Poker related


Alright, I have a few poker-related comments to make. First, play poker at www.poker.com. I've played at a couple poker sites. I played at Titan Poker before they banned U.S. players. I actually liked Titan Poker quite a bit and probably would still play there if I could. However, since I no longer can I have moved to Poker.com. I rather like their software and even as I will probably clear bonuses at other sites I intend to play at Poker.com for quite a while. I started playing at PokerStars a week or two ago because I had cleared my current bonus at Poker.com. I don't like the software at PokerStars one bit. It's playable but in no way enjoyable. Also, since I usually play with headphones, the alert (short on time) noise seems really loud and can be quite startling if you're looking at another table.

If you join poker.com I would love it if you would do so from the above link. You can help me out by joining through my referral. When you play 100 raked hands (easy to do in one sitting) I get $50 deposited into my account. You can still use coupon codes/first deposit bonuses.

Current first deposit bonus code: AUSSIEFREEROLL

  • 100% deposit bonus
  • a week of new depositor $500 freerolls
  • a month of new player freerolls
  • entry into the next Aussie Millions freeroll (you could win a package to play in the Aussie Millions....free)



Also poker related and Poker.com related is the North American College Poker Championship. Offered by College Poker Life the NACPC consists of weekly FREE satellite tournaments every Tuesday at Poker.com. Since I'm at work this evening I am unfortunately missing this weeks but I won one a few weeks ago so that's ok. You can win a semester of your college tuition (up to $9,000 I believe). The top three finishers in each satellite tourney are issued a coupon to enter the NACPC semi-finals that will take place on March 31, 2007. The players in the semi-final will play until there are 6 people remaining at which point the game will stop. Those 6 people will be flown to a city in Canada to film the final table live. The 6th qualifier was/is this evening (I believe it starts at 7pm) so you still have 18 more Tuesdays to play.

The qualifiers are $200 freerolls open only to those who are CollegePokerLife players. $50 to the first place finisher isn't too bad for a freeroll. Plus the field usually isn't too big. Also, they usually give away other stuff to the top 3 finishers. For the past few weeks it has been subscriptions to Bluff Magazine. I haven't seen my first issue yet but I await it eagerly.

Also, this month College Poker Life is giving away $5,000 to the person who gets the most referals for the NACPC. Sooooo....if you want to help a person (i.e.- me) out you could click here or the banner I put above. It doesn't cost you anything but some of your time. So, if you have a few minutes to spare it would be nice even if you don't play poker. They don't send out too much spam (usually about 1 or 2 e-mails per week that you could easily trash).
