Play poker between Christmas and New Year’s Eve
Posted by: Randy Williams - Sun, 2010-12-26 14:17
The time between Christmas and New Year’s Eve is always an interesting time for the online poker industry. People usually don’t work during this stretch and they end up stuck in the house, so all those with any kind of interest in poker are more or less free to explore their hobby. Of course, there are all sorts of holiday-related chores to do which may keep some away from the poker tables, but the chance to play tons upon tons of poker is definitely there for most.
Where should you take your game though during this period? Assuming that – like all savvy poker players – you have accounts opened at several online poker rooms, you should keep your eyes peeled for the best promotions.
Get a leg up on the competition by qualifying early for the first major live
poker tournament of 2011, the Aussie Millions. Log in to PokerStars or open an account now and become one of the hundreds of players who will get a little taste of the southern hemisphere summer in the middle of the northern hemisphere winter.
Besides offering a way into the most heavily satellited live poker event in the world,
PokerStars has other aces up its sleeves too.
The Turbo Takedown offers a $1 million prize-pool, together with a bunch of other perks, like bounties and even an Audi TT thrown in on top of everything else.
If you miss out on Boxing Day action, heading over to Ladbrokes Poker still makes plenty of sense. They have the Winner Wonderland promotion running all the way to January 2, which offers a Las Vegas trip for two, complete with VIP perks and deep stack tickets to the Venetian.
PKR has a promotion which runs into January as well. The Christmas Cracker offers players generous guaranteed prize-pools and access to a freeroll which takes place on January 9th and which offers LCD TVs and Nintendo Wiis as prizes.
