Playing Poker Moving From Online Games To Real Life Casinos

Let’s say you have played online poker for a while and now are curious about real poker rooms. When you go for the first time in a casino, things get different and you might face some emotion you will have to hide like anxiety, hesitation and even fear. Even if you get a little intimidated at first because of the huge rooms and the agitation all around you must go past that quickly and remember that is it all about poker here too.

When you first enter you will see many poker tables everywhere and people at each table, girls that serve drinks and persons that bring the chips or take them. The management employees will be dressed elegantly and they will be all over you since the moment they spot you, trying to make you as comfortable as possible. The overall atmosphere won’t be quiet as you might expect. People come in casino mostly to have fun, they are usually middle-aged or older persons that try to escape for a while the tumult of everyday life, so they will talk, laugh or even get mad once in a while.

Before heading for your casino, be aware that most casinos have a dress code so make sure you are dressed as you should. And also, if you are a young poker player, online you can play from the age of 18 in most poker room but in a casino you won’t be able to enter unless you are 21(the legal age).

Very near to the entrance in a real casino you will find a board that tells you which tables have available places and who is waiting to sit down at which table. There will be a worker next to that board that is there to ask you what you want to play and to direct you to the table as soon as a place is available.

Your chips will be brought to your table by the chip runner and you can place then on your rack as you find it suitable and convenient. You can now start playing hands at your table. In the unreliable case (for the casino) in which you win a pot straight from the first tries, then you should know that in real casino, because the dealer is a real person and not one of the players, people tips the dealer each time they win. Simply take some of your chips and hands them over to the dealer. Tip some amount that won’t influent your overall winning for the day.

There are a few things that you should try to avoid if you wish to be welcomed and to come back again. You are not allowed to curse at people. Everything must be civilized, of course. Also, do not scream at dealers or offend them, they are doing they job and they do not take sides. It is possible that you won’t be allowed to use your cell phone, so better turn it off when entering the casino. And lastly, do not slow down the game speed. Avoid having the dealer remind you several times that it is your turn, it is still a poker game not a night out with friends.

Online Poker Tournaments A Two Part Primer Part 1

If you’ve ever watched any of the number of Poker Tournaments on TV you’re probably aware of the excitement these tournaments can generate. There’s really nothing like going “all in” when you’re playing heads up, knowing that the entire prize pool is at stake. Well Tournament Poker is not just for the pros anymore. Your favorite Online Poker Room probably has a tournament going on right now. If you’ve never played in an online tournament here’s some things you ought to know.
Anatomy of an Online Poker Tournament
Most online poker rooms offer tournament play. A quick visit to their website will tell you everything you’ll need to know about their upcoming tournament schedule. Information like the buy-in, type of tournament, starting time is clearly displayed; you simply read the schedule and then make your decision. Here’s what a typical tournament entry looks like:
6:00 PM ET (10:00 PM GMT) 30+3 NL Texas Hold’em
This simply means that the tournament starts at 6PM Eastern Standard Time, it’s a No Limit (NL) Texas Hold’em Game. The 30+3 is the buy-in. These numbers tell you that it will cost you $33 to play in this tournament; it’s listed this way to let you know that you will be paying $30 toward the prize pool and $3 to the pokerroom. To play in this tournament you’ll need to register sometime prior to 6PM. Registration essentially means paying the entry fee ($33).
A few minutes before 6PM you should launch the pokerroom and login. Further details are specific to the pokerroom you’re playing at, but most likely you’ll automatically be taken to the tournament at the appropriate time.
At the start of the tournament, everyone will have the same number of chips (1,500 is a typical number). Play will commence as usual, blinds, the dealer button and betting order will be handled just like in non-tournament play. As hands won and lost and chips are moved around the table, some players will lose all of the chips and be eliminated. The tournament will continue until one player has won all of the chips. That person will be declared the winner and will take home the largest share of the prize pool.
Most tournaments will have more then one winner, some larger tournaments can have five or more. The final player will win the biggest prize; the second, third, forth… place finishers will each win lesser prizes. Any player that wins a prize is said to have finished “in the money”

