PokerStars has announced the 5th installment of their popular MicroMillions festival, between July 18-28. The series features 100 events with buy-ins as low as $0.11 but prize pools as big as $1 million. The combined guaranteed prize pool is once again $5 million, however last time the series was so popular the final prize pool was an amazing $9,588,892.60. MicroMillions is one of the most popular online festivals on PokerStars because it features buy-ins everyone can afford, but prize pools to die for.

Always liked micromillions to be honest ( specially when getting free tickets to play some events ) For such low buy-ins one can really get a nice return if running deep. Usually it's also a donkfest i'm afraid but if your cards hold a couple of hands, then it actually works in your advantage later on to get a few bingo queen that are not afraid to double you up. Let's hope i dont blow my roll on stars till this starts

just like lukasb i'm waiting for some free tickets (deposit/reload bonus), usually stars offer sth like $3.30 ticket for $20 deposit. if this is the case this year then i'm definitely in. otherwise no real value in those tourneys, unless you're in through satellites, huge donkfest still due to huge fields and relatively fast structure...thinking of having a go at one of zoom tourneys

I will for sure have a close look at the tourney schedule and try to play some of them, depending on my free time for playing poker. Unfortunately I won´t be able to play in the Main Event (because I am on holiday - which is for sure also nice)
