My mission is clear: ‘Play as many tournaments as you possibly can in a week and keep a record of your winnings.’ Sounds like a normal week so far. ‘Anything you can get into for free is fair game – no matter how you qualify – but you can’t buy-in.’ Oh, now I understand. FREEROLLS! But what are they – a tempting carrot-on- a-stick designed to lure you to one of the hundreds of online poker clients, or a reward for loyal and regular players?

But where do you find these freerolls? Well, pretty much every poker client runs freerolls, so take a look at the tournament section of your favourite’s lobby and list the games by ‘buy-in’ – you’ll be looking for the one with ‘$0’ against it.
