This week is going to be a huge week for Pokerspace and live tournaments. As part of the amazing Pokerspace promotion the Crew Cup, those from the winning Crew won a trip to Las Vegas to take part in the OFC Invade Vegas series of tournaments that pit Pokerspace against the best the Online Forum Challenge has to offer. I think Pokerspace is going to dominate as play begins tonight with the Warm up Event. Pokerspace has some serious talent besides the winning crew members from the M&M crew. A full contingent of Pokerspace players have come to Vegas to show the Pokerspace is the best poker forum out there.
Pokerspace Pro Steve Black and his World Series of Poker Run
After busting on a terrible bad beat in the opening hours of WSOP Event # 45, Steve bounced back in Event #47 and is about to take on Day #2 in an excellent chip position to at least cash if not take it even further. After a long a difficult day Steve moved up to about 30K in chips and in 92nd position of the remaining 476 players.
The action in Vegas is going to top notch to say the least. Show what Pokerspace has to offer! Not only free poker money, sweet promotions, and a hot spot for poker knowledge, but the home of some of the best online poker players online today.

Free Poker Money Daily Limit Increased at Pokerspace
Pokerspace's free poker money deals have become a very popular mainstay over the past few months, and one great reason for this is that so many people can take advantage of them. When Pokerspace first started their free poker money deals in March UltimateBet and Absolute Poker have been limited to just 10 free bankrolls per day, but they have now been expanded to 20.
Power Poker Free Money Deal Helps
Pokerspace added an additional free poker money deal to Power Poker recently and to coincide with this the other deals have now risen to 20/day. The Titan Poker deal has always sat at 20, but the UB and AP deals were limited to 10/day as that was the deal originally. But as popularity grew for the UB and AP brands Pokerspace was only happy to broaden the number of free bankrolls given out.
Pokerspace now hands out 65 bankrolls per day worth a combined $1,600!No one can say Pokerspace doesn't want to get players started on their own poker journey for free.

Poker Advice on Playing Pot Limit Omaha
Playing Pot Limit Omaha (PLO) has become a very popular game over the past few years as the major online poker pros like Tom Dwan have started to play high stakes games almost exclusively on PLO tables. The major advantage of this is that the action is almost constant as there is a higher percentage of players actively playing nearly every hand. This is where good Omaha poker advice becomes very important. Pot Limit Omaha is a hard game to master.
Betting in Pot Limit Omaha
Pokerspace's SocialDave recently posted an interesting piece of poker advice on how to properly bet in PLO as it easy to see the betting stakes go up quickly given that each player is given 4 hole cards instead of the 2 players receive in Hold'em. It is important be patient and not play too many hands. Pre-Flop betting is by far the most important part of betting in Omaha because this is usually where many inexperienced players become pot committed without having a decent hand.
The betting come post-flop comes down to the number of outs available to the player. The article runs down some quick stats on the number of outs prospective hands will have and in Omaha the number of hand combinations does go up.

How to Use Free Poker Money to Start a Large Bankroll
One question that comes up often is how to take a small amount of money and turn it into thousands? There is no easy answer to this question, but there is a plan and it certainly involves finding a free poker money deal and using it properly to build up a bankroll that will become the envy of your friends.
First: Get a Free Poker Money Deal From Pokerspace
The first step has to be to get the free poker money from Pokerspace. There are a number of great poker rooms to choose from like Absolute Poker, UltimateBet, and the new Power Poker. Each of these deals will give you a small influx of money to play with. The deals always require a certain amount of raked hands before you are allowed to withdraw the money, but this is a small price to pay for free money.
To get the number of raked hands in you should stick to some micro level ring games. In the process it is always hopeful that you will win some money, but if you break even in your quest that's always good too. Staying at micro levels will help keep the potential losses at a minimum in the process.
What to Play With Your Free Bankroll
A lot of pros obviously play cash ring games, but when you're starting out with a small bankroll it is better to stay away from cash games, the possibility of losing it all after going tilt is very easy. The start should be at the Sit'n'Go level. By playing SNGs you are opening yourself up to better odds of cashing than if you went to a cash game table or entered into a MTT. The time value of SNGs is the best way to keep your winning percentages up, and by playing more you are helping yourself keep up with the natural variances of poker. You're not going to win every time, but SNGs will help you win some of the time.
As far as what buy-in levels you are at this is directly contingent upon your bankroll level. You should try and never go above 5% of your bankroll per session. This means that if you have a $40 bankroll you should be playing in no higher than $2 SNGs. This will give you more chances to win. As you begin winning and moving your bankroll up be sure to move the stakes up very cautiously. You don't want to lose everything you've won just because you moved the stakes up too early and lost and few sessions in a row.
These are just some of the easiest ways to begin a successful online poker career with just a little bit of free poker money from Pokerspace.

Pokerspace and the Truth about No Deposit Bonus Codes
One of the biggest features of online poker rooms in comparison to brick and mortar casinos is that almost every single poker room offers some kind of bonus code to either give you added cash the second you deposit or an additional bonus money as you earn frequent player points. Neither way there are countless different types and Pokerspace has a lot too.
No Deposit Bonuses and Free Bankroll Comparisons
In the world of poker promotions there are differences in no deposit bonuses and free bankrolls. They are both filled with their pros and cons, but I find that it all depends on the poker room you want to play on and what you want to get out of your time playing online poker. For those out there who want to try out a new poker room or if you're very new to online poker you really can't do better than a free poker bankroll as Pokerspace members receive a free influx of cash deposited on a specific poker room to play around with.
I find that no deposit bonus codes that add money to your poker room account are great when there are no other deals present on Pokerspace, such as their PS Points deals, and I plan on depositing a decent amount of money. At the very least Pokerspace always has the best bonus codes for the best online poker rooms they don't already have private PS Point and rakeback deals.
How to Use Pokerspace's No Deposit Bonus Codes to Their Fullest
One thing to remember about any bonus code is that you will usually have to work a bit at releasing all that the deal has to offer. This means you will probably have to rake a bit on the room to release enough of that bonus to make a difference. If instant cash is what you are looking for in a bonus code then it is best to look at a smaller room or even Party Poker as they have a solid deposit bonus with Pokerspace.

Pokerspace, US Players, and the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act
Today is the day that U.S. poker players have been waiting for for over 4 years. Today is the day the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) goes into effect. This piece of legislation has created a lot of problems for many online poker players, poker rooms, legislators, and banking institutions. For months now the Pokerspace forum and blogs have been active with people wondering if they will turn on their computer and try to deposit money the full force of the U.S. government would all upon them, however, nothing of note has occurred. It's Y2K all over again. All hype and nothing to show for it.
Pokerspace: A Home for U.S. Poker Players
Pokerspace is perfectly able to deal with the problems the UIGEA creates for players. Pokerspace's virtual currency system (PS Points) allows U.S. players who have faced problems depositing on a poker room play for real value. PS Point tournaments dot the Pokerspace weekly tournament calendar as does member's only cash freerolls that require small PS Points buy-ins. This is a great way for U.S.-based players to get some cash onto a poker room without actually depositing the money themselves. Remember, it's not illegal to play online poker, it's illegal for a U.S. financial institution to knowingly deposit the money to a poker room.
If freerolls aren't what you want a free poker bankroll from Pokerspace is probably the best option for American players. At Pokerspace there are free bankrolls to UltimateBet, Absolute Poker, and Power Poker who are all willing to get more U.S. players. For one of these bankrolls just become a member and apply, it's as easy as that.
Good luck on the virtual felt and watch out for ole' Uncle Sam.
