Freeroll poker tournaments – earn your share of a prize pool worth $60,000

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

Start your real-money poker career without any risk by playing in a no money poker Freeroll today. Our daily Freerolls are open to all and with over 500 Freeroll tournaments every month, you can earn your share of a prize pool worth $60,000.

Freeroll poker tournaments allow you to win real money without making a deposit or paying an entry fee. You can learn what it’s like to play when there’s real money at stake, without the risk of losing any of your hard earned cash. If you win, you can use that money to build a bankroll and play in higher stakes games, just as Team Full Tilt’s Chris Ferguson did when he turned $0 into a $10,000 bankroll.

If you’re new to poker, Freerolls will help to improve your game. In addition to No-Limit Hold ‘em, we offer Pot-Limit Omaha, HORSE and Razz Freerolls to help you sharpen your skills and knowledge of these free poker games.

  1. If you haven’t done so already, download Full Tilt Poker and install the software on your computer.
  2. Create an account.

  4. Scroll down the Tournament listing to find the no deposit poker Freeroll of your choice.
  5. Once you’ve found the tournament you’d like to play in, click the “Register Now” button. Registration opens 40 minutes in advance for daily Freerolls and 24 hours before Country Specific Freerolls.

POKER HAND HISTORY

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

Like anything else worthwhile, improving your poker game takes practice. Simply put, the more you play, the better you’re likely to get. That said, playing poker without analyzing why some hands and maneuvers work better than others will only take you so far.

If you really want to take your game to next level, it is important to analyze your play day-by-day, which is why we’ve introduced our new Hand History feature.

This great tool automatically tracks each hand you play and stores the information in a file on your hard drive so that you can review it whenever you want. To get started, just follow these easy instructions:

  • Click on Options in the menu bar at the top of the lobby screen
  • Click on Hand History at the bottom of the pull-down menu

Options menu - hand history

  • Check the Save My Hand Histories box and select the number of days you want to keep your hand histories for – you can also change the file where you store the hand histories on your computer by clicking the Change Folder button
  • Click OK

Hand History Configuration

Once you finish a poker session, you can access your hand histories by doing the following:

  • Right click on the Start button on the bottom left of your computer screen
  • Click on Explore
  • Open the Hand History folder – this is the folder you specified in the Hand History Configuration menu and, for most people, it will be C:\Program Files\Full Tilt Poker\HandHistory\
  • Locate and open the folder labeled with your username – hand history folders will be created for each individual Full Tilt Poker player who uses your computer
  • Locate the table and date you want to view, and double click the file to open it

Explorer

Make good use of your hand histories and your future at the poker tables will be much brighter.

  • 1 WSOP Bracelet
  • 2 WPT Championships
  • 2004 WPT Player of the Year
  • Over $7.3 Million in Career Tournament Earnings

Erick Lindgren plays online exclusively at Full Tilt Poker.

Erick won his first major tournament at the Bellagio in 2002 and followed that up with his first WPT win just 10 months later. Not even six months after that, Erick won the Poker Million III, where he walked away with the million dollar top prize.

Erick came back strong at the start of 2006, when he took third in the WPT No-Limit Hold ‘em Championship event at the Borgata Winter Open. Then, Erick won the Fourth Annual Five Star Poker Classic. In June 2006, Erick won $600,000 in the $120,000 No-Limit Hold ‘em event at the “FullTiltPoker.Net Pro Showdown at the Red Rock Casino.” After that, he cashed in four events at the 2006 WSOP, finishing second in Short Handed No-Limit Hold ‘em to fellow Full Tilt Poker pro Jeff Madsen.

After a few months rest, Erick returned to form at the 2007 Aussie Millions where he won the Main Event and more than $795,000 in prize money. He cashed in a number of tournaments throughout the rest of the year, including two top-10 finishes on the WPT and an eighth-place finish in the WSOP’s $1,500 No-Limit Hold ‘em Shootout event.

In June of 2008, Erick earned his first WSOP bracelet. He worked his way through a starting field of 331 players to claim victory in the $5K Mixed Hold ‘em event. In addition to his bracelet, Erick earned over $374K. That victory brought Erick’s career tournament winnings to more than $7 million and moved him to 20th on the all-time money list.

Given his drive and competitive nature, we’re sure he won’t stop there.
