November 9 - There was a time when playing at Poker.com wasn't that high on my list of priorities, but these days there aren't that many quality poker rooms making juicy bonus offers to US-based players. Poker.com's reload bonus and free satellite entries suddenly make them look a lot more attractive to serious poker players.
If you're a real money player at Poker.com you can qualify for a 50% reload bonus up to $250 by adding the coupon code NOVRELOAD06 when you make a new deposit.
If you've never played at this room before you can get their 100% bonus sign up offer up to $100 free, which also offers very good value in that it is easy to clear.
They're also handing out free satellite tickets worth $11, and Poker.com has some decent tie-ins to major land-based tournaments, notably the Aussie Millions, which will be a world-class event.
The best aspect of this poker room is the consistently weak standard of opposition, and it's steadily moving up in my rankings of online rooms. I do have to give a special mention to Full Tilt Poker, which is now the ultimate spot to play medium to large cash games. They're doing a great job and one only hopes that they find a way to continue in the face of this new legislation.
