Everyday Blog

I have written, and read, tons of articles on how to play poker, tips of playing poker and strategies, but one thing that I find isn’t touched on much, is where to play poker and free online poker.

If you play in person, I think it’s best to play against friends or acquaintances. You know they are trustworthy and they aren’t cheaters. Personally I prefer not to play in a casino because they get a large part of the pot and commission.

Internet online poker is another option, and my option of choice. There is an infinite number of players and many choices of poker room.

I will divide rooms between free and paid, not including those that play purely for fun and are 100% non profit. We want to win some money after all!

Here are some things to check to make sure the room is good:

The payment: Make sure that you choose a poker site that has quality and security certificates. Also read all of the small print to make sure that you can withdraw the money after you have put in the hard work to win it.

Are the games played enough for you to win? In real money games the room must run a rake and take a small part of the pot. Tournaments take a commission and there is a minimum number of participants to do them profitable. Does the room have enough members playing at once in the games and tourneys you want tom play to make it worthwhile? You should be able to see this easily by keeping an eye on their poker games software where numbers of players are shown.

Most sites will offer an attractive sign up bonus. Obviously this is paid with money from other players and there will be many conditions for the use and withdrawal of money . Make sure you read and fully understand this. Some rooms are better than others. Do not forget that the bank always wins but some do it more nastily than others!.

If I am playing pay poker then I spend most of my time at Titan Poker, however if I am playing free online poker the I head for NoPayPOKER.com. NoPayPOKER.com even give you $25 US to play with when you join, and there is no catch as long as you spend it at their site.

If you’re new to poker or don’t want to risk much or any money or just play fun poker then free online poker non-payment rooms are the ideal alternative: they get their money from advertisers, donations and not from player deposits and losses.

The only problem in these rooms is an acceptable limit of withdraw the money, which is entirely logical for the costs of proceeding that involves a payment. That’s the price you pay I guess.

Having spent time on over 30 online poker sites, I fully believe that NoPayPOKER.com is the free online poker tournaments site to play at, and Titan Poker if you want to play cash games.
