11 Sunday Special, the $200 Bounty Builder edition. Unfortunately, PA had to cough up a more sizeable overlay of $6,854 for event No. 10 Storm, the $10 Bounty Builder edition, missed its $4,000 guarantee by $481. Well, it was ugly for PokerStars anyway.īoth online poker markets had one event that failed to meet its guarantee. It didn’t take long for the dreaded overlay to rear its ugly head. Paired with the number of rebuys (58), the NJ version exceeded its guarantee ($12,000) by $2,779.80. There were 103 NJ online poker players took to the felt. NJ also started strong - not nearly as strong as PA - but strong, nonetheless. The guarantee for this event was $20,000, which set the stage for a strong tournament turnout. PA welcomed 266 players rebuying 97 times for a total prize pool of $33,323.40. Notes from the PokerStars Bounty Builder seriesīoth online poker markets launched their respective series with a strong opening event, event No. Re-entries in NJ accounted for 35% of the total entries, while it was only 30% of the total in PA.
It seems as if New Jersey online poker players are showing up to the virtual felt ready to rebuy more than PA players, though. When it comes to total entries, PA (5,592) wins the category by producing a staggering 125% more sign-ups than NJ (2,487).
However, PokerStars NJ also performed well, securing $138,000 in prize money, eclipsing its posted guarantees by 24%. PokerStars PA collected over $256,000 in prize money through the first 11 events, 38% above what was guaranteed. PA, on the other hand, is a bit all over the place, with some tournaments crushing the guarantees by more than double. On the surface, it is easy to see that PokerStars knows the NJ market thoroughly, as the majority of the tournaments barely exceeded the posted guarantee. Online poker is still “new” in the state, and PokerStars is the only live online poker app in PA. That should not be a surprise, though it is a bigger market. It exceeded its guarantees by larger margins and had nearly 125% more total entries. When comparing the results of the two online poker markets, side by side, it is clear that PA outperformed NJ.
