Cash flowing from PokerListings.com freerolls

By Arthur Crowson

The hits just keep coming for players that use PokerListings.com as an online poker resource. With freerolls available on a regular basis through a variety of poker rooms there's something for everyone.

On Wednesday we published the results of one such tournament that occurred on Full Tilt Poker wherein EMHOB won $810. Since then we've managed to chat with the winner regarding his big victory.

EMHOB is a 19-year-old student who goes to the University of Texas. He's been playing poker for three and a half years now and started with home games. EMHOB enjoys the social aspect of the game as well as its competitive nature.

After getting his fill of home games EMHOB decided to try his hand at online poker. PokerListings.com was an integral part of his transition to the online poker scene.

"Before I started playing poker online, I used PokerListings.com to decide which poker site I wanted to play on," he said. "It is a very helpful and informative site when it comes down to comparing and reviewing online poker sites but it also has a lot of interesting articles about the poker community as well."

EMHOB eventually found Full Tilt Poker and it was a perfect fit.

"I think Full Tilt Poker is a great site," he said. "I am very happy I chose to start playing poker on Full Tilt because it is very easy to use and navigate. It is also unique in the sense that professionals are playing on it regularly. It's also a bonus that the software is Mac-compatible."

Although it was EMHOB's biggest win to date he's still not sure what he wants to do with the money. He mentioned poker is just a hobby but if he does decide to play more, he's certainly got a bigger bankroll to play with.