Online Poker Satellites How to Turn as Little as 1 into Millions

What do Dr. Vic Fey, an obstetrician from Clinton, Oklahoma, and Erick Brenes, a farmer from Costa Rica have in common? They both made it to the final table of The World Poker Tour’s Aruba Poker Classic. And what makes it more remarkable is they won their $6,000 buy-in and the trip to Aruba by playing a $27 satellite tournament at the online poker room, Ultimate Bet. Neither of these men are professional poker players but at the end of the tournament Vic Fey finished in 6th place and won $105,000 and Erick Brenes finished in first and went home to Costa Rica $1,417,000 richer. Not bad for a $27 investment.

What are satellites and how do they work? Basically a satellite is a way to enter a major tournament and play for big money without having to pay the large buy-in required. For example, the buy-in for the World Series of Poker (WSOP) is $10,000. An on-line poker room could sponser a tournament with a $1,350 buy-in (they will also charge somewhere around 9-10% for a registration fee). For every 10 players in the tournament there would be a prize pool of $13,500, enough for the single buy-in to the WSOP and some extra for spending money. So for a $1,350 you could win your entry to the major tournament. If there are 100 players then the players who finish in one of the top 10 positions would be on their way to Las Vegas and a chance at $10,000,000, the estimated top prize in this years tournament.

A thousand dollars is still a little steep if you ask me but you’re dying to play in the WSOP. So you go to an online poker site like Royal Vegas Poker. There, they have a way for you to make it to the World Series for as little as $1. It takes six steps and works like this:

Step 1: You pay a $1 buy-in and a $.10 registration fee. You play against ten other players. If you come in first or second you’ve made it to step two.

Step 2: You enter this tournament by either coming in first or second in step 1 or by directly buying in for $5 + $0.50. Come in first or second and you move on to step three. Come in third and you get to play level 2 again free.

Step 3: Same deal. Enter by placing 1st or 2nd in the previous step or buy-in for $22.50 + $2.25. The final 2 players get free entry to step four and third place lets you repeat step 3 and pays you $2.75.

Step 4: The buy-in for this level is $100 + $10. Come in first or second and go to step 5. Come in third and play step 4 over again.

Step 5: If you happen to have $450 + $45 you can buy-in to this level. If you’ve were lucky enough to come in 1st or 2nd the previous step, it costs you nothing. The first two finishers go to the final step, third place gets to play step 5 again.

Step 6: You’ve made it to the final step. Of course you can just cough up the $1,350 + $135 to play in this game or you might have gotten here all the way from step one for $1. In either case, finish 1st in this ten player table and you’re on your way to the WSOP. Come in 2nd and you win $1,000.

This is just one example of an on-line poker site’s roadmap to the WSOP. At FullTilt poker you can get there for as little as $4. And they have a promotion in which if you gain entry to the tournament through their site and win the $10 Million at the WSOP, they will match it with an additional $10 Million.

Party Poker has satellites starting at $9,InterPoker can get you there for $10, and UltimateBet has games for as little as $3.

There are even some sites where you can gain entry through freerolls (tournaments with no entry fees).

There are all sorts of tournaments like this at many different online poker sites and they all follow the same basic pattern. You buy-in at a low level to win entry into a higher level tournament. I narrowly missed making it to the PartyPoker millions tournament with a $10,000 buy-in and a prize pool of $7.5 Million. For $6 I worked my way up to the finals where I needed to come in one of the top 4 positions. Unfortunately I finished 9th, but there’s always next year. And boy, did I get a lot of entertainment and excitement for my $6.

So if you’re looking to be the next poker star and you don’t want to put down $10,000 to get in the game, check out the different online sites and see if you can turn $1 into a million.

Online Poker vs Live Poker

Is online poker getting old? Reading around the poker blogosphere this week, I see more and more people saying how they’re moving from online poker to live poker, mainly because live poker is becoming boring for them - it’s become as much a job as the ones they left to get into the poker scene.

The novelty of sitting at home in your pants and being able to play card games and win money for 10 hours a day has faded away, and we’re now left with a new poker term - “the grind”. It’s an obvious one really, since playing poker online professionally can feel like a regular 9-5 office job.

