Poker tour info

The Latin American Poker Tour is a series of poker games that are happening in one of many cities across South America. The tour is similar to PokerStars Europe and Asian tour. This works out best for everyone though. Instead of a LatAm player hopping on a plane to be part of the main event about half way across the globe, the main event is near his home.

This does not mean that the Latin American Poker Tour is only open to LatAm players. Players from across the globe got to play in the main event and even took home the title. Four of the main event winners come from the USA while two are from Germany.

There are many games happening in the Latin American Poker Tour. Some will have the popular hold’em poker rule while others have the Omaha rule which plays almost the same as hold’em. These tables might also use an interesting rule throughout the game. One example is where four players post the blind bets instead of just two.

The poker tour is a way to reach out to the LatAm poker market which is surprisingly big. In order to bring in foreign players to join the tour, PokerStars set the visit as an exotic vacation to the LatAm region. Players can enjoy an intense game of high stakes poker and soak in the sun at one of many South American beaches.
