INTRODUCTION - SO WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT ONLINE POKER?

In the last few years, poker has become tremendously popular. Texas Hold 'Em tournaments can be watched on television every night, and ESPN even features a poker section on its website! (Click here). Part of the reason for this huge boost in popularity is the rise of online poker rooms. Years ago, poker could only be played in home games or at casinos, but now anybody who has a computer can go online and play against other players for money - or just play free poker for fun! These online poker sites offer a huge advantage: you can always find a game! And if this instant access to poker games like Texas Hold 'Em, Omaha, 7 Card Stud - as well as others - wasn't enough of an incentive to try online poker, these online poker rooms offer great sign up bonuses as well as the option to play for fun using play money, so beginners can familiarize themselves with the game before playing for real money!

SO HOW DO I START PLAYING AT AN ONLINE POKER SITE?

After you select an online poker site and signup, you can decide to play for fun or real money. To play for real money, you will have to follow the instructions for depositing (see the page on depositing for more information) and then you're all set! Choose your poker game (everything from Texas Hold 'Em to Omaha, Omaha Hi/Low Split, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Low Split, and sometimes others like Pineapple and 5 Card Stud) and decide what type of game you'd like to play (fixed limit bets, no limit, or a variety of tournaments). Then sit down at your table and start playing against other people from around the world!

THE ONLINE POKER ROOMS REVIEWED HERE ARE WELL ESTABLISHED, REPUTABLE AND HONEST.

Since you are not playing against a casino dealer (this works in your favor because you can have an advantage over other players if you learn how to play well), online poker rooms take a small amount off of the pot from each hand - called the "rake" - or collect a small entry fee for each tournament. Basically, there is no incentive or mechanism for the poker sites to cheat players - they just want you to be happy and play a lot! In addition, since the online poker industry is highly competitive, if word got out that one of these poker rooms was somehow unfair, that poker room would suffer a huge loss in players and eventually go out of business.
