on playin online poker and what are some of the good sites that you have played on and what kind of tables are good to play at.. cause I have played a couple real money games and havent done so good so i would just like a couple tips please thank you all
Hi joshchapman2.
The first thing i would do is to find a site i like and play the free money games to start with
If even for half an hour or so as this way you will get the feel of the site and how to use features such as chat tourney progress etc.you cannot really go wrong with any of the major sites but i would recommend Full Tilt to start with.
DO NOT jump straight in and start playing ring cash games.This is the easiest way to lose your bankroll.
Play small stake Sit n gos first single table s.If you can master the sit n go tables then play some ring games.
For instance if you deposit $20 this would give you enough to play 16 games and if you win 1 in 4 you will make profit.
Again it all depends on the reason that you play poker.
Is it for fun or profit or both.What duration will you play for 5/6 hours a night or once a week.
The most important thing for me is that i enjoy it when i play poker.
Find a site and game format that you enjoy playing and also find a good forum and stick with them.
You can get a lot of invaluable help from a good forum.
very good info i wish someone would have told me that when i first started,i lost a samll roll within hours...lol
Thanks I need all the tips I can get.
yea to start out i play all the freerolls to get use to the site.also while doing that research to fine all the best games to to play to build a bankroll.
If you are beating a level, stay at that level. One of the worse things you can do is think because you are beating .50/1.00 that you will crush 1/2.. That is the downfall of many poker players.
I would stick to small sit-n-go's and small buy-in tournaments till you build up a bankroll. Then slowly move up in stakes.
I believe you should play what you feel comfortable playing at any given time. If you are trying a new site then of course proceed with caution until you have played enough hands to get a feel of how the statistics are as well as how your opponents play. You will always have the "IF" factor when playing online, what if they have this and what if they have that, usually the person that bets from the get has no choice but to make a followup bet if nobody else does but any checks is a sign of weakness so pay attention to how the bets are being made it will help most of the time.....
good info HEBRIDIAN.
I don't play poker for a long time,and i hope this will help me.
Thank you !
ooh, thanks for the tips!

Personally, i like bodog site. I like the setup, however for some reason I cannot use poker tracker to grab bodog's hands. I think it's my computer problem tho. I also play at UB which it's quit hard to profit from in my experience.
i agree with the others on playing freeroll to build up your bank roll. it's really important to keep your bank roll within the limit and play proper limits.
i usually only play sit and go games as i have more luck profiting from them. I can just play real tight and get into the bubble. oh, btw, i like to play bodog's sit and go cuz it pays to 5th place. UB pays only the top 3. yet, ub's pay is more tho. anyway, i am thinking of trying out cake poker room to see if i could have more luck profiting.
Absolute poker has many freerolls running throughout the day, Bodog has 3 freerolls a day 2 are for 500$ and 1 for 300$. WSOP.com has satellites for a 3k package running 10 hours a day. that's where i chase the free money!
i wish i did that before i start loosing lol , thanks for the info , it might really help
I love playing in freerolls on FTP. I use mt FTP points to register for the satellites to their tournaments for free, it works pretty well.
