The game of poker has always been incredibly popular, but never more mainstream than it is these days. With the introduction of more casinos and even ’super’ casinos, plus extensive coverage of big tournaments on satellite and cable television, the popularity of the poker table has never been greater. This has resulted in a large increase in the number of people trying their luck at the online poker tables. This has to be the easiest way ever to enjoy a competitive game of poker against real competition, though it has suffered a somewhat tarnished reputation due to some less than reputable sites abusing their position and attempts by some people to cheat the system. However, things have tightened up in recent times and new regulations introduced that sites have to abide by. So there are now some great sites out there that take their responsibilities seriously and you can use with confidence. Playing the game online poker for a living or just pure fun is completely within your abilities and just possible if you learn some easy rules about the game online poker. However, it takes a great blend of aptitude, enthusiasm, staying power, obedience and the right kind of temper to succeed. To successfully play game online poker, one must study and work on the game before going for it. Reading a good book will surely help you out. You must be sure that you learn all the rules, tricks and conditions of the game online poker.

There are some very important things that you should have in mind before playing online poker. First you should know how to choose a table, second you should know were to sit at the table you choose and last but not least you should know when to live the table. First of all when you are choosing an online poker table you should think of choosing one with players who are of a lesser skill level than you. So when you select a table the statistics will appear. Usually you will be given the following info: hands per hour, percentage of players seeing the flop, and average pot size. An important thing is that hands per must be very high, because when the game is fast you can make more money. The perfect table is a loose one. So you should carefully look at the number of players seeing the flop. So if the percentage is at least 30 at a table with 10 players than its good. You should look for lower limits.

The best thing for you is to have the stronger players on your right. This way you can act after they do. If you never saw those players playing you should try to watch them for a while. You should observe and take in mind if a player is loose or tight. After this try to position yourself in order to have the tight players on your right. If you have the luck to find any maniacs at the online Poker table on your left you dispose of many advantages. A maniac is a person who loves to rise with little to back up. So you can see how the other players react to his bets, if they have good hands to call him.

Before every hand you have to questions in your mind: to leave or not to leave. It’s important that you are the one that makes this choice not the other players at the table. If you feel that you are loosing you should ask your self another two questions. Is this the best table for me ‘am I in shape’ so try too see if the reasons that made you choose that online poker table still exist. Check if any of the poor players have left or if any good players have arrived. Is everyone still playing as loose as they were when you began’ even after you decided that there are the same table conditions you should check the other tables. Maybe you can find a better one.

blackjack is one of the most entertaining cards games one would have ever played, and it’s pretty easy to understand. How good are you at blackjack? There are three simple ways to increase your chances of winning at blackjack. They are:

{1} you should always double down if you have 11. The chances of scoring 20 or higher are very high. {2} why is splitting 8’s generally a good idea? Because holding a 16 hand is not very good. If you split your 8’s, you now have a realistic chance of scoring 18 or higher. Even if you don’t win both hands, you should at least win one of the hands, meaning you won’t win or lose any money. {3} if the dealer is showing a 5 or 6 hand, while you hold a 7 to 11 hand, then it is recommend doubling down. Be warned though that this tip is not for the feint hearted. If you cannot afford to lose, or don’t have much money left, then I wouldn’t recommend using this tip. It does work a lot of the time though, as demonstrated by my friends at the casino.

Perhaps something else to consider (we certainly did) is to find some good tips on poker playing to help make your online poker experience more enjoyable and hopefully successful.

Is there any other online poker cheat programs other than the ones here http://www.pkrcheats.com ?

co to support@absolutepoker.com address your question to A.J. Green from what i have heard he knows all about how to cheat on a poker site.

I want to know where I can buy casino poker chips and cards for a good price and trusted site.

If you say ebay or something please provide a link to the auction. 10 points
I can't go in a casino due to the fact im not 21 or even 18. And I don't live anywhere near one that my parents would be able to.

So I basically need a website.

I play in a weekly poker game with some guys and there is this one guy who always seems to have GREAT hands when he's the dealer. I would say 90% of the time I go heads up with him when he's dealer, I lose to a pretty good hand. Aside from this, he also is very loose on asking others to cut the deck when he deals. Which everyone else does.

So the question is, is it possible to stack the deck in your favor if you're the dealer? I can see insuring yourself one good hold card but to make it so that you had two good hold cards and a good lay down on the table just seems impossible to me. Just wondering if I'm either paranoid or should stop going heads to heads with this guy.

This is for Texas Hold'em Poker. Thanks.
Damn it! I was actually hoping the answer would be negative but inside I knew better.

Is there anything I should look for then when he's dealing? Is it possible to cheat even if I cut the deck? I try to do that but I don't always get to it before he deals or I'm in the middle of a conversation with another friend. Thanks in advance everyone.

It is very possible that someone is stacking the deck. But it takes a hell of a lot of skill to do. The dealer would need to locate the good cards and hide them somewhere where the shuffle won't get them. He then needs to place them somewhere where he can deal them to himself. One such method is to place them at the bottom of the deck and when he deals to himself he pulls the card off the bottom of the deck and deals it to himself.

One way to protect against this is to ensure you are using a cut card. This makes it harder to access the bottom of the deck. Also you should insist that EVERYONE allows another player to cut the deck after it has been shuffled.

The odds are your friend is not stacking the deck. It requires months of intensive practice to become that good at it. The average amateur poker player does not have that kind of skill.

I'm leaving for Vegas but want to experience everything I can on the strip. I'll be staying at the Paris Las Vegas. Anybody have any pointers on what would be good to do while on the strip?

Check out the shark reef at mandalay, shop at the forum in ceasars, go to the outlet off of charleston dr. (going downtown 10-15min), visit the lion habitat, ride the roller coasters on stratosphere and nyny, go bowling at the orleans, lounge at the pool, ellis island (in back of strip next to a motel 8 or something like that) has cheap fantastic meals- you can get a rack of ribs and some for about $4.99 almost enough to feed at least 3 people, go to the top of the eiffel tower at night and watch the fountain show…..just to name a few

I've played strip poker with a bunch of different rules, I was wondering if anyone has any favorite strip poker rules.

My rule is to only play if all the other players are female. I might not win…..but how can i lose?

How do you know your credit card info isn't being hi-jacked by a hacker? The uneasy feeling chewing on that question should be enough to allow one to steer clear of such sites.

You can learn to play the "real thing" by playing their free "pratice mode" gameplay.

My advice: Register using totally fake name, address, email address–even using "555-555-5555" as your telephone number, then enjoy the "pratice mode".

Preferably something that I can find online, I've found most of the tips offered on sites but i'm looking for a good in depth read covering all aspects of the online poker world. SnG, MTT, Cash tables etc.

For tournanments I've been reading Harrington on Hold 'Em, it's the best tournament book I've read.

The only way to cheat is to play with someone you know, and exchange information about your cards either by phone or instant message. Knowing some extra cards in the deck that have been dealt can help you with your odds. If three or four people in a room know each other and play together in this manner, they can have a distinct edge.

But realistically they would have to be very good players to use that information in a truly useful manner. The major sites have sophisticated software to detect that kind of cheating, so it is hardly as common as some might expect you to believe.

Also some people will tell you that they know someone who has special software that allows you to see the cards of other players. This is a total BS urban legend, and such software does not exist.

Generally speaking you are going to be just as safe playing cards online as you are in real life. The only real problem is that you are getting dealt cards many times faster. If there is a hole in your game, you have a greater chance of winning more money more quickly than a real casino.
