Was your hope of becoming a poker tournament star ruined when Poker Stars, Ultimate Bet, Full Tilt Poker, and now Doyle's Room closed to U.S. players? Mine was, until I discovered that I can play in poker tournaments on line in the U.S. legally. Further, I can play for FREE. There is a monthly membership charge of $20.00 to play in unlimited tournaments and be paid in U.S. dollars. There also are free tournaments for the club members where the winner can win a $10,000 entry to one of the World Poker Tour events, and play on television.
Most of the tournaments on the site are for small winnings, say $10.00. But there is a daily tournament offering $1,000 prize pool and a lunch tournament offering a $200 prize pool. Unlike the formats of the prior now illegal poker sites, where in a free role you had to win or place in the top few to win a seat into another free tournament to get into the money, here you can play directly in the World Poker Tour event and the winner gets the ticket into the event.
I remember playing in Poker Stars free roles and having to compete against up to 30,000 players. Here, I have not seen more than 1500 players in any one tournament. The site itself is also friendly,great graphics, easy to navigate, and the tournaments play quickly. The nightly $1,000 tournament usually lasts only 2 hours. I remember playing in a Poker Stars tournament starting at 8 pm and I had to stay up all night long in order to make it to the final table. Of course, I miss the opportunity to win thousands of dollars every day for little stakes, and I am hoping that the U.S. will get its act together and allow poker tournament play where you pay an entry fee and win from the prize pool. But until that happens again, this site is the best option. $20.00 a month for unlimited tournaments is really a great deal, especially comparing to paying that amount of money to enter one tournament.
For more information, go to [http://pokercitystore.com], and get the full scoop. There are also some great instructional videos and poker books, as well as lesson strategies.
The World Series of Poker (WSOP) events are now starting, and I hope to see you on TV at the final table.
