Where To Play Online Poker

Before choosing your first online poker room to play at you should figure out exactly what your intentions are. Will you be looking at playing cash games or tournaments? Limit poker or no limit poker? Are you looking for a large deposit bonus? Will you mostly be playing Hold’em or is there other games that you would like to be playing? The amount of questions will go on and on…

Although its hard to point out exactly what room you should pick from a single article. Its a very good idea to read each rooms detailed review, which will reveal a lot more information about the site. Or visit the websites and download the room. From there you can have a peak around within the software. The online poker rooms will allow you to play with fake money for as long as it takes you to get comfortable playing online. Please note Cake Poker is the only site that does NOT allow poker site data-mining software programs.

Tournaments: (1) PokerStars (2) Full Tilt Poker (3) Cake Poker (4) Chan Poker (5) Party Poker

Reasoning: PokerStars focuses on promoting there tournaments and host more tournaments then any of these sites combined. You will find superior tournament action at PokerStars. Full Tilt Poker also hosts some great tournaments such as the Full Tilt Online Poker Series which runs a comple times a year. The only reason Cake Poker is ahead of Chan and Party is because Cake has re-buy tournaments that run daily that do not meet the guarantee magic number. Which means that, there is overlay in the tournaments that Cake Poker has to cover.

Cash Games: (1) Cake Poker (2) Party Poker (3) Chan Poker (4) PokerStars (5) Full Tilt Poker

Reasoning: Cake Poker may not have as much player volume as the other sites but there action is by far the best. There are several shooters per table that are just looking to gamble. Also, Cake Poker does not allow 3rd party software that gives players an advantage. Party Poker also hosts some great games with lots of shooters. However, since they allow 3rd party software we recommend Cake Poker ahead of them. PokerStars and Full Tilt has very tight games that are very solid.

Bonus Size: (1) Chan Poker (2) Cake Poker (3) Party Poker (4) Full Tilt Poker (5) PokerStars

Reasoning: Chan Poker has a 100% up to $1000 that clears moderately fast. Cake Poker has a 100% up to $500 that clears fairly quickly. Party Poker’s 30% deposit bonus up to $150 is fairly weak, however it clears very fast. Full Tilt Poker’s deposit bonus is 100% up to $600, the downside of this bonus is that its very hard to clear. PokerStars bonus is very small with a 100% up to a whopping $50.

Game Variety: (1) PokerStars (2) Party Poker (3) Full Tilt Poker (4) Chan Poker (5) Cake Poker

Reasoning: The numbers speak for themselves, the more players you have the more chances games other then Texas Hold’em will get fired up.
