ACR's Mini Online Super Series Perfect for Low Stakes Players
By RTR Dennis
While plenty of online poker rooms run big tournament series, many low stakes grinders feel left out of the equation because buy-ins are too big. Fortunately, this isn’t a problem with the mini Online Super Series at Americas Cardroom because the buy-ins are super cheap, yet the prize pools are huge!
More specifically, the buy-ins range from $0.10 to $2, and prize pools run from $1,000 to $10,000. You can also collect bounties on top-flight ACR pros and participate in a leaderboard competition too. Assuming you’re interested in the mini Online Super Series (mOSS), which runs from November 15th–19th, you can read all about it below.
mOSS Tournament Schedule
The mOSS features a collective $67,000 over 15 tournaments, and pretty much anybody has a shot at winning big money. The $2.20 buy-in events are especially nice since you can compete for a huge $10k prize pool!

Leaderboards
Besides bounties and regular tournament prize pools, leaderboard races present one more way that you can win big through the mOSS. There are four leaderboards in all and they are as follows: $1,000 Guaranteed Leaderboard, $2,500 Guaranteed Leaderboard, $10k Guaranteed Leaderboard, and the Overall Leaderboard. The winner of each board moves on to a special 4-seat final on November 25th where they play for a $1,000 prize pool. Here’s a breakdown of how payouts work:
1. $500
2. $250
3. $150
4. $100
As you can see, there is quite a bit of money available in the mini Online Super Series. And what’s great is that you won’t even have to spend much cash to participate!
