Use our freeroll monitor!
September 1 2010
Many of our readers are already using it but some of you might have missed it...our freeroll monitor! This monitor uses an advanced piece of software to track all the free poker tournaments that are coming up in the next minutes/hours.
The freeroll monitor is unbelievably accurate and is a great starting point when you want to play some freerolls and you are not too preoccupied on which site you play. Some people prefer to stick to one poker site, but in my opinion you are missing a lot of value with this stand point. Just create a bunch of different accounts, you never know what you are bumping into. Maybe you try a new site and you experience a much better gameplay than you are used to or come across the most fishy players you have ever seen.
