couple new sites

just wanted to let everyone know about a couple new sites, the first is www.junglepoker.com this one is great and they are having lots of freerolls along with money as a prize you also get a qualifier seat for wsop tourney great site,,,,, next one is www.pokerpasia.com this one has just started and are running some small dollar freerolls but very low signups right now . I haven't been playing there much and already have won 12 dollars, but like i said the toruney amounts are small, like 5 and 10 dollars mostly but they do have some 50 and 100 dollar ones just not as often let me know what you think if you visit them

Are they Beta testing or are they up and going?

Jungle is in pre-launch (i.e. beta) claims to be giving away $75000 in freerolls over 3 weeks, so with a week to go the last $25,000 of that is up for grabs, and could be worth going for.
PokerPasia is in beta, and the $5 and $10 freerolls look to have 30-60 people in, so they should be fairly easy to win money in... both look worth having a try in... if you spot anyone called starfall on either, then it's me...

PokerPasia doesn't look so great on closer inspection, as you need to place in the top 3 or 4 places to win anything...
On the other hand, JunglePoker looks great - I placed 4th in the Omaha Hi/Lo tournament last night (out of nearly 1000) for $15 (knocked out when someone hit one of 4 outs to make a full house against my made straight, otherwise I may even have won it outright for $80), and earlier placed 23rd (out of 1409) in a No Limit Holdem freeroll for $24 - again no particularly challenging players until late on, and the only reason I bust out was that I lost a couple of all-in races in a row to lose half my chips then bust out. Still, my bankroll on Jungle is at $39 so far as a result, and it's looking hopeful that I can get more before the end of their giveaway period
Generally a lot of the players are weak, so later on you can make a lot of steals compared to most freerolls.

thanks star and zoied
gonna try jungle for the 11:00 freeroll

On the freerolls, I bust out of the PLO8 one last night, playing more aggresively, and putting too many of my chips in before the flop. First one (where I got 4th) I raised a bit pre-flop, but mostly raise with a made hand or sufficient draws, and this time I tried to get a big stack earlier by being more aggressive pre-flop. With hindsight, I think this was wrong, especially since plenty of players would play 2 pair or the like for all their chips, so there was no need to build the pot so much pre-flop... I'll try again tonight hopefully and see what strategies work best on these freerolls.

Clean, let us know your screen name and any of us can say high on there if we spot you in a tourny.

For reference, the money you win can't be withdrawn immediately, but you have to either wager it in tournaments or play 2x your bankroll in raked hands to clear it, but you can play with that bonus money, so it's not so bad.

I have played Pasia and Jungle Poker.

Pasia is a great place for beginners to try to hone their poker skills. They have hourly freerolls as well as table games. A newbie to poker can sit down on their penny table and get quite a few hands in with a $3 first place win in a freeroll. Just be careful of the big stacks, my advice would be to play your cards, not their bets.

Jungle Poker is awesome. I can see Jungle soon to become a very popluar place. I won a $1000 Friday night freeroll for $200 for 1st place. I placed in a few Heads Up Freerolls too. Since they have gone live, they do not have as many freerolls during the day, but you can play in $5 or $10 buyins.

After Jungle went live, I had to earn 420 points to change my restricted winnings into real money. That took about 5 hours playing off and on for a day. I am now allowed to cashout over $200. As long as my withdrawal request goes thur without any problem, I will not have a problem depositing with Jungle.
