Playing Online Poker

Online poker rooms are one of the best places to learn to play the different variants of poker or just improve your skills. They are especially good for beginners as it is impossible to embarrass yourself by making a wrong move. The poker software greys out or highlights the buttons informing the player of which options are available. Effectively showing the player if and when they can raise, re-raise, check, bet or call making it ideal for beginners learning the game. The majority of the top poker sites have poker schools and beginners tables where you can learn your technique and perfect your playing style. They have free tables so you can evaluate each website before joining or just practice playing for free.

Once you have learnt your technique and you are confident enough you will want to play for real. You can start on the low stake pot limit tables playing for pennies and then work your way up to higher stakes and tournaments. Most online poker websites offer good sign up bonuses ranging from 25% up to 200%. So before joining do some shopping around to find the best current offers. Before playing make sure you set yourself a limit and that you have read the rules and memorised the winning hands and their hierarchy. If you need to, then keep the winning hands window open so that you can refer to it whilst playing. Always look at the community cards and observe what the other players are doing and think to yourself, what possible hands using the community cards could your opponents possibly have. A good way to hone your technique is to join a $1 feeder tournament. These are cheap to join and have high winnings. Be warned though if you are playing well you could be playing for anything up to 4 hours depending on the number of players. Nothing beats the rush of adrenaline that you get when you make it to the final table or qualify for the next level of the tournament.
