Poker Tip #8
When looking for a place to play online, consider how
long the card room has been in business for – 4-5
years is a long time in the online gaming world. Sites
associated with professional poker players also are more
likely to be reputable – the theory being that they
don’t want to be associated with a shady outfit.
The pro players do not want to put their reputations on
the line.
You can belong to more than one online casino or poker
room as I do. Some poker rooms offer a better sign up
bonus, some have better or more frequent freeroll tournaments.
Another may have easier ring games. There is no limit
to the number of poker rooms that you can join.
Do some research at a site that you trust which reviews
online casino and poker rooms. Start out by making a small
deposit. Try out the software and see if the site fits
your needs. Does the site offer games at the limits that
you want? Is it easy to withdraw cash? Are there enough
players online when you are likely to play so that you’ll
always have a good game available
By checking out the lobby of an online site you will
get to see who the players are in a particular game, the
percentage of flops that they are seeing – which
helps you find a tight or loose game, the number of hands
being played per hour.
The most profitable games will be the ones that have larger
than average pots and a high percentage of players that
are seeing the flop.
Just about all online casinos have games that start out
at limits as low as .05/.10 (some even lower!) which are
great for a beginner and increase in increments small
enough so that you can slowly get acclimated to playing
for larger pots. Of course if you prefer to go to the
higher limit or no limit games, there is no shortage of
these either.
