Learn To Play Online Poker

December 12th, 2009 Poker Suzie

Online poker is just like playing poker at home or in Las Vegas, it is indeed a game of skill and therefore your game can be improved by playing and practicing. Other forms of online gaming such as casino and bingo rely more on luck and providing a real entertainment factor where as poker gives you the ability to watch your game improve and climb up the ladder of professional players.

Why does playing poker online improve your game so much? well the big difference is the lack of a real life venue and real life opponents.

A Rakeback Overview

December 8th, 2009 Tom Kearns

When poker players are playing poker on the Internet, one of the fees that is paid is called a “rake”. The rake is paid by players on each pot in a game. For an individual who plays a lot of on-line poker there are many benefits to participating in a rakeback plan.

When a player enters a game they usually pay around 5% on the pot in rakeback. The cap for most of the on-line poker sites is three dollars. The fees can rake up fast when a person is playing multiple games. This is where the term “rakeback” originated.

An on-line poker site may figure the rake based on the amount of the pot and the number of people sitting at a table. Other sites figure the rake based on the actual people playing the game and the total pot. The amount that is paid is about the same with either type of calculation.

Participating in a rakeback plan, a player can get some of the pot fee back. Rakeback websites receive from 35-45% of the rake from on-poker sites. A player registered with the site receives a percentage of the money that has been collected from these sites.  Read more...

American Online Poker Today

December 1st, 2009 Alexis Corrie

It’s been a while since the PPA or the Poker Players Alliance has seen steps to improve the gaming experience of American poker players. The passing of the UIGEA has definitely starved the people in the United States who wanted to play poker online. This is due to the fact that the UIGEA has categorized poker along with other non-skilled gaming in the internet world.

But now it seems like that the transformation people look forward since 2006 has been started even though not in the same way as they have expected.

Nowadays, countless people believed that the House of Representatives would be the one to put an end to the UIGEA and will begin on making the online poker industry legal and regulated plus making the side note of taxing the whole online gambling industry.

Despite the fact that, Barney Frank’s bill in the House has frozen. Although it has over 50 cosponsors now, it has happened to clear that it will take some time for that bill to become a realistic contender for getting passed by the house.

In addition, New Jersey senator Robert Menendez initiated the Internet Poker and Games of Skill Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act at the same time much for the pleasure of the PPA.  Read more...

The Whole Story On Poker

November 28th, 2009 Jerry Lipton

One of the most widely known card games throughout the world is Poker. This game has evolved over time from the traditional in person card game to being played online between people in different countries. Poker gaming online now generates a return of over one billion dollars on an annual basis due to being offered on the web. Because this is a social game, the best poker strategy is for a player to monitor and gain knowledge of the other players skill.

The part that influences a poker players game is his or her mannerism and distinctions in his or her personality. Everyone who plays poker has a poker strategy and approach towards the game. If one plays against the same opponent for some time, it becomes easier to notice the nuances of the opposite player and guess each others moves. This advantage is not shared with online poker. Online games are much less personally involved and the social aspect of playing the game is lost when players can’t see each other. Because of this, poker players in the online realm have made the suggestion that user profiles, avatars and other “personal” improvements need to be made.  Read more...

The Importance of Poker Discipline

November 20th, 2009 Thomas Kearns

It is true for every sport that discipline is a key factor in consistent success. Despite the common understanding that poker is a gambling game of chance, you have to realize that if one day you are to become a profitable pro, you will have to establish sportsmanlike discipline of learning, understanding, and incessant practice. “Talent” is certainly essential, but even the greatest talent needs a method, and method is acquired from careful study.

There is actually no real spontaneous talent. Think of Mozart, truly a talented child protage. One who practiced without end even as a small child, without which he would be just another composer/pianist of some merit. Mozart proves the old adage that talent is oft-practiced potential. No one learns discipline by someone else beating it into them. It must be self-imposed.

Amateurs play for the fun and excitement of risk against blind Chance. That is what keeps the business alive. Professional players leave Chance no chance: the pro knows what his basic chances are and takes advantage of every opponent’s slip, remembers repetitive patterns, and calculates the current odds. The serious player does not expect to have simpleminded fun: rather, his takes pleasure in efficiently emptying pockets as a profession. Chance only enters the professional’s world as one of the elements against which he matches his intelligence and skill. The idea is not to gamble half-blindly, but to pitch oneself against the strategies of another, and win.  Read more...

Poker Luck Game Or Skill Game?

November 20th, 2009 Frank Patterson

Many people claim that a lot of sports players were just outright lucky. Think about Bob Gibson who was in’81 elected in the Hall of Fame and imagine people calling him ‘lucky.’ Well, one would need all the luck in the world to keep on pitching for 16 long years and not have your luck run out on you.

The same principle applies to the game of poker. As a poker player you certainly need luck but having too much of it can also become an issue. Yes, you actually read that right. If you’re not sure what I mean then keep reading to find out why too much of luck is actually a poker player’s worst enemy.

First of all, let’s talk about luck as it affects beginner level poker players. ‘Luck’ often is responsible for such a player winning the pot. It does take on a variety of forms. The most common being an unusually good hand.

However, a good player has no need for luck to play a part, in fact they rather like to bottle up their luck and store it in the basement. The main reason for this is that they mathematically calculate the best odds to win the game or lose the least amount of money.  Read more...

Texas Hold’em Poker: Chip, Card and Betting Tells – Part 4 of 4

November 14th, 2009 Daniel L. Cox

Chip Tells

The amount of force a player uses in moving their chips to the pot can be an obvious tell (subconscious action). If the player spikes their chips (slamming down a stack past the bet line), they are more likely to have a weak hand.

Be aware that fumbling of the chips may betray inexperience at a brick and mortar casino, and not betray the fact that the player has considerable experience online. Televised poker tournaments that draw their players from online qualifiers, such as Fox Sports Net tournaments sponsored by major online poker sites, can make this very apparent with some players.

When a player moves their chips closer to themselves after making a call or raise, they often have a strong hand. By placing them close, they can be subconsciously keeping their chips within easy reach to rake them back when they win. A player who uses a lot of force in tossing in the chips toward the pot, or flings them away, often has a marginal hand. This tossing away of the chips is often because they feel they have already lost the hand and the chips as well.  Read more...

November 13th, 2009 Tony Shaunber

Horse poker is a very challenging game in poker and is found to be played in most of the casinos and tournaments as well as online. Horse poker is a combination of various other poker games such as Holdem, Omaha, Razz, Seven card stud and Eight or better. The name HORSE is an acronym of the above games. The cards game also involves staking poker chips.

The way the game goes is the rules change in each round, as the dealer button rotates. This isn’t an easy game to play and even an experienced poker player will be challenged. You’ll need to practice a bit to get proficient to win the pot containing the clay poker chips.

Players who prefer to play challenging and very competent games in poker then horse poker is a great choice.
