Today at 1pm EST, we’re holding a private $415 prize pool freeroll at Poker4ever. There’s no cost for entry (read: it is 100% free). The poker tournament has $415 in the prize pool and the password is beer. The field is expected to be quite small, so the path to the free prizes is much easier. Feel free to spread the word, invite a friend, an enemy, invite whoever!

To play in the free $415 poker tournament at Poker4ever, you must download the Poker4ever software through the special link here: https://www.poker4ever.com/en.get-started.sign-up?bonus=whereplay. Register a player account if you do not already have one. Log in and click on the “private” tab. Click the register button and enter the password of beer.

There’s a lot of poker to be played over this holiday weekend.  First, I want to wish all the Online Poker Circuit members a happy and safe holiday weekend.  I’ve consumed myself in several “online projects” over the past few weeks, which has me quite bogged down.  I’m looking forward to relaxing with “the fam” as well as making time to play some online poker.  One of those projects is Poker Links Online – several new poker rooms to choose from, many of which will be coming soon to the Online Poker Circuit.

That being said, our Online Poker Circuit Forum is now up and running.  All the passwords to future OPC money-added poker tournaments and freeroll poker tourneys will be posted in the confines of our forum.  You must join the forum for access to OPC tournament passwords.

Over the next several weeks, you will begin to notice a shift in the overall strategy of the Online Poker Circuit website.  I’m noticing an industry trend in which I plan to be on the leading edge of.  With that in mind, I know we have several members who are webmasters of their own poker website and/or own poker forums.  If you are a webmaster or forum owner, I want to hear from you, as this marketing strategy will surely benefit you.  Shoot me an email with your website’s address so we can “talk shop.”
