Carbon and Aced Poker's "Micro OPS" Tournament Series Begins Play on March 23rd

Carbon Poker and Aced Poker, leading online poker rooms on the Merge Gaming Network, have announced another Online Poker Series that will begin play on Sunday, March 23rd. This time, however, the stakes will favor micro players as buy-ins will range from $0.11 up to $11. As always, ProfRB.com has the details below.

Running from Sunday, March 23rd through Sunday, March 30th, both Carbon Poker and Aced Poker will be running three Micro OPS events each day (four on the final day), leading up to the $15,000 guaranteed Main Event on the final Sunday of the series. Players can get in via direct buy-in, as well as buy using their VIP points and/or existing tournament coupons.

The Micro OPS comes off of Merge's last tournament series (Carbon OPS), which as featured in our Monthly MTT Profit | Loss report, drew over $55,000 in profits for the network. Over 34,000 players took part in that event, which saw 22 overlays in 84 events for nearly $40,000 in added value. While the stakes won't be nearly as high with the Micro OPS, over $43,000 in prize money is guaranteed in the 25 events beginning on March 23rd, and there will be several types of events for players who enjoy a multitude of online poker styles (PLO, HORSE, Holdem/Omaha split, etc.).

ProfRB.com will have full results and analysis of the Micro OPS Series upon its completion. You can view the full schedule, via the Carbon Poker website, below. (opens image in new tab)
 

The addition of various types of online poker tournaments, in addition to the staple that is no-limit Texas holdem, lends itself to furthering the Merge Network's attempt to revamp their tournament traffic. While remaining competitive with rivals Bovada and the Winning Poker Network, Merge has seen fluctuations in player retention and participation over the past few months. However, they are still currently situated as the second best option of the major US-facing online poker networks and with a fresher outlook in terms of their daily tournament structure, Merge remains poised to be a factor in the overall online poker landscape.
