High Stakes Poker

Looking for high stakes poker games?  There are a number of poker rooms where you can regularly find high stakes poker games and poker tournaments.

Some of the best high stakes Las Vegas poker tournaments and games can be found at the Bellagio, Palms, Mirage, and Binion's Horseshoe among others.  The Bellagio, for example, has weekly $500 and $1,000 buy-in poker tournaments and is also host to the Bellagio Five Diamond World Poker Classic in November/December, the Bellagio Festa al Lago Poker Tournament in June/July, and the Bellagio Five Star World Poker Classic in April.  The Five Diamond and the Five Star poker tournaments are a part of the World Poker Tour.  Binion's Horseshoe is the birthplace to one of the top poker tournaments in the world - the World Series of Poker.

For high stakes Atlantic City poker tournaments and tables, take a look at the Borgata and Trump Taj Mahal.  The Borgata is host to the annual Borgata Poker Open in September which is a part of the World Poker Tour.  The Trump Taj Mahal hosts the annual Trump Classic Poker Tournament in November/December.

For high stakes poker tournaments, it's also hard to beat simply following the World Poker Tour.  The tournaments on the World Poker Tour typically have $10,000 buy-ins and the prize pools seem to be setting new records at each poker tournament.  These are the poker tournaments televised on the Travel Channel that lead to the final World Poker Tour Championship tournament at Bellagio with a $25,000 buy-in.  The 2005 WPT Championship is expected to have a prize pool exceeding $7 Million.

The biggest selection of online high stakes poker games and tournaments is at Party Poker.  This is the largest online poker room so this is also where you will find the most active tables.  You can almost always find a high stakes table going including $30/$60 Texas Hold'em tables (average pots are about $350 to $450), $20/$30 Omaha tables (average pots are about $250 to $300), and $20/$40 seven card stud tables (average pots are about $200 to $250).  There are plenty of single table tournaments with $100 and $200 buy-ins, and multi-table tournaments with up to $300 buy-ins.  You can regularly find tournaments with up to $1,000,000 in prize money.  In March, Party Poker hosts the Party Poker Million tournament which is expected to have a prize pool of over $6 Million.

You may also want to take a look at Pacific Poker which has a good selection of high stakes tables up to $20/$40, tournaments with up to $100 buy-ins, and weekly tournaments with $10,000 in prize money; and look at True Poker which has a good selection of tournaments with $20 to $50 buy-ins and $5,000 to $10,000 in prize money.
