When did PokerStars Michigan go live?

Since January 29, 2021, PokerStars MI has been running real money cash games online in the state of Michigan for the first time since Black Friday.

At the moment, PokerStars is the only operator offering internet poker in the state, but it is expected that BetMGM is going to launch with a poker room any day now.

However, PokerStars MI currently enjoys a de facto monopoly, skyrocketing into poll position as the largest poker room across all US regulated markets. An astonishing feat.

MICOOP is its very first tournament series.

What tournaments are on the MICOOP schedule?

60 events are on the docket for MICOOP. The full schedule can be found below but standout events include:

  • Feb 21: $200 MICOOP-06 Sunday Special—$40,000 guaranteed
  • Feb 24: $500 MICOOP-17 High Roller—$35,000 guaranteed
  • Feb 28: $250 MICOOP-31 Sunday Special—$50,000 guaranteed
  • Mar 2: $250 MICOOP-36 Super Tuesday—$35,000 guaranteed
  • Mar 4: $250 MICOOP-44 PKO Thursday Thrill—$35,000 guaranteed
  • Mar 7: $300 MICOOP 55 Main Event—$125,000 guaranteed

I don’t yet have an account with PokerStars MI – Can I still play?

Of course. You can sign up for a PokerStars MI in just a few clicks. There are welcome bonuses to sweeten the deal.

Also if you have an old PokerStars account dating back to pre-Black Friday days, you can use your existing credentials to log in, but you will still need to create a PokerStars Michigan account.

You can also check out the PokerStars MI FAQ here in case you want to find out more about the poker room and available sign-ups bonuses and promotions before you sign up.

Are there any promotions running within the Michigan Championship of Online Poker (MICOOP)?

PokerStars is laying on a Second Chance All-in Shootout Freerolls for all players that bust out of MICOOP events.

So if you bust out of the money of any event, you win a ticket to an All-In Shootout. These are all-in tournaments, basically a random lottery of prizes, that will award prizes to the next MICOOP events.

Tournament

Is PokerStars MI running the MICOOP Player of the Series Leaderboard?

No. There is no series leaderboard being offered. Instead, the operator is running Daily Second Chance Freerolls and a Main Event Depositor Freeroll.

Are there any non-Hold’em events?

Yes, there is a good selection of events that are not standard Texas Hold’em. You’ll find five PLO events, plus one each of Omaha hi/lo, 5 Card Omaha, Limit Stud Hi/Lo and 5-Card Draw.

There are also two mixed rotation games—HORSE and 8-Game.

What MTT variants are there.

There’s a ton on non-standard tournaments on there. Some highlights include:

  • PKOs
  • Deepstacks
  • Big Ante
  • Rebuys
  • Freezeouts
  • Marathons
  • Zoom MTTs

What are some ways to win your way into MICOOP tournaments?

There are plenty of ways to qualify into the MICOOP Main Event.

Players that deposit $30 or more with the code ‘MICOOP’ between now and 13:59 ET on March 7 will get a free ticket to the $10,500 MICOOP Main Event Depositor Freeroll.

This freeroll guarantees 35 tickets to the Main Event, each valued at $300.

There is also a $3 Spin and Go now in the client, awarding tickets to the Main Event. Often the prize will be cash: $6, $12 or $3… but 0.25% of the time, players will compete for a $300 Main Event ticket.

What are Progressive Total Knockout tournaments?

Progressive Total KO Tournament is a special type of bounty tournament available on PokerStars in which the entire buy-in goes to fund each player’s bounty.

There is no regular prize pool (unless the tournament falls short of its guarantee) meaning the only way players can make money is by eliminating other players.

The MICOOP 2021 schedule does feature such a format. It is marked #60 and is scheduled to take place on March 8. It comes for a buy-in of $20 and is structured as a heads-up, turbo, zoom event.

What’s the full MICOOP Schedule?

You can check out the full MICOOP Schedule below.

It is made up of 60 events all with buy-ins between $10 at the low end and $500 at the top end.

$1 million will be paid out in total, but you can check out what events are running when below.

Tetris® combines with Spin & Go tournaments at PokerStars in a fun promotion that sees $1.5 million paid out between February 15 and March 28.

Pokerstars Tournament Results

Head to the Spin & Go lobby in the PokerStars client and you’ll see there are Tetris® Spin & Go games with buy-ins of $0.25, $1, $2, $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, $250, and $500. They all play out the exact same way as a traditional Spin & Go, meaning they’re three-handed hyper-turbo tournaments where the prize pool is randomly determined before the first hand is dealt.

It’s still possible to win up to $1 million in some of these game, but there are a few notable differences.

First, the virtual felt is made up of Tetris® blocks, which actually looks pretty cool. Also, the dealer button is now a Tetris® block too, and other blocks fall down the screen.

The Tetris® part of the promotion comes in the form of leaderboards. There’s a separate leaderboard for each Tetris® Spin & Go buy-in level, so 10 in total. You need to opt-in and then fire up some Tetris® Spin & Go tournaments.

Pokerstars Tournament Results

Play your tournaments as you would ordinarily, but do so knowing the aim of the game is to clear lines, just like in Tetris®. The number of lines you clear depends on your Spin & Go multiplier and your finishing position in the tournament.

Your level increases each time you clear five lines. This results in you earning even more points so you can climb up your leaderboard faster.

How Many Lines Do I Clear?

1st2nd3rd
2x432
3x321
Over 3x211

As you can see from the table above, finishing in 1st place in a Tetris® Spin & Go that has a 2x multiplier clears four lines. Just playing a tournament earns you points.

Pokerstars Tournament Schedule

How Do You Earn Points?

The number of leaderboard points you earn is based on your finishing position and your current level. You start off earning 40 points for clearing one line when you’re at Level 0, but this increases to 840 points if you manage to climb to Level 20, which is the highest level you can achieve.

It is possible to earn up to 25,200 points per Tetris® Spin & Go tournament, as you can see in this table.

Tetris® Spin & Go Payout Table

The leaderboards payout $33,000 every day throughout the promotion making for a combined total of $1,500,000 just for playing Tetris® Spin & Go tournaments.

The $0.25, $1, $2, and $5 leaderboard payout the top 100 points earners, so you have a decent chance of walking away with a cash prize. The prizes don’t have any restrictions on them meaning you’re free to do with them as you wish.

The Tetris® Playing Field – Avoid Hitting Game Over

There’s an extra element to this promotion that you have to be aware of at all times. PokerStars calls it the Playing Field.

Pokerstars Tournament Results Database

Just like in a game of Tetris® where it is Game Over when the blocks reach the top of the screen, it can be game over for you if you go on a streak of out of the money finishes!

Finishing in first place either improves your Playing Field status or makes zero change to it. Finish in second place, however, and your Playing Field status either stays the same or actually worsens, which is also the case when you finish in third place.

Your table, or playing field, is green in color when your Playing Field is in a good state. It turns amber when it is worsening and turns red when you’re in big trouble. Failing to win when your playing field is red could see you reach Game Over which means you cannot earn any more leaderboard points until the next day!

The changes to your playing field status depend on your current level.
