I am happy to announce that I will be running the first ever BankrollBoost.com / FuzionPoker.com freeroll 3 weeks from today. Here are the details:

Date: Sunday December 9th, 2007
Time: 15:00 EST (19:00 GMT / 12:00 MST)
Registration: Send a PM to Graham on Fuzion Poker with your username at Carbon Poker. If you don’t have one, you can create one here. This will ensure that the password does not get leaked keeping the player field very small, and more money for the winners!
Registration Closes: Friday, December 7th, 2007 – Unfortunately late submissions will not be allowed to play in this event because I have to send them the player list 2 days before the tournament.
Requirements: You must make at least 10 new posts in the Fuzion Poker Forum before the registration closes for the tournament.
Prizes: $200 Prize Pool + $25 bounty on me (I will send you the money to your player account).  I am pushing to get some additional prizes for the top 3 players (ie some tournament entries, but I still need to confirm this with my contact).
The Game: No Limit Holdem. 2000 Starting Chips.

If you have never played at Carbon Poker before, it runs on the same network and is owned by Poker.com.  Their software is really simple, clean looking and easy to use.  I like it a lot.  I am going to write a better review shortly, but for now, here is a screenshot of their software:
