The rest of the online poker world thought PartyPoker had gone crazy when it unveiled several multi-table tournaments under its Daily Legends banner. Where some online poker operators allow for long late registration periods and unlimited re-entries, PartyPoker bucked the trend by reducing the former and limiting the latter.

Daily Legends tournaments came about following extensive analysis of feedback from PartyPoker players. The PartyPoker management team immediately realized PartyPoker players were crying out for a level playing field when they were grinding tournaments and demanded structures that did not turn those tournaments into crapshoots during their business end, but that also did not stretch out until the early hours of the next morning. PartyPoker created its Daily Legends tournaments with three key elements.

Vastly Reduced Late Registration

The late registration period at some online poker operators can last over two hours or more. This is fine when it is a major tournament taking place during a prestigious festival but overkill during "normal" times.

Having long registration periods can be disheartening for players because they can play for a few hours and still feel no closer to the money places. Furthermore, some players adopt the strategy of buying into a tournament as late as possible, then tanking until the bubble bursts.

Late registration in most of PartyPoker's Daily Legends remains open for ten levels or fewer, preventing those "max late-reggers" from employing their strategy.

Limited Re-Entries

There was a time when most online poker tournaments were freezeouts. Then, rebuy and add-on tournaments grew in popularity before re-entries became the norm. Allowing multiple re-entries per player allows an online poker site to put it larger guarantees but permitted unlimited re-entries is not good for every play.

Players with more substantial bankrolls have a distinct advantage in MTTs allowing unlimited or a large number of re-entries. They can afford to play like a crazy person while late registration is open and buy back in if they fail to build a big stack and bust. In addition, eliminating a dangerous opponent only to see them buy back in time and time again can be a cause of frustration for players.

None of PartyPoker's tournaments, not only their Daily Legends, allow unlimited re-entry. Indeed, most only permit a single re-entry, although there are a handful that allow two or three. By removing the advantage deep-pocketed players have over the rest of the entrants, PartyPoker is leveling the playing field for everyone, and the changes have been welcomed by players, even if that often means guarantees are slightly smaller.

Recreational Player Friendly Structures

Getting the tournament's blind structure is a challenging task. Make it too deep, and the blind increases too shallow, and the tournament drags on forever and a day. Conversely, make the structure shallow with big jumps between levels, and Lady Luck plays a more prominent role, reducing the skill-factor and seeing the tournament become a shove-fest, particularly in the latter stages.

PartyPoker's poker room team has spent countless hours devising structures that are the best of both worlds. Daily Legends are structured in such a way that they allow for plenty of play throughout yet finish at a reasonable hour. Professional poker players can happily stay up until 3:00 a.m. or 4:00 a.m. the next morning because they do not have to get up for work. Recreational players have to worry about getting a good night's sleep before working their 9-to-5 job the next day. The structures of Daily Legends allow this to happen.

How to Play in PartyPoker's Daily Legends

There is a Daily Legend for everyone, regardless of their bankroll's size. Buy-ins start at only $0.55 and increase to $320, sometimes more during online poker festivals. Fire up your PartyPoker account, head to the "Tourneys" tab, and tick the "Daily Legends" checkbox to filter the schedule for Daily Legends tournaments only.

Some Daily Legends have unique names, such as the Centurion, Masters, Predator, and Clasico, while others have their format as their name.

You'll also find Super Daily Legends, which are instantly recognized by their "Super" name. These tend to have larger guaranteed prize pools, yet still follow the three basic principles mentioned above.
