Online poker players looking to enter some solid tournaments on the cheap this month only have to wait until next week to get their fix (which is handy, considering next week is also the final week of January). Starting Monday, January 26th, the iPoker Network will be hosting its January Sale discounting over a dozen tournaments, all with guaranteed prize pools.
Two tournaments will be featured each of the sale’s seven days with discounts on their buy-ins of up to 60 percent. One of the highlights on the list is the network’s €100,000 Big Sunday tournament, which is marked down from a €75 buy-in to €50, a discount of 33 percent.
The discounts make the January Sale schedule of events very affordable, with the most expense tourney weighing in at €150 and nothing else more expensive than €150. One tournament is as cheap as €2, though that one is a re-buy event, so players should be prepared to possibly pony up a few more Euros.

According to PokerScout.com, the iPoker Network is the third largest online poker network or room, with a seven day average of 1,900 cash game players. Of course, this number has nothing to do with tournaments, but it probably would not be an inaccurate assumption to guess that the largest cash game sites also rank up there in terms of tournament traffic. The iPoker Network is comprised of nearly three dozen poker rooms, including Titan Poker, William Hill, BetFred, Betfair, Everest Poker, Mansion Poker, and Ladbrokes Poker. Unfortunately for Americans, the January Sale is a non-issue, as it does not accept U.S. customers.
