Hello Dear Players,
Older pokerstars players know that $0.02 tournaments for 990 people have long since disappeared from the lobby.
Do you have any alternative to this tournament? Is it worth playing a tournament for 45 people for $0.25?
Please share your favorite Sit&Go or regular micro stakes tournaments.

Hello. That tournament was nothing special. There was no joy in winning. It's also not worth playing these $0.25 tournaments because they are very absorbing and it's a waste of time. Even if someone is a perfect winner, it's still a waste of life to play these tournaments. I'm of the opinion that for low buy-in fees it is not worth following the bankroll management rules. A better solution is to even give up one party and from this make deposit $20 and immediately play recreational bounty bouilder tournaments with example bui-in $1.1 or 3.3$.

Olá queridos jogadores,
Os jogadores mais antigos do PokerStars sabem que os torneios de $0,02 para 990 pessoas há muito desapareceram do lobby.
Você tem alguma alternativa para este torneio? Vale a pena jogar um torneio para 45 pessoas por US$ 0,25?
Por favor, compartilhe seus Sit&Go favoritos ou torneios regulares de micro apostas.
And I'm from that time kkkk

I play the 45 players tournaments for 0,25$ from time to time but in my opinion there are too few players and too few hands to see to be able to make use of your skills. It's more luck. Maybe in the long run you can make it profitable but it would be quite difficult. I really enjoyed our CC freerolls as with a Little bit of skills you could reach the money quite regularly. At this moment mayby 0,55$ Bounty builder or hot turbos would be a better alternative.

I used to play those $0.10 of 360 players a lot. I made +$35 playing $0.10 mtts 😅

IMO, there's no good option for less than $0.50. I'd play the Hot $0.55.

Can't say I remember these. Don't think much of the freerolls but at one time they were even worse. You had to reach the final table to quality then reach the final table in the second tournament to win. I made the final table once, it took 5 hours or more, and that was it.

if we consider it as an alternative, then there are tournaments for 0.25 dollars on gg)) tbilders... and you can play on the stars, spin and go. or win a ticket to poyer path, and advance to the stages... pokerstars have become such a bad room that there is not much choice, and they shove these tickets everywhere, so here's an alternative for you))

Yes, it's really worth playing the 0.25 of 45 players but you have to make volume, if you have a short bankroll I recommend playing the 0.25 ones and then when you go up a little also put some 0.50 turbo and always making the game volume within your screen limit that you can play, that's what I did when I deposited and it worked to increase my bankroll

friend, if you look at the regular sit in go 0.25 and see their history you will see that they are very profitable, and a tournament like any other will have bad and good players and you have to take advantage of that

The 0.25 sit in go will give you a profit in first place 12X your buy in correct? just like the 0.50 sites will yield the same 12X, and the 1 dollar ones will also yield the same 12x your buy in, so it's math if you have a short bankroll, play the 0.25 ones, it's worth it to increase the bankroll and then increase the buy in little by little, you will have moments of variation and if you play buy in outside your limit it will break your bankroll so have bankroll management even at small limits

I think it's worth it .. soft field and I usually finish in the last 10 players.

As others have said already, I dont quite understand the purpose of playing a tournament for 2c or for that matter 10c. The money, you can potentially win, is completely insignificant. And if you are just playing for fun, why not go to the play money tables instead? Or play freerolls. If you are going to play for real money and take poker seriously, then for me the journey should begin at $1 games or higher. Which require an initial deposit of 50-100$.

Low-value games are good for beginners to get used to all kinds of crazy things that other beginning players commit, and to try to increase their bankroll.
But I think that's all they're good for, once you get a bigger crowd, never even look at those games again.

If you have 2 1/2 hours to spent you could play these 0.25$ sngs , maybe play many , 4-10 , at the same time while you play some other higher buy in tourneys or sats or some freebuys . But don't expect to win big from these sngs . If you beat the 0.25$ stake , move up to 0.5$ then higher sng stakes . Then you might be able to win sth decent .

I would rather play tournaments if, of course, you have the time and desire to play them with more prize money and can spend time usefully playing your favorite game for a very long time and making good money. Go to tournaments so you will spend less money and play more poker

I remember those!!! Wow, such a long time and good memories from those times!
I got 1st place in one of these when I was a beginner, but I don't remember if 1st place got $2.20 or $3.30 actually. They were crazy tournaments!! I was a teenager when I played these, in a account that I don't even have anymore, when I should not be playing at all.

Diversity of games was amazing back in these days. I would like to PokerStars to become bigger again, maybe they would bring some games they dropped, like turbo and regular Heads-up SnGs and more micro mixed games.
