Online poker games are extremely popular nowadays thanks to the unique experience of playing live real-money games with players from all over the world, and when it comes to excitement, the tournaments are the crown jewel of online poker. However, it is surprising to discover that many players who participate often in ring games, aren’t joining in on tournament action simply because they’re not familiar with the jargon and rules - and missing out on a great poker experience!

The internet gives poker players access to incredible winnings. While offline players can find massive prize pools only at the cost of very expensive entry fees, online poker rooms attract and reward players with huge prize pools, but still keep the buy-in at everyone’s reach. If you’re a good player, you have a shot at scoring thousands, and sometimes tens of thousands of dollars, without even leaving your home.

Thanks to Freerolls, taking the leap from ring games to tournaments isn’t that hard. New players who want to take a crack at tournaments without paying the entry fees are welcome to join free rolls - a tournament where the players don’t pay any buy-in, and where the internet poker rooms put their own money in the prize pool. Freerolls offer new players a fantastic opportunity to make their first step in the tournaments world, and also a chance to make money! Experienced players also love freerolls - after all, there is no risk or entry fee, but there’s still a prize pool to grab!

Another lucrative reason to start playing at tournaments is the added tournaments, which are also called guaranteed tournaments. In a regular tournament the pot includes the money that players bring in with their buy-in, so the pool is in proportion of the entry fee - The larger the buy-in, the larger the prize pool. However, in an added tournament, the poker room adds money to the pool on top of what players are already putting in, so the result is a big fat pot with a low buy-in.

Freerolls and guaranteed tournaments can be found almost every day on the schedules of leading online poker rooms as in www.PokerEon.com and players can easily find and join daily events as well as periodical added tournaments with tens of thousands of dollars in the prize pool.

Poker tournaments are very lucrative, but that’s not the only reason why regular players should join them. During ring games, you and your table mates can join a table or leave it whenever you feel like. You don’t always have a chance to really get to know the other players’ style and apply your strategy on them. Here, you know that these are dedicated players who aren’t here to hit a few lucky rounds and split. Sitting down and playing for several hours till your chips run out requires focus and strategy is a muscle that most players don’t flex in regular ring games. The very experience builds a better player.

The tournament creates an intensive interaction with the other players, and takes your dealings with them to a whole new level. This environment creates a more thrilling and interesting game. This very intensity is what makes tournaments the ultimate poker experience.
