150, 12-19=$100, 20-71=$50, 72-125=$25

How SNG Mania Points are calculated

Here’s how it works, sign -up and play in any ACR SNG and earn points to the race.  Points are calculated by taking the buy-in for each SNG, multiplied by the number of players and is then multiplied by 10% to get your points earned for that SNG.

Buy-in x total seats x 10% = SNG race points.

A $100 heads up SNG would be 100 x 2 x 10% =  20 SNG points

A $50 9 player would be 50 x 9 x 10% = 45 points

A $10 6 max would be 10 x 6 x 10% = 6 points

The points will add up quickly for anyone who specializes in SNG play.

How many points would win?

As of May 11, 2012 here are some of the SNG Mania Standings and payouts. (amount won if ended today)

1st place=12480 pts ($2000), 10th=1968 pts ($150), 12th to 19th ranged from 1863 pts to 1179 pts ($100), 71st=434 pts ($50), 125th=264 pts ($25).

These are not unreasonable totals for finishing in the Money.

SNG’s Available and Fees

All specialized Sit n go’s offer reduced fees of 7%, 8% or less.

Standard 9 player SNG’s: $100, $50, $30, $20, $15, $5, $3, $1.50 in Hold-em and Omaha (All standard fees)

Double or Nothing 10 player SNG’s:  $100+7, $50+3.50, $30+2.10, $20+1.40  only 7% fees.

Omaha 6 max: $3, $5, $10, $15, $20, $30 and $50.  Turbos and hyper turbos only have 9% fees for turbos and 8% fees for hyper turbos.

Heads up players these buy-ins and fees just can’t be beat!

That’s not all to consider, when you sign-up you get a 100% No Time Limit Bonus that clears at a rate of $1 per $5 in fees and lifetime 27% Rake back on the the other $4 paid ($5 fees – $1 bonus).

This means you are getting over 40% kicked back into your player account every week, for every game you play on Americas Cardroom. Any player who has about a break even or winning SNG game, can easily make a great deal of money on ACR

ACR has also been rated as the Top Cash-out Option for U.S. players 4 months running in 2012.

As Americas Cardroom builds on the SNG room, the games will start to fill quickly and you will find some very soft players that will  make you VERY SUCCESSFUL!
