Online Poker's Best Kept Secret: PokerListings.com and Gnuf Poker Freerolls Pwn Per-Player Payouts
Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles (PRWEB) October 2, 2007 - With small fields and huge prize payouts, PokerListings.com (http://www.pokerlistings.com/gnuf), and GNUF.com's (http://gnuf.com/partner/?track=1ecbd12fe72da7ed8738a4d6c80568b2) regular co-sponsored freerolls are easily one of the best-kept secrets in online poker.
Quite literally: The per-player value is off the charts.
And fast approaching on Oct. 12: One more high-value freeroll, with a lucrative package for the EPT Dublin main event up for grabs.
"No exaggeration," says Camilla Sundell, press secretary for PokerListings.com, "no marketing bluster. Our co-sponsored freerolls with Gnuf are just great value.
"We held a $25,000 WSOP Europe freeroll for 35 players. Our weekly freerolls consistently draw between 10 and 30 players.
"Where else in online poker can you find that? No 8,000 player crapshoots. Not a second of wasted time. Just solid opportunities, time and again, to cash and win first-class live tournament packages - this time, to one of the most vibrant and engaging places in the world in Dublin, Ireland."
Two easy ways to qualify: Option #1, earn 50 Gnuf points between Sept. 10 and Oct. 10 to play a qualifying tourney on Oct. 11; top 10 in the qualifier go on to a following day final.
Option #2: Collect 1,000 points to automatically qualify for the Oct. 12 final, where the winner takes a $13,000 package, including buy-in plus expenses, for the Oct. 30-Nov. 3 European Poker Tour event in Dublin. An extra $2,000 in cash is also spread to the rest of the freeroll field.
As an added bonus: New players who sign up through a PokerListings.com link also receive a $500 sign-up bonus at 100% match - 10 times the standard.
"Gnuf," says Sundell, "as a poker room, is also seriously one of the best-kept secrets in online poker. And they understand exactly what players are looking for: modern graphics, imaginative promotions, big tournaments and a place to make your game better.
"One of their current promotions: They strapped two giant, half-ton dice to a helicopter and rolled them down a mountain. Now they're giving away a kayaking trip around Greenland and cash to players who bet on or guess how the dice rolled.
"That just shows the kind of creativity they have at Gnuf and, bottom line, you're always going to get something out of the ordinary," she adds. "We hope our players benefit from it as much as we enjoy seeing what they'll come up with next!"

My Career in Online Poker & Free Poker Sites
I've been playing poker since my grandpa taught me how to play when I was 11 years old. I'm married with a baby girl now, and my wife has been getting on me about spending less time at poker tournaments and more time at home. For a professional poker player, you can't just go from playing all the time--all over the world, for that matter--to not playing at all. My wife was serious, however, about keeping my butt grounded, so I started to brainstorm ways I could generate income from the best card game in the world without being away from home. The most obvious solution was, of course, online poker.
