1. How To Play the Australian(and New Zealand Poker League)
The Australian and New Zealand Poker League is a new tournament for players betting in the
lower stakes. PokerStars, one of the most trusted online poker rooms set up the game that is
only accessible to the Aussies and the Kiwis. The game, also known as the ANZPL, entails three
levels of buy-ins including 2000 chips free, and a cost of AUS $5.
The series of tournaments will play for standard prizes and will gain points that are counted
toward leader boards for each month. At the month’s end, the players who attain the top 100
points will be rewarded a handsome payout by PokerStars.
At the AUS $5 stake level, the major prize is a clean $300. All players with 100 points will
receive up to $10 each every month. The playing chip level earns players up to $2 in hard cash.
All the nightly games will contribute to the prize pool and the monthly leader boards grow in
value, courtesy of PokerStars.
The ANZPL tournament is essentially a daily game that entails low buy ins. The highest finishers
with certain league points are awarded. There are also attractive cash prizes to be won at the
end of each month, thanks to PokerStars.
While the new tournaments will take place during the Australian primetime, they are generally
soft ones and could be great for the fresh faces. For the more experienced player, it could offer
a great opportunity to pad your bankroll. Every division of the tournament has a daily
tournament of its own.
Players can look up the ranking of all three divisions at the main PokerStars website. PokerStars
awards up to AUS $300, $100 and $40 to all monthly winners in all the three divisions in the
tournament, respectively. PokerStars gives away an estimated $4,000 every month.
The Australian and New Zealand Poker League takes place at almost concurring times of the
day. How can an Aussie player increase their winning chances? It is possible to play all the three
divisions at the same time. PokerStars does not place any prohibition on playing and winning in
all three divisions.
A good strategy for players would be to aim for higher points so they can attain the top 100 in
the three divisions. These means you will receive the monthly payout for all the three levels. It
is also a good idea to aim at reaching the final table in each game; this is where you can garner
the most league points.
