Mark's March Tournament Preview
By Mark Napolitano
There are 22 Events listed this month for March. From New Zealand to Europe and back to the United States. You're guaranteed to find an event to fill your poker needs. There's a pattern developing so far this year in Tournament rooms around the world. Attendance is up in just about every event we've featured on PokerPages. If this is any indication for things to come in 2004, you'll want to be sure to call ahead to see if you can reserve your seat. This month
there some annual classics Like Reno Hilton's World Poker Challenge and the 8th annual Station Poker Classic, as well as some old events that have changed venues like the Poker Millions being held this year at Sky TV Studios in Osterley, England.
If you're a member of PokerSchoolOnline or just curious to see what it's all about, be sure to check out our 2 PSO Live Tour events in March. There's a $300 buy in No Limit Hold 'Em match on the 24th at Reno Hilton's WPT World Poker Challenge and a $200 Pot Limit Hold 'Em PSO Live event on March 15th at the Grosvenor Casino Victoria's British Open. These events are open to everyone, but the PokerSchool Member that finishes highest in these events receive 250 PSO Sponsorship points and an entry into the PSO Grand LIVE TOUR Final held in January 2005. I'll be attending the British Open this year, so come by and say hi before you take your seat to the PSO Live event on the 15th.

Mark's Pick of the Month
Of the many great events this month to pick from for my pick, hands down, it would have to be the Foxwoods' New England Poker Classic. Even though
I'll be busy playing at the Vic, this event has everything a tournament player could want: Tons of players, huge prize pools, and affordable buy-ins.
Take all that into consideration and then factor in that all of this is hosted at one of the best poker rooms the east coast has to offer, and you
can't go wrong.
Remember if you need to polish up those Poker Skills, or just practice as much as you can without loosing your hat, you can always check out
www.PokerSchoolOnline.com where you can learn from the experts, and win live sponsorship points to
buy into the major events reported by www.PokerPages.com.
