We are very exited to announce that free online pokerNoPay resident pro D M Vadnais who is the master of the pen as well as the cards is putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) again to produce a new and exclusive poker lesson series for NoPayPOKER members.
Given the addition of the many relationships established between us here at free online poker NoPayPOKER and ‘real money’ online poker sites such as PartyPoker, Feltstars and Titan we have asked our Resident Professional, D. Michael Vadnais, to develop a series of Articles on ‘How To’ successfully play in the ‘Real Money’ games.
Many players start out on NoPay in order to learn how to play poker in safety, at no risk of loss. After gaining confidence and skill the next step is to play real cash poker on one of the many online poker money sites. There are however some differences between online free poker and the cash game and this series is intended to guide free players though the change so that they can make the transition to cash poker as smoothly and profitably as possible.
The new series of Articles will be posted exclusively at NoPayPoker. There will be a total of seven (7) Articles, and a new Article will be available to NoPay members each month. All of the Articles will be ‘tutorials’; designed to make you a ‘Real Money’ winner at online poker money sites.
The first Article will be posted in April of 2011, and the last Article will be posted in October of 2011. So, look for the individual Articles at the beginning of April, May, June, July, August, September, and October. And, if you’ve put NoPayPoker winnings into one or more of the Internet Gaming Sites, read — learn — and win big !!!!
The following list, and a brief content summary, identifies each of the 7 Articles:
Article 1: HOPE FOR THE VERY BEST; EXPECT THE WORST
