Weekend Action on the Pokerstars Ontario Virtual Felt

The weekend is full of action on PokerStars Ontario. Starting Friday night, the operator has added value to the schedule with special games that run only once per week. More than $150,000 is added to the weekend schedule through the marquee weekend games.

Friday Night Lights

Friday night kicks off with more than $15k in added guarantees, including a few versions of the Friday Battle and Fat Friday to kick things off. The Friday games start at $20 for the Mini Friday Battle and go up to $100.

The best value, by far, on Friday is the Mini Friday Battle. For $20, players get a shot at $3,500 in guaranteed prizes, which is $175 of value for every dollar of buy-in. The main Friday Battle is also a pretty good bet with a 65x value ratio.

Sunday Funday

Sunday is where the action is for online poker, and PokerStars Ontario is no exception. Most of the added weekend value is back-loaded to Sunday with the highest value and biggest guaranteed games.

The best and the brightest of the weekend games is the Sunday Special. With $400 guaranteed for every $1 of buy-in, the Sunday Special is far and away the best value of the weekend, but it is also the biggest game, with $40,000 guaranteed for just $100.

At the other end of the buy-in scale, but just below the Sunday Special in value, is the Sunday Storm. At just $10, it is the lowest-priced weekend special, but the $2,800 guarantee makes it the second-best value of the entire weekend.

Game Time Buy-In Guarantee Value
Sunday Marathon 11:05 $50 $2,000 $40
Sunday Starter 12:05 $100 $3,000 $30