You’re stuck behind a desk for a vast majority of the day (and sometimes night!), staring at a computer screen, playing a very repetitive game to eke out a small profit each month. It’s a solitary, slow and monotonous job - hence the term “grind”.

I think also the nature of the beast is changing. Online poker is becoming more popular, or at least more new players are filling the tables these days. Armies of affiliates, advertisers and sponsors are driving millions of hopefuls to our gates, and then letting us fight over their cash, trying desperately to avoid the inevitable suckout. Many “veteran” players dislike this influx with a passion, and feel like the game isn’t what it used to be - an art to be mastered, not a fad to be thrown around as the latest get rich quick scheme.

So where is everyone going? Live. But why? Well, here’s my list (it’s quite short) of pros and cons of live poker:

Pros of live poker:

1. Socialising - you get to leave the house, meet people, talk without typing, share a laugh, perhaps even make friends and meet for non-poker related reasons!

2. Tangibility - there’s something great about having real chips to hold, a table to lean on and smooth felt to rub your fingers over. It makes the game more… real.

3. Excitement - casinos are exciting places, let’s face it. The glitz, glamour, crowds, noise, cheering.. not to mention the wide variety of other games to play if poker gets a bit much.

4. Tells - the biggest advantage if you know what you’re looking for. You can spot real, physical tells that will give you a huge advantage over your opponents. This just cannot happen online.

Cons of live poker:

1. Slower - you’ll play less hands per hour. Consequently, you’ll have less time to eke your profit - making the same amount as you make online will take longer.

2. Stress - sitting at a table can be uncomfortable, and having people gabble in your ear and get in your face can be distracting. You can’t just mute their chat like you can online.

3. Travelling - no casinos nearby? You’ve got to get there yourself, and for some that can be difficult, if not impossible.

4. Different hours - most people who play in casinos have a 9-5, so your regular working hours will often be late at night, so don’t expect to get home till it starts getting light again.

Which is better? That’s up to your personal preference. Anybody else have any other pros or cons?

So will I be moving to live games? Not for the forseeable future. I do intend on joining the local poker society at university, but I’ll still be playing online when I can fit it around home life. The convenience of playing in my pants, and vast schools of under-experienced (under-age?) fish make the game too enticing. But maybe that’s because I don’t grind out 10 hours a day. Thank god.

