I started playing freerolls at Full Tilt Poker back in november of 2005. Then I tried Bet Fred, Noble, Poker.com, Titan, Pokerroom and Holdem. By January I found PokerWorld, Bugsy's Club, Eurolinx, Hollywood, Celebrity and Absolute Poker. February's new finds were Bodog, Poker Champs and Poker4ever. Now it's June and I play everyday at Bodog, Poker.com, Full Tilt, Poker Champs and Poker4ever because these sites have the best freerolls for my needs. Occassionally, I still play at all the other sites lest I find a moment when I'm not in a freeroll tournament. Lately, I've been in the money 2-3 or 4-5 times a day, from 30-40% of all freerolls played. So I guess with time this freeroll thing can help a player's game along. 9 months running I'm feeling fairly confident in my game. I hope to report in the near furture that I'm winning these freeroll tournaments. This has yet to be accomplished.
For those of you who are too good to play freerolls. I have just one example for you.Sitting with Chris Ferguson at a $40 Horse or Razz freeroll MTT is quite an experience for me.Rumor has it that "Jesus" turned $1 into $25000 there too. Ooops that was 2 examples..Hehe
USA Gaming Laws -Players adjust to fluid environment.
Poker players from the US adjust to internet gamings laws and the affective change of well established habit.
Spring 2006
The signing of new gaming laws have coerced a baker's dozen of my favorite poker rooms to close their businesses to most if not all US customers. To them I say cowards. These fine folks have effectively passed billions of dollars unto the competion out of fear for the heavy hand of the US government. I don't blame them. However, I do applaud heartily the fortitude of the remaining online poker sites who remain open to us poker crazy americans. We will reward you greatly.
For the the kind players whom are from outside the US poker ring of fire. I hope you enjoy playing amongst yourselves for a bit and develop a unique style that can become more competitive for us damn yankees. Does my jealousy show?
As a webmaster and affiliate to many of these affected poker rooms I am seeing lots of movement in peoples habits. They are changing poker rooms alot. For me this good. I have gained 200 new players this past month alone. Thank You! Myself, I have changed poker rooms frequently too. Trying to find the best fit for moi is not easy. I need good freerolls, big bonuses and decent play in the rings and mtts. I find something unique in each poker room. I would tell you which rooms I'm favoring right now, except my choices are fairly clear perusing my site.
Freerolls 2010 Things sure have changed.
Freerolls 2010 by freerollinsider Ron.
april 25, 2010 fridley, mn.
I've been Freerollin' my way into a decent online poker education for 5 years now. I have entered into 1-20
freeroll tourneys everyday for 5 years (365)*(5)*(5)=3650 freeroll tournaments played so far. I still love freerolls!
I even win a few now. I've won the Bodog $500 twice and placed mutiple times there. Full Tilt $150 I've also won and placed a few. Absolute / Ultimate Bet I won twice and placed a few. PDC Poker and Carbon Poker on the Merge Poker Network has been very good to me I've won at both sites for $50 and parlayed those winnings into extended play on real money tournaments. PokerStars is the only site where I have yet to win a freeroll, I have placed there. My goal for 2010 is to win a Pokerstars freeroll darnit.
Anyway, there are a few new sites facing the USA players pool that I am planning to focus on.
PowerPoker,
FeltStars,
Aced,
Luvin Poker and I guess I need to mention
Rummy Royal here too. They offer freerolls now and I need to keep up on my Rummy skills.
So, there you go. I sit and write web pages and I play freerolls. Can life be any better than this?
