Shark Poker Tour League Play

Written by awesome forum member and da leauge stat man Ed - aka bpm2b

The hottest poker tour on the net, the Shark Poker Tour, has been around for a few years now. To remain the hottest tour on the net the SPT this year started its Player Of the Year race where members of the Tour can earn valuable POY points each month at select events.

This tour showcases some of the best players on the net, and some of the up and coming greats. We have had members qualify for WPT events, major online events and other live and online events.

The Shark Poker Tour POY race has only been running for just over four months. In that very short time the total prize pool from all POY events that has been paid out is just under $8300. That is about a average of $1800 a month going out to our members from buyins and money added to the prize pool. We are looking at in our first year of the Player Of the Year paying out over $23,000.

There have been over 130 members on the Tour who have earned POY points and many more that have not. We have had 25 different players score the almighty win that is so hard to do in Multi Table Tournaments. Some of those 25 winners have gone and won two events so far this year a few of them have done and won three. With the caliber of players on the Shark Poker Tour, winning just one event is hard enough.

In addition to the Player Of the Year race, the Shark Poker Tour also runs a Player Of the Month challenge. In those same events that players score those valuable POY points at the same time they earn POM points. Over a long period of time a consistent player will be in the top of the POY standings, but we also like to showcase who is the best for that one month.

So what are you waiting for? Join the hottest Poker Tour on the virtual felt, the Shark Poker Tour and show us that you can swim with the sharks or be the food for us chip tossing, Kool-Aid drinking sharks to eat.
