Special Freerolls!

Keep checking the CheckRayz website and the Poker Pub Poker Blog for announcements on last minutes and/or surprise freeroll poker tournaments.

I have some special freerolls in the works at the brand new Pharaoh's Poker Palace (new poker room, new software - still working the bugs out, but has lots of freerolls!), as well as at The3DPoker (lots of free money and overlays floating around!). These tournaments may or may not get advance publicity, so my advice is to check the website early and often!

Final Notes and thoughts

I have committed once again to writing more often at the Poker Pub. Between my busy schedule and a serious case of writer's block, I've neglected my writing. I strongly suspect you'll see more commentary, news, and views from the Beer Guy at the Poker Pub Poker Blog. Be sure to stop by, say hi, and take in some poker talk!

Have a great week everyone!

Freerolls all weekend!

This weekend marks the launch of Pharaoh's Poker Palace. To properly celebrate the opening, Pharaoh's Poker Palace will be having freeroll poker tournaments all weekend long.

CheckRayz will also be holding two private freeroll poker tournaments at Pharaoh's Poker Palace, and one money added buyin.

This is a great opportunity to get in on the ground floor at this new, innovative poker room, as there will be lots of free and added money floating around, along with players who are acting accordingly. I know I've had tremendous success at rooms of this nature in their infancy stage, and I expect this to be no different.

Pharaoh's Poker Palace is offering various first time deposit bonuses:

25% bonus up to $100
100% bonus up to $300
or 500% bonus up to $1000!
