Returning to the Grind: Embracing the MicroMillions 2024 at PokerStars
The Micro Millions poker series is making a grand return to PokerStars, and it’s bringing with it an astounding $4 million in guaranteed prize pools. The 2024 edition of the ever-popular MicroMillions will see 208 affordable events take place from July 7th to 21st. As always mixed poker games are abundant including the return of Fusion. My favorite Pot Limit Badugi is also making an outing.
Micro Millions 2024 Affordable for All
The events start from as low as $1.10 and top out at a still affordable $55. However, don’t let the low buy-ins fool you—there’s plenty of money to be won. The smallest guaranteed prize pool during the series is $1,500, and five events boast six-figure guarantees, including the $500,000 guaranteed MicroMillions Main Event.
Last year’s Main Event, a $22 buy-in progressive knockout tournament, attracted 27,863 entrants and generated a $557,260 prize pool. This year’s Main Event promises to be just as thrilling, with the same $22 buy-in and $500,000 guaranteed. The cards will be in the air from 6:05 p.m. BST on July 21st, with late registration open for three hours and five minutes. Players can re-enter up to five times if they lose their 25,000 starting stack during this period.
My Journey Back to Mixed Games
I must admit, I feel kinda guilty for having ignored mixed games over the last five years. The reason? Time constraints. I spent 4.5 years as an ACR stormer, dedicating myself to promoting ACR Poker. My streaming schedule often started early in the morning, right after dropping my youngest son, Daniel, at school. By the time the MicroMillions came around, I was usually exhausted. Although I did participate in a few events, I had minimal success due to my lack of passion and energy. Streaming as a stormer was a full-time job that left little room for anything else.
Now, I’m back on the grind, but with a much better balance. As a full-time editor for TopPokerStreamers, I can enjoy playing poker in my spare time without it feeling like a job. This setup allows me to relish the game more and rekindle my competitive spirit.
Goals for MicroMillions 2024
This year, I am diving headfirst into the MicroMillions. I plan to create a lot of content, including blogging, YouTube videos, hand reviews, and possibly even entire session reviews. My primary goal is to make it to a final table—a feat I’ve achieved twice in 8-Game, finishing 4th both times. Of course, winning a MicroMillions title would be the ultimate dream, but I’m taking it one step at a time.
I’ll be sharing my journey throughout the series, keeping you all updated with my progress, insights, and experiences. The MicroMillions 2024 is set to be an exhilarating adventure, and I can’t wait to see where it takes me. Stay tuned for more updates and take care!
