There is no bigger poker room than PokerStars and you won't find a better selection of multi-table tournaments (MTT's). There are hundreds of MTT's every single day at various stake levels and guaranteed prize pools played at PokerStars.
PokerStars is famously known for massive poker series including the TCOOP, WCOOP, SCOOP and MicroMillions. The series run annually and there is always millions in prize money guaranteed, but you can also expect huge playing field in the events.
I don't want to talk about the PokerStars MTT series, but I want to take a look at the events that run regularly. By far the best day to play online poker is on Sunday, as PokerStars hosts 10 MTT's with huge prize pools and varying stakes that most players can afford.

The "Sunday Majors" at PokerStars are all listed above along with the buy-in, guaranteed prize pool and starting time. You won't be able to realistically play in them all unless you don't mind multi-tabling the events, as most overlap if you make a deep run early.
Every week there are hundreds of satellite tournaments running to each of the major events listed above. You can use cash or FPP's to buy-in to the satellite events and if you win a seat you can either play in the tourney or sell the ticket for tournament dollars.
It's rare that any of these tournaments have an overlay and the prize pool often increases dramatically from the guarantee. There is over $3M in prize money to be won between these major tournaments at PokerStars, but the action doesn't stop on Sunday.
Other Popular MTT's at PokerStars
All week long there are other huge MTT's running at PokerStars and most of them have small buy-ins. PokerStars also has a line-up of seven tournaments with $405,000 guaranteed running every Saturday with buy-ins ranging from $2.22 + Rebuy to $320.
Each day at PokerStars there is a series of "Daily Bigs" with a combined guarantee of over $450,000. There are 13 Daily Bigs and the buy-ins range from just $2.20 to $162, which means that there are multiple Daily Bigs for players with a limited bankroll.
If you don't have much time you should look for the "Hot Turbos", which run daily around the clock. Each tournament uses a turbo blind structure, so the tournaments are much quicker. The buy-ins range from $.55 - $109 and there is almost $200K GTD daily.
