Cool Hand Online Poker Offers Freeroll Frenzy

Sign Up Now and Get Up to $350 in Sign-Up Bonus
Cool Hand Online Poker is looking to attract new players with its week-long freeroll frenzy. From Oct. 15-22, the site will offer one freeroll tournament every hour. There will be four $500 freerolls, four $200 freerolls, two $40 freerolls, and 14 $20 freerolls every day.

Players can also take advantage of the $350 sign-up offer that allows players to earn a $10 bonus for every 100 raked hands, up to $350.

Cool Hand offers some of the softest games around, because unlike most poker rooms, the site limits players to two real-money tables and one tournament table, an attribute that likely discourages highly experienced players.

Local poker players to be put to test in Sydney

Australia --
Two Narromine poker players will head to the Australian Poker League (APL) Tournament of Champions in Sydney this week.
Josh O’Hara and Dwayne Mann qualified for the three-day poker event by playing in free rolls and pro games in the region.

Mr O’Hara won his ticket by qualifying in the Friday pro game in Wellington on June 27. Mr Mann got his ticket in the APL regional finals, held at the Narromine USMC last year.

They will join 15 other people in the region vying for their share in $600,000 prize money. Last year’s APL Tournament champion Rodney Davidson from Southern NSW walked away with the $300,000 first prize, after qualifying at a free poker event in Bega.

Before the tournament Rodney had only $20 in the bank and had to borrow money for his train fare to participate.

The event, held in Campbelltown on August 8 to 10, has free entry and will feature a Shannon Noll concert, a celebrity poker tournament (featuring Jeff Fenech, JP from Australia’s Next Top Model and Greg Bird), live bands each night, a learn to play poker

area and sit and go tables.

Anybody wanting to play poker or test out their skills can be part of the action with poker games at the Narromine Hotel on Thursday nights and the Narromine USMC on Saturday nights.

SunPoker.com Offers UK Pound Cashier

SunPoker.com announced today that it has now made it easier for players from the UK and all of Europe to play at their online poker tables.

The tables will see even more action with an influx of new British poker players that are now able to easily deposit and withdrawal using Pounds.
"One of our main priorities over the past several years was to make it as seamless as possible for our customers to play at SunPoker.com using their local currency," says Rob Gallo, Marketing Director at SunPoker.com. "With the addition of the Pound cashier, players from the UK will not have to worry about making withdrawals or deposits from Pounds to US Dollars ($). This certainly shows our commitment to making SunPoker.com the BEST place to play."

Sun Poker Repeating WSOP Promotion

SunPoker.com is gearing up to give away some big prize packages. The online poker room will give away $300,000 in prize packages to the 2008 World Series of Poker that begins this July.

Sun Poker offered this promotion last year, and because of its popularity, they will repeat it this year. There will be 25 players who get the chance to compete in the WSOP’s Main Event.

There are several other online poker rooms that will offer freerolls and satellite games, but SunPoker will be sending more players to the Main Event then almost all the other online poker rooms.

However, SunPoker.com stated that what makes its promotion different is that players only have to collect ten to 20 MyPokerPoints in a day to be eligible to buy-in for free at one of its satellites for the daily final. Players acquiring more points are able to buy-in direct to the daily satellite or even the daily final if they acquire 200 points. Players with 2,000 points are eligible to buy-in direct to the weekly final with the final WSOP Mega Freeroll being held on May 11.

Canadian wins Full Tilt Poker freeroll

These winter days may seem cold but the online poker world is heating up at Full Tilt Poker: another PokerListings.com player walked away with free cash last weekend.


This time around it was Lance Murray, a 26-year-old player in Nova Scotia, Canada, who topped the weekly $3,000 freeroll for PokerListings.com players at Full Tilt Poker.

The tattoo artist has been playing poker since he was 13, and plays poker daily now. That experience paid off with a $780 win on Saturday after he climbed his way to victory from a short stack.

