Players can start warming up for the upcoming 2009 World Series of Poker by heading to Titan Poker to participate in its fourth European Championship of Online (ECOOP IV) which started today, Monday, May 25, with a $250,000 guaranteed tournament.

By the end of the two week long series of daily tournaments, Titan Poker expects to give away some $4.5 million ($2 million more than was given out at the first ECOOP in December of 2007).

With events in Texas Holdem, 7-Card Stud, Omaha, and Omaha Hi/Lo; with No Limit, Limit, and Pot Limit events; and with turbo tournaments, 6-max tournaments, and events with rebuys and add-ons – ECOOP IV has something for everyone.

Midway through the series, on June 1, there’s a high-rolling $2,500 + $100 event with a $500,000 guaranteed prize pool. And the ECOOP IV Main Event on June 7 is a $1.5 million guaranteed tournament with a $1,500 + $80 buy-in.

The best way to play winning online poker is for free. That is, to win something for nothing, and the only way to do that is with freerolls. With this in mind, Hollywood Poker may be the place to go after a tumultuous workday. That’s because Hollywood Poker has initiated a freeroll series specifically with Monday through Friday nine-to-fivers in mind.

They’re calling it clubHOLLYWOODpoker Weekly Freeroll Series and it runs, predictably, every Monday through Friday at 5 pm ET. At stake: as much as $3,000. club HOLLYWOOD poker, incidentally, is HollywoodPoker’s player loyalty program which, among other benefits, offers members Prize Pool Boosters, an opportunity to multiply your tournament winnings by as much as 200%.

This of course is far from the only freeroll series Hollywood Poker offers. They also run a Red Carpet Welcome Freeroll every Monday night, accessible by way of their Feature Freeroll Series. It works like this, be one of the top 20 players in the Feature Freeroll and make it into the Quarter Freeroll. Be one of the top 20 finishers in the Quarter Roll and make it into the Fifty Roll. The top 20 from the Fifty Roll make it to the Red Carpet roll and a shot a $100, free.
