PokerSchoolOnline members have built a unique community over the past eight or nine years and now you too can take part and enhance your poker abilities. The high level of play and experience you will encounter is unlike your usual freeplay cardrooms and with many new players (some beginning, some struggling, some refining their games), the new Poker Pages Free School cardroom now offers a similar setting to what players will find at any online poker site or in a live casino setting. A unique mix of experience, skill, patience and discipline is found in the new cardroom. Participants are finding the tables rich in targets, and quite profitable to those who apply strategies and applications they have learned and continue to hone.

In addition, a host of promotional incentives are offered in the free cardroom. To earn sponsorship points, members will compete in various multi-table and single table tournament leagues, as well as dynamite ring league competitions.

Read more about the sponsorship points and redemption (yes, you will be able to convert earned sponsorship points for entries into live play tournaments at participating casinos worldwide).

Your Dean at the Poker School is Al Spath.
