Poker Mix Max

A recent innovation is the 'mix-max' or 'mixed max' tournament, in which the table sizes vary during the course of the event. A typical example is the mix-max event held at the 2012 World Series of Poker, in which the first day of play was nine-handed, the second day six-handed, and the rest of the tournament heads-up.

The correct 6-max poker strategy is to play looser than you would in a full ring game (open 20% of hands) and make more bluffs and wider call downs. This means that in a 6-max game you should be playing a lot more speculative hands like suited connectors and suited aces as well.

The weekend is upon us but there’s not time for resting on our laurels because there are some massive poker tournaments to be won online. Three of the biggest events, including how to win your way into them, are shown below. Which one of this exciting trio will you compete in this weekend?

$25 Million Guaranteed WSOP Main Event Continues at GGPoker

The $25 million guaranteed WSOP Main Event kicked off at GGPoker last weekend and continues this week too. $5,000 is this massive tournament’s buy-in and for that you receive a generous helping of 50,000-chips and get to play to a 30-minute clock where the blinds start at only 100/200/25a!

$5,000 is a little on the steep size, even if it does give you a shot at a $25 million guaranteed prize pool, which is why we suggest trying to win your way into WSOP #77: $5,000 No Limit Hold’em Main Event via one of the plethora of satellites running around the clock.

There are literally dozens of $100 satellites to the Main Event so you’ll probably always find one regardless of when you get to play some online poker. It’s possible to play in satellites with buy-ins as low as $5, meaning everyone has the opportunity to play for what will be an astonishing first-place prize and, of course, a gold WSOP bracelet.

A handful of players calling the United Kingdom and Ireland home excelled in the latest round of the WPT World Online Championships events at partypoker.

Last week saw the WPTWOC schedule swap to Mix-Max, a relatively new yet exciting tournament format that sees the table sizes change as the tournament progresses. These Mix-Max events started on eight-handed tables before switching to six-handed later on.

Our players love having to adapt on the fly, as is evident by some of their superb performances.

WPT #06 Mix-Max Championship Final Table Results

Stuart Guite came agonisingly close to becoming a WPT Champions Club member in the $3,200 buy-in Mix-Max Championship event. Guite sat down at the final table with the shortest stack but played superbly and eventually found himself heads-up against Russian pro Andrey Kotelnikov.

Kotelnikov ran a fantastic bluff against Guite to soar into the lead and Guite can consider himself unlucky not to win the $488,508 top prize. The final hand saw Guite flop two pair and Kotelnikov turn a straight with his lowly six-three. Guite scooped a career-best $366,604 for his runner-up finish.

Ireland’s Conor O’Driscoll smashed his previous career-best score out of the ballpark by taking down the $320 buy-in Mix-Max Mini Championship event.

O’Driscoll’s previous largest online tournament prize weighed in at a shade of $17,000 but he now has a $121,980 score to brag about. The Irishman outlasted 3,006-opponents on his way to an impressive victory.

O’Driscoll had to contend with the likes of Team partypoker pro Philipp Gruissem and Anton Suarez at the final table. Gruissem crashed out in sixth for $19,760 while Suarez, winner of the 2020 MILLIONS UK Main Event for $1 million, was O’Driscoll’s heads-up opponent.

Luck was on O’Driscoll’s side and he busted Suarez in second-place. The Swedish runner-up netted $93,880 while O’Driscoll secured the tournament’s only six-figure prize, namely $121,980.

WPT #06 Mix-Max Micro Championship Final Table Results

There wasn’t an British or Irish champion in the $33 buy-in Mix-Max Micro Championship, although three of our players were present and correct at the final table.

Finn Walker was the first of two Brits to bust out. Walker won $9,075 for his fifth-place exit. Third-place and $19,863 went to Ireland's Colin Horgan before Sean Donovan saw his tournament end in second place, a finish that reeled in a $25,940 consolation prize.
