			<description>Thought I'd start a thread on the best freerolls out there (no requirements):

 

1) Fortune Poker EUR5k monthly

2) CD Poker $1k Sundays (through pokerroomschool after 300 points admittedly) 

3) GNUF Tues/ Sat $500 

4) Bodog daily $500

5) NOIQ daily specials

 

Not sure if there are any more worth even mentioning anymore! -please correct me if I'm wrong!

 

Not sure if I can list all the private freerolls (other forums etc) - let me know if I can! </description>

			<description>Thanks for those of you who logged in early, read the newsletters through the week and worked out problems before the game and played. I regret that some who wanted to play could not because of technical reasons. We have 6 PC's running various setups and browsers and the only problem we uncovered was that during testing  we sent an early incorrect password (uncovered by another member) that was corrected and resent. The member  who discovered it received the correct PW and played in the game.  ...</description>

			<dc:creator>nlpokerinfo77</dc:creator>
			<description>I think especially for new and experienced players for them to speak about their bad beat would be a great thing also. This let's people know that it isn't only happening to them and that it's just being unlucky, or maybe it wasn't a bad beat and the player didn't know they played the hand incorrectly.</description>

			<description>I think this forum needs better instructions of how to use it. Thinks like how to post a new thread? Also, where to go to find the latest tournaments? More free tips, and advice, with things like a free calculator of statistics on players you play against. Not just ones where you have to pay to get them.</description>

[b]What are poker tells?[/b]





A &quot;tell&quot; in poker is when you pick up on a behavior of another player

that gives you a clear message communicating the strength or weakness

of their hand. When most people think of poker they think of tells and

bluffing. Picking up on someone elses tell is supposed to enable you to

stomp all over them in a game.

you only play sometimes or play in home games with your friends you may

not want to play tight aggressive  ...</description>

The Basics of Cash Game Poker

When

poker began, there were no tournaments. The idea of a poker tournament

was effectively unheard of well into the 20th century. When the World

Series of Poker came into existence in the 70s, tournaments were still

the province of only a select few professionals.

Possible Texas Hold'em Leaks

			<description>The importance of odds in Texas Holdem





Odds are an important part of Texas Holdem. If you don't know how to calculate hand odds,

poker odds and pot odds you will have a hard time playing your Texas

Holdem hands correctly in difficult situations. Although many

successful poker players claim to play by &quot;feel,&quot; a solid grounding in

math is vital for successful poker play. Texas Hold'em, like all other

forms of gambling, is based on odds.

			<description>I qualified for the WBCOOP final tournament. I qualified in the 8 game mix tournament. 



There were several friends playing and railing, it was a good game and it was a tough one. 



As usual I had violent swings in my stack size - a weakness I must fix - I know what to do but that's the thing - Every pro basketball player knew how to pass, dribble, jump run  and shoot but Michael Jordan did it better....





Stay tuned...

Thought I'd post for those that have need for such a thing. However I am in no way associated or by posting this am I endorsing the site.

I FIND IF I CALL IN EARLY POSITION I AM USUALLY RAISED BY THE NEXT PLAYERS TO ACT MAKING ME FOLD MY JUNK HAND AND WAIT FOR SOMETHING BETTER. BUT CALLING IN EARLY POSITION USUALLY. JUST COSTS ME CHIPS AND VERY RARELY PAYS OFF.

IN MY OPINION ACE RAGS SHOULD MOSTLY BE FOLDED. DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL THIS WAY.]]></description>

			<description>I live in Michigan, and I've yet to ever withdraw money from an online poker site. I've been playing for real money for only a few months, and I'm not sure how the whole withdrawal process works since this is not technically legal here in the US. To those of you that live in the US and withdraw money, how does it all work? Do you receive a check from the site and simply take it to the bank with no problems? Hope to get some input from you guys.  </description>
