Moving Forward From the Online Casino |
| If you have ever participated in an online casino poker tournament, then you know how exciting it is to reach the final table or the top three. As thrilling as the online casino may be, playing at a poker tournament at a land-based casino is exponentially more so. The online casino does offer you the comforts and convenience of gambling at a poker tournament whenever you would like, but the land-based casino allows you to interact directly with players. If you have managed to do well at online casino tournaments perhaps you should consider entering higher level tournaments at a casino near you. The only problem with these casino tournaments is the buy-in price. At the online casino you can generally find a low buy-in table or even a freeroll tournament, however, to make it into the big name tournaments at the land-based casino you have to put up big money. Many online casino players, regardless of how good they are, can not afford to put down the money necessary to join tournaments, such as the World Poker Tour and the like. One online casino poker player, who has one several tournaments in the past, has found a way around the system. Auctioning himself at eBay in order to find a company to sponsor him for the WPT in Atlantic City, NJ. Scott Neuman managed to get into the poker tournament in hopes of making a name for himself outside of the online casino arena. By receiving sponsorship, he has not only allowed his poker dreams to come true; he has opened the door for many other online casino champions who would want to enter the expensive poker tournaments at land-based casinos. |