"I lost most of my chips really early, so I played very conservatively to stay in," Murray, who plays as drumandbass11, said about the tournament. "On the last hand, I had pocket aces, which I slow-played, and luckily sucked him in for all of his chips. I got lucky quite a bit too."

The Top 10 players in the freeroll were:

Place Name Prize
1st drumandbass11 $780
2nd Darkangel71 $495
3rd Tyfoon777 $375
4th TMDAN $292.50
5th dglizda $217.50
6th takotako $157.50
7th RODDOG23 $105
8th mick skittles $82.50
9th sonnystorm $63
10th Sapo ITA $37.50

So what does Murray plan to do with that extra $780 padding his bankroll? Play more poker, of course. It's more than likely that that play will also take place at Full Tilt Poker since he already plays there daily.


"It's the best site online without a doubt," Murray said when asked about Full Tilt Poker.

He's also a fan of PokerListings.com, which he visits when he wants to check out a new poker site.

"I love it," he said. "It's the only place I use to look for new poker rooms."

For your chance at weekly free cash at Full Tilt Poker, sign up at the poker site through a PokerListings.com link and then start playing to earn 150 points during the seven-day qualification period.

This looks really cool

Bodog Poker Offering Free Seats in $100K Guarantee

Bodog Teams Up With Card Player to Offer Card Player Readers a Free Shot at $100K Prize Pool
Bodog Poker is looking to give free entry into its $100,000-guaranteed tournament to up to 27 Card Player readers. The site is holding exclusive freerolls for Card Player readers - wherein one out of every 20 entrants is guaranteed entry (worth $109) into the site's flagship tournament - to celebrate the end of the college and pro football seasons.

The first freeroll tournament will be held tomorrow (Saturday) at 5 p.m. ET, and it is limited to 540 entrants. One $109 entry will be awarded for every 20 entrants in the freeroll. Those who win free seats can play in the major Sunday event the very next day. The freeroll, called the CardPlayer Football Freeroll, can be found by clicking on the "Scheduled Tournament" tab, then the "Daily" tab, and then the "Private" radio button. The password to register for the first tournament is "bowlseason" (all lowercase). Bodog plans to hold the private freerolls every weekend from now until the end of the NFL playoffs. CardPlayer.com will announce the password for each freeroll on the Friday preceeding the event.

The $100,000-guaranteed event, held every Sunday at 4 p.m. ET, has been showing an increased value as of late with overlays reaching nearly $40,000. The overlays mean more bang for a player's buy-in buck (or, in the case of Card Player readers, more bang for free), as the lower turnouts mean less competition for the paying spots and larger payouts for most of those who cash in the events. A representative from Bodog said that it is likely that the lower turnouts are because of the site's major demographic: sports-lovers who are pumped and tied up watching the wrap-up games of the football season.

One seat is awarded for every $50 in the prize pool. Finally, players can buy directly into the monthly final for $50.

One of the unique aspects of this promotion is that the top prize is so enormous. Of the $100,000 given out each month, $75,000 of it goes to first place. The following are the payouts:

First place -- $75,000
Second place -- $10,000

Win Tickets to Super Bowl XLII at Absolute Poker

Choose Your Favorite Team and Represent Them in a Series of Tournaments in the Absolute Touchdown Promotion
The NFL regular season is nearly halfway over, and teams are still vying for a coveted spot in the playoffs. At Absolute Poker, NFL fans representing their teams are also competing to make the playoffs for a chance to win tickets to Super Bowl XLII in the Absolute Touchdown promotion, and it is not too late for players to join in.

First, players must choose their favorite team and use their Absolute Poker registered e-mail account to do so. (Click here to pick a team.) Players who do not have an account must download the software and register before picking a team. (Players who need to register for a new account can click here.)


