Re: Freerolls Freerolls are a great way to get into poker - they cost nothing and offer real rewards. Many many PL'rs have won $10,000+ prizes through freerolls. (Look at the PB thread - most of the top prizes came through freerolls) Just last month - Strider has won a WSOP (World Series of Poker) package from a freeroll series. He travels to Las Vegas to play - free. Woodie has won an APT (Asian Poker Tour) Package from a freeroll. He will travel to Manilla (??) to play for free. Red Fear and Ubermonkey won WSOP packages through freerolls (Uber got into his freeroll after a buy in series, so cheating a little to call it a freeroll). Between the 4 of them, that's over $30,000 (I think) worth of prizes through freerolls. The trick with freerolls is to shop around and play the higher value ones - it's not worth playing a $50 freeroll with 10,000 entrants (yes they exist) however a $10,000 freeroll with 50 entrants (yes they exist) would be very worthwhile :ok Keep an eye on the daily diary to see where the value freerolls are. It means you'll be setting up loads of accounts - I'd say most regular PL Poker Players have over 50 accounts. A lot have well over 100 accounts. Read this thread from Mr V - it talks about getting into poker, and building a bank roll without risking any of your own money. If you're new to the game, then it's the way to go :ok How To Start Out in Poker Without Risking Your Own Cash DOnt expect to see a great standard of poker in freerolls - because it's free, most people will play them pretty fearlessly - the trick is to be patient and tight, but aggressive when you have a big hand. People will call your bets with worse hands. Finally - join in some of the PL exclusive games - they have a buy in - but added value. These games provide a very high standard for the size of the buy in - so think of them as a good place for some cheap lessons :ok The Wednesday night Pokerkings league costs €2+20c for example. The €2 is distributed as prize money - with €25 added. Also €250 (?? I think :unsure) is added as a monthly league prize.
