Starting this coming Monday, August 3, (one day after the next PartyPoker Monthly Million) Party Poker is starting its new Cash Rush promotion. In it a player will earn a scratchcard for every 20 Party Points they earn playing real money ring games, tournaments, and Sit ‘n’ Gos at PartyPoker.

The prizes that players can win on these PartyPoker Cash Rush scratchcards come in the forms of both cash and more PartyPoints. Cash prizes range from $5 to the one card that’s worth $50,000. A player can win an unlimited number of cards while the promotion is in effect.

Rather than expiring on a set date, the Cash Rush promotion will run until 1 million scractchards are distributed.

In the meantime, qualifiers are running now for this weekend’s PartyPoker Monthly Million, coming up Sunday, August 2 at 12:45 ET. Buying-in directly costs $640 so it’s well-worth at least trying to win your seat first.

One way to play winning online poker is to do whatever you can (within the rules, of course) to up your odds and get the most for your bankroll. One way to do both of those things at once is to seek out tournaments prone to overlays, and enter them. Aced Poker is one site experiencing some serious overlays in its regular tournaments.

An overalay is when not enough players have signed up and paid the buy-in to cover the guaranteed prize pool amount in a guaranteed tournament. When that happens, the site itself has to come up with the rest of the money.

In an tournament with an overlay there are fewer players competing for the prize money than anticipated (increasing your odds) and a greater value dollar-for-dollar on your buy-in (getting the most for your bankroll).

Aced Poker is having recurrent overlays at its regular Sunday $50K Guaranteed Tournament.  To learn more about Aced Poker we recommend this Aced Poker Review so that you can find out if this is the right room for you.