At noon ET every Saturday, teams will go head to head, according to the real NFL schedule, in a no-limit hold’em tournament. For example, this Sunday in the NFL, the Dallas Cowboys are playing the Washington Redskins, which means that players representing the two teams will all play in the same tournament for the Absolute Touchdown promotion. Points are awarded at the final table with nine points going to first. Players need to register by noon on the Wednesday before the game, but once registered, players can compete in every tournament.

The tournaments include freerolls as well as real-money buy-in tournaments. Leader boards can be found at Absolute Poker’s website to keep track of how the teams are playing.

At the end of 17 weeks, the top 16 teams, according to points, make the playoffs. The teams will battle in a knockout-style competition. The two teams that accumulate the most points at the final table of each tournament will move on to the Absolute Poker Bowl.

Players representing the final two teams will all be eligible to play the last tournament. Points no longer matter. First place in the Absolute Poker Bowl will receive tickets to Super Bowl XLII in Arizona on Feb. 3, 2008.

Annie Duke's live freeroll fills fast

Rigid qualifications didn't stop the limited seats available in the Annie Duke $100,000 Hold'em Freeroll Poker Tournament from filling up in record time.


Less than two weeks after the qualification period began, all 1,000 were claimed for the Oct. 25 tournament at the San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino in California.

With Annie Duke as the master of ceremonies and a free shot at a piece of the $100,000 prize pool, plenty of people were willing to put in the time it took to meet the qualification.

To secure a spot in the tournament, players had to earn six dreamcatcher stamps on a tournament qualifying card. Stamps were earned by getting a full house or better or jacks full or better in Omaha at San Manuel.

According to a press release, poker players from all over Southern California headed to San Manuel to try to secure a spot in the tournament. Players ranged from semi-professionals to amateurs, and even a few people attempting to use beginners' luck.

Poker enthusiasts who didn't qualify in time to play in the tournament can still come ride the rails and see who wins, as well as still meet Annie Duke.

Along with her emcee duties, Duke will be appearing at the San Manuel the evening of the tournament and be available to the public from 7-10 p.m. in the Yhaviatam Room.

Duke began her rise to fame in the mid '90s when she moved to Las Vegas to play professional poker. Prior to that she'd been honing her skills in Montana.

Since then, she's established herself as one of the best poker players in the world, winning a World Series of poker bracelet in 2004 as well as cashing deep in other WSOP events over the years and on the World Poker Tour.

DEAL ME IN: More colorful poker quotes

Poker is full of interesting characters and occasionally they utter an amusing quip or two. Here are a few more of the more interesting comments on the game:

“There are few things that are so unpardonably neglected in our country as poker. The upper class knows very little about it. Now and then you find ambassadors who have sort of a general knowledge of the game, but the ignorance of the people is fearful. Why, I have known clergymen, good men, kind-hearted, liberal, sincere, and all that, who did not know the meaning of a ‘flush.’ It is enough to make one ashamed of the species.”

— Mark Twain

“The commonest mistake in history is underestimating your opponent; happens at the poker table all the time.”

— General David Shoup

“Patience. And shuffle the cards.”

— Cervantes, “Don Quixote”

“I must complain the cards are ill shuffled till I have a good hand.”

— Jonathan Swift, “Thoughts on Various Subjects” (1728)

“Poker is the game closest to the western conception of life, where life and thought are recognized as intimately combined, where free will prevails over philosophies of fate or of chance, where men are considered moral agents and where -- at least in the short run -- the important thing is not what happens but what people think happens.”

— John Luckacs

“Cards are war, in disguise of a sport.”

— Charles Lamb

“I believe in poker the way I believe in the American Dream. Poker is good for you. It enriches the soul, sharpens the intellect, heals the spirit, and, when played well, nourishes the wallet.”

— Lou Krieger

With spots quadrangular of diamond form,

Ensanguined hearts, clubs typical of strife,

And spades, the emblems of untimely graves.

— William Cowper

“The poker player learns that sometimes both science and common sense are wrong; that the bumblebee can fly; that, perhaps, one should never trust an expert; that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of by those with an academic bent.”

— David Mamet
