If you love to play poker but can't afford the tournament buy-ins at casinos, don't sweat it. You can still play the game you love for cash prizes, without the buy-in fees. A tournament is hosted most every night of the week with anywhere from $100 to $200 paid out to the winner(s). A larger freeroll has been held monthly or bi-monthly (depending on venue participation) where the prize pool climbs as high as $1000...

14 players chop the June $15K freeroll tournament at River Spirit
Yes, I was among the bottom 7 players. AA < KK for half my stack put me in the bottom half. A steady stream of unplayable hands kept me there. When we chopped, I had around 60k chips.

$15K Freeroll -- chop for 6th place money
I played in the River Spirit monthly $15K freeroll today. 92 players entered. I was chip leader for blind levels 6 thru 10, then took three beats in rapid succession to move into the bottom half of the field. We chopped it going into blind level 13 (3000/6000/500) with 14 left. The top 7 got 5th place money. The bottom 7 got 6th place money. I wrote it up for examiner.com, which you can read here.
It took them 2 hours to process the payouts. While I waited I sat down in a cash game and won an additional $260, putting my total winnings for the day at $1,111.
After suffering from insomnia last night I'm completely exhausted.
Maybe I'll attempt a play by play later, if I can remember the hands. I'm guessing I won't remember most of it though. Just too damn tired.
Good news is my BR is much healthier. It was $400. I added $700 of my own money yesterday. Add to that today's win and we're at $2,211. Feeling good about it. The pressure is off.
