Bei der European Poker Tour in Prag wird das PokerStars Open in diesem Jahr günstiger. Das zweitgrößte Turnier im EPT-Spielplan kostet diesmal €1.100 und liegt damit deutlich unter dem bisherigen Buy-in von €1.650.
Der Turnierplan für den Jahresabschluss der European Poker Tour steht inzwischen fest. Das PokerStars Open gehört traditionell zum Programm und wird als zweites Main Event der Tour ausgetragen.
Bei den vergleichbaren EPT-Stopps in diesem Jahr lag das Buy-in für das Open noch bei €1.650. So wurde unter anderem beim EPT Barcelona im vergangenen Monat diese Summe verlangt.
Anders sieht es bei eigenständigen PokerStars Open aus. Beim PokerStars Open Malaga betrug das Buy-in bereits €1.100. Wurde das Turnier hingegen im Rahmen einer European Poker Tour angeboten, mussten die Spieler bislang €1.650 investieren.
€1.100 als attraktivere Preisstufe?
Die Reduzierung könnte vor allem für Spieler aus dem Mid-Stakes-Bereich interessant sein. In der Pokerszene wurde zuletzt darüber diskutiert, ob Buy-ins ab €1.500 für viele Mid-Stakes-Regulars bereits über der persönlichen Komfortzone liegen.
Ein Teil dieser Spieler ist regelmäßig bei Turnieren um €500 dabei und nimmt gelegentlich Events für rund €1.000 mit. Als Beispiel dafür wird das Irish Open genannt.
Auch für Spieler, die sich über Satellites qualifizieren möchten, macht das niedrigere Buy-in einen Unterschied. Ein €100 Satellite für ein €1.100-Turnier liegt deutlich näher an der üblichen Preisklasse als ein Satellite für ein Event, das mit €1.650 fast doppelt so teuer ist.
Interessant ist dieser Aspekt auch vor dem Hintergrund der jüngsten Zahlen von der EPT Barcelona. Dort gingen die Teilnehmerzahlen bei den meisten Turnieren zurück. Eine Ausnahme bildete der €825 Cup, der sogar mehr Entries als zuvor verzeichnen konnte.
Das könnte darauf hindeuten, dass Turniere im Mid-Stakes-Bereich derzeit besonders gefragt sind. Gleichzeitig befindet sich die Pokerbranche insgesamt in einer schwächeren Phase.
Das PokerStars Open in Prag könnte damit ein Hinweis auf eine größere Entwicklung sein. Entscheidend wird letztlich sein, ob das niedrigere Buy-in tatsächlich für größere Teilnehmerfelder sorgt und damit eine breitere Spielerschaft erreicht.
