Fantasy League Poker: Vegas Tips

The budget for each team you enter is $300 in virtual dollars. The cost to you for entry is either $20, $100 or $500, depending on which buy-in tier you choose.

Each of the 120 professional players to choose from has been allocated a value, ranging from as little as $3 to as much as $112. The most expensive players on the list are Shaun Deeb ($112), Daniel Negreanu ($111) and Dan Zak ($109).

The least expensive players on the list are Patrik Antonius, Chris Moneymaker and Allen Kessler, who are all priced at $3.

The cost of assembling your dream team cannot exceed $300. As a guide, the average cost per player to stay within budget should be $37, so use this as a benchmark when picking your eight players.

Overall, you want a balanced team that will play as often as possible. A huge part of the fun of taking part in the ACR Poker Fantasy League Poker: Vegas is being able to follow the action throughout the summer, so you want players who will be entering as many competitions as possible, so that you have something interesting to follow each day, as the competition progresses.
