Winning
at the Best Online Poker Rooms.
By
Pokerlistings. August 2006.
To win at the best online poker rooms,
first you've got to find the best
online poker rooms. While there are many dimensions
one could use to determine which one is the best,
what you really want to know is which online poker
room is the best for you. There are a number
of factors which will determine this, and they will
not be the same for every player. Some things you
might want to consider are the variety of games, the
strength of your opposition, and the types of bonuses
that are offered. Some sites offer more features for
tracking your opponents and the style of the game,
which can be very useful. Through observation, trial
and error, you should be able to discover which site
meets your needs the best, and where you have the
most success.
Once you've found that perfect site,
how do you put yourself in a position to win? The
most important factor in winning at the best online
poker rooms is focus. Even at a casino, where
you are immersed in poker atmosphere, it is easy to
become bored or distracted after many hours of play.
Online, this is an even greater danger. Sitting in
one place staring at one thing for hours on end can
cause one to become numb and distracted. At a time
when you might decide to leave a live casino because
of fatigue, being at home may make you feel that it
is okay to sit and continue playing until long after
you should have stopped. Be aware of what your mind
and body is telling you. If it is time to quit, it
is time to quit. If you find yourself playing hands
you shouldn't "just for fun," it is a signal to get
up and leave the game for a while. The nice thing
about online play is that there will always be a game
for you when you are ready to resume.
Take advantage of the site's software
for keeping notes on your opponents and statistics
on the games. These can be invaluable tools for your
success. Unlike live casino games where you never
know what you are going to get, you can put yourself
in position to be far more prepared than your
opponents when you sit down to play a game online.
Follow players you think are weak, or whose game you
know well. If you can sit down in a game with two
or more of these players, you can see your profits
skyrocket. Don't worry, most players won't notice
that you are following them, and if they do, there
isn't too much they can do about it. Most importantly,
play smart poker. No amount of tracking or table selection
can help you if you don't play as correctly and as
well as you can. Play logically, not emotionally,
and quit whenever you suspect you are not playing
your best game. If you can do that consistently, you
can be a winning player online.

Poker
is one of the biggest poker rooms in the world and
you will always be able to quickly find the game and
limit of your choice. Don't waste your time on small
poker rooms that have not achieved critical mass.
Great interface, clean games and generous player points
system. Sign up bonus for new accounts.
Pacific
Poker is another one of the giant poker rooms
where you don't have to wait for ages for your game
of choice. One of the reasons I love playing at Pacific
is that the games often seem to be of a relatively
low standard. Some sites boast lots of famous players
and pros, but if you just want to win money then Pacific
is one of the best sites around. Good new account
bonuses, nice interface, super fast dealing and clean
games make this site one of the best.
