Jackpot Sit n' Go's on the iPoker Network
Giorgio (07-07-'08 17:03)
The iPoker Network, host of sites like Titan Poker and CD Poker, is known for their ongoing promotions. One of those, my personal favorite for many years, are the Jackpot Sit n' Go's. They come in four different levels, the Dirty Dozen with a buy-in of just $2+$0,40, the Maui with a buy-in as low as $5+$1, the Rio with a buy-in of $20+$3,50 and the...

Playing above your limit
Giorgio (05-06-'08 14:45)
One of the most made mistakes inexperienced online poker players make is playing above their limit. Next to that, the vast majority of players don't implement any kind of bankroll management, so they rather jeopardize their entire bankroll.
Because of this you see that many players re-deposit, while it's so much better to step down if you're ser...

Wanted: Bloggers
Giorgio (02-06-'08 10:40)
This could be the beginning of a free online poker career!
This is not really an article as you are used to, but since Scott Brown vanished from in the world of online poker and I simply don't have the time to blog frequently, we're seriously looking for a blogger.
Of course it would make sense if you are one of our regulars, because that way...

Scotty speaks out! (Part 15)
Scott Brown (16-03-'08 20:08)
It was time to start playing for real cash after getting $20 on my PokerStars account. I decided to play the satellites for this years' World Series of Poker. The WSOP is the biggest event on the poker calendar and to play it is a once in a lifetime thing for most poker serious players. With the buy-in at $10,000 I'm not going to be paying for it d...

The Poker For Free freeroll, about 90 players were registered? I think due to a small error with GMT+1 hour... Getting seated at the table, it's my 1st visit to Poker Nordica and everything looks great, the cards are nice to read, the players sitting well, 10 minute blinds so a good game is going to be in hand. For the 1st blind limit I didn't see...

Scott Brown (03-03-'08 12:37)
Playing CD Poker is very enjoyable, I really like the game play. I've been playing cash on there for a while now, and it seems good, there's not so much "fishing" even on the small stakes, and people respect bets. I've been up and down from my starting $10. I just like to play, really love to see flops with good cards, and sometimes the small conne...

Scotty speaks out! (Part 12)
Scott Brown (11-02-'08 12:29)
Full Tilt Poker holds a couple of freerolls through the day and they all fill up quite quick. I've been ranking anywhere from 47th place to 23rd of about 3000 people, being at my best, because the blinds soon start creeping up on you. But the other day I found my self at 20th place, 10 away from the money with a noticeable chip stack that wasn't be...

Scotty speaks out! (Part 11)
Scott Brown (28-01-'08 17:19)
Playing at PokerStars I thought of entering the NLHE Heads up $1000 + $50 (play money). So I registered and waited for it to start, thinking to myself: "people will go all-in all the time being heads up..." What I noticed was people raising a lot and hoping to hit the flop and others having small pocket pairs in hand.
The best way I find is to b...

Scott Brown (05-01-'08 00:16)
So, after a long time of getting beaten on BestPoker I decided to give up on playing Internet poker for a while, but later on I decided that 2008 was going to be a great year for poker, so I eventually logged into my BestPoker account again to play some PLAY money SNG's. I know play money is quite a different story, but still I've managed to win so...

Giorgio (13-12-'07 12:09)
No deposit bonuses or first deposit bonuses, there are plenty to choose from, but they aren't worth anything if you don't know how to make the most out of it.

Added Poker Tournaments
Giorgio (20-11-'07 19:45)
First of all, let's talk about the definition of an added poker tournament. An added poker tournament is a tournament with extra seed money added to the prize pool. The buy-in amounts are added to the prize pool inclusive the added amount, opposite to guaranteed tournaments where the prize pool will only be increased with the buy-ins when the guara...

Scott Brown (06-11-'07 12:08)
Well like I said in my last blog, I really am playing PokerStars a lot, still loving the 27 person sit & go's and the British_Irish $100 freeroll. Well I’ve been playing them loads and I cash in just about every night, it may only be $0.10 or whatever it is, but still it all adds up.
I’ve also decided to set myself a challenge:...

The time is now!
Giorgio (27-09-'07 12:45)
For those of you in the Euro zone who are still doubting about playing for real money, currently it's a great moment to make the move. Let me define why. Because of today's US economic situation we see a huge devaluation of the US Dollar. The Dollar has fallen to an all time low record, in other words: "You will get quite a lot more Dollars for you...

World's largest online poker room
Giorgio (18-09-'07 12:44)
Occasionally I have a chat with some of our members, mostly prior to one of our freerolls. I am kind of surprised to hear that some of you don't have an account at Party Poker, while this is one of the best know poker rooms, where almost every respected poker player has an account for one or another reason. In this article I like to tell you a bit...

Since signing up for VC Poker I have neglected the other online site I play on. I only logging in at PokerStars for the British_Irish freeroll, so after a small bit of thought and a sip of my drink I log into PokerStars to look around what else I can play, and there it was free play Sit & Go's from small chip stack entries of 300+10 to 50.000+1...

Playing Poker on Saint Martin
Giorgio (19-08-'07 22:15)
I have just returned home from a two week vacation to the Caribbean island Saint Martin with my family. It was a whole lot of fun, especially seeing my almost 2 year old son enjoying the ocean and the pool at our hotel. Besides that, my girlfriend and I went out eating and drinking almost every night, together with a couple of friends from the Stat...

Loosing our credibility?
Giorgio (05-08-'07 22:48)
This weekend was one full of mistakes.
First we had a bug in our newsletter software causing all members to receive between 1 up to 918 copies of the same e-mail. Some were so mad at us that they called us names, others simply unsubscribed, and also quite a lot of (very friendly) members understood that we never meant to sent that many emails. T...

A bunch of new stuff
Giorgio (21-06-'07 17:48)
It's been a while since that I have posted an article. Sometimes it is wise to prioritize, and writing an article had a low priority in regards to some stuff that needed to be taken care of. You probably have noticed the change in look and feel. Our goal was to make Poker For Free easier to read. More space has been created, the white space margins...

What makes Titan Poker better?
Giorgio (26-04-'07 23:54)
As you might notice when surfing the Poker For Free website, we promote Titan Poker the most. Of course we get a pretty good deal compared to the other online poker sites, but that's definitely not the reason why we give them top promotion. In fact, Poker For Free strives to give independent advice, and Titan Poker is the only Internet poker room w...

PKR - Welcome to the real world!
Giorgio (14-03-'07 22:09)

If you are a fan of RPG computer games, then you are definitely going to like PKR better than any other poker room out there. It's comparable to playing a computer game. Crea...

3D Poker at PKR
Giorgio (06-01-'07 00:02)
At this moment I play less poker than ever. I am occasionally playing a few SNG's, and sometimes a Texas Hold'em freeroll. Setting up a site like Poker For Free takes a lot of time for development and most of all its' research.
One of my personal favourite poker sites at this moment is PKR. I'm sure you've heard about them. PKR is 3D and a total...

Regarding Federal Unlawful Gambling Enforcement Act
Giorgio (17-11-'06 14:09)
The United States senate has passed a bill on September 30 that prohibits US citizens to play poker, or gamble online.
Fortunately there are still a few online poker rooms that still accept US poker players.
We've been in touch with the sites' customer service, and they have confirmed to us that they will keep accepting US based poker players...