Online Poker The Lingo

The World Series of Poker has sprouted many followers in the last couple of years. Amateur tables are popping up all over the world and friendly cash games are everywhere come Friday night. Whether it is for thrill or profit the so called sport of poker has the attention of many onlookers year round. While Amateurs know the basics of the game they usually get lost in all the poker lingo spoken at the casino poker tables. While some is lingo is made up by experienced players to throw off the amateurs, some are actually well known terms in the poker world that any amateur trying to make it big should know. Below is a guide to all the poker lingo you could ever want to impress your friends or intimidate an experienced opponent. Take a look.
Ante: The initial money thrown into the pot to induce betting. This is done before the flop.
All In: When a person decides to put all his chips in to bet on a certain hand. No Limit Hold’Em is the most popular game and All Ins are allowed as many times as a player wants. In Limit Hold’Em you cannot bet more then the pot itself.
Backdoor: Backdoor is a reference to when players are chasing a card that has not come up yet but has a good chance to. Having 4 cards of the same kind is a backdoor flush draw, having four cards in a row is a backdoor straight draw.
Bad Beat: A Bad Beat occurs when a player has a large advantage over the other and the last card beats the big hand by luck. Bad beat is usually used to imply that the player with the weak hand should not have been in the hand at all and it was by mere luck that he won his underdog hand.
Blind: In Texas Hold’Em, the game uses blinds instead of antes. The blinds are forced bets to induce some money in the pot by the two people sitting to the left of the dealer. The first person to the left of the dealer is the “small blind” and bets a smaller amount. The second person to the left of the dealer is the “big blind” and bets twice what the small blind has.
Bottom Pair: The lowest pair out of the cards out on the table.
Check: When a player decides to not bet he calls “Check”. This is the option of betting zero dollars.
Check Raise: When a player checks with a strong hand hoping another opponent will raise. The player then re-raises with his strong hand thus getting more money out of his opponent in the pot.
Drawing Dead: When a player is trying to make a hand that will still not win the pot.
Flop: The first three cards that are “flopped” onto the table. These are also called community cards.
Heads Up Play: When there are only two players playing a certain hand they are considered “heads up”.
Muck: A pile of unused cards usually in front of the dealer. These come from folded or burned cards. To “much your cards” is to fold them by throwing them into the muck pile.
The Nuts: Likely the favorite expression of any poker player. The Nuts indicates a hand that is mathematically unbeatable with the cards on the table.
Offsuit: When the two cards you are dealt are of different suits.
Pocket: The two cards dealt to you in Texas Hold’Em that only you can see.
Rake: The total amount of money that the casino’s dealer takes out of every pot.
The River: The last card to be flopped on the board. The 5th card to come out in a Texas Hold’Em game.
Short Stack: The short stack is referring to the player with the least amount of chips at the table.
Tell: A tell refers to a players action when he or she has a good or bad hand. Some players take off their sun glasses when they have a bad hand. Other players tend to itch their right hand when they have a good hand.
The Turn: The fourth card to be flopped onto the table in a Texas Hold’Em game.
These are the necessary terms in order to keep up with the pros. There are hundreds of other terms in the world of poker, yet they are much less needed or too experienced for the amateur. Learn this lingo and impress your friends or play at experienced tables and wow the crowd. Lastly, poker is a great game, but the greatest player in poker knows one this: When to know you’re beat. Everyone likes to hold’em, but sometimes you get that feeling and you just have to fold’em.

How YOU Can Classify Online Poker Players

Classifying other players in your games requires a system of note taking that can quickly inform you of the type of opponents that you are facing. In online poker, note taking is quite easy so that you can classify a player and use that information at a later time.

There are two areas of classification that should be looked at first. They are the passive-aggressive rating and loose-tight rating. To easily adjust to the kind of play that an opponent is likely to do, you need a system of note taking that is easy to remember and record. One of the easiest that I have found is the alphanumeric system. With this system, you assign letters for the degree of passive-aggressive play and numbers for the degree of loose-tight play.

Passive-Aggressive Rating

The passive player is one that never raises but tends to call. The aggressive player is one that consistently raises whenever he is in a pot. All players fall into one of these categories to some extent. Knowing what that extent is, tells you what kind of player he is.

For recording this type of play I assign letters from A to E.

“A” would be the most passive player and “E” the most aggressive player. So if a player were somewhat aggressive you would assign him the letter “C”, meaning that he is not aggressive all the time but that he is not overly passive.

Loose-Tight Rating

The loose player is one that plays in numerous pots. He tends to call or raise every blind. The tight player only plays in a few pots. Again all players fall somewhere in one of these categories. For recording this type of play I assign numbers from 1 to 5.

The number “1″ would be for the tightest player and “5″ for the loosest player. Therefore, if a player played an average number of hands (one of every three hands) you assign him the number “3″, meaning that he saw the flop about 30% of the time.

Remember when assigning these ratings to do it in reference to the game you normally play in. In other words, give the loosest player in your regular game a 5 and the tightest player a 1 and use them as a benchmark for all the other players. This is also true for the passive and aggressive players.

When you first sit in a game look for any notes you have on the other players. Then watch them play to see if they still match what you have written about them. This is important as people tend to change their style of play after a while.

Another thing to look for, which only happens in online play, is the player that plays at more than one table. These players tend to play a straightforward game, as they have to watch more than one game. I usually put a “+” sign in their notes to show this.

After you have mastered this system, you will find that you will invent more codes to give you more information about each player.

Good Luck

PLAYING ONLINE POKER FOR A LIVING

Playing online poker for a living is absolutely doable, but it takes a combination of talent, dedication, patience, discipline and disposition to succeed.

You must study and constantly work on the weak parts of your game. Reading a book like Hold’em For Advanced Players once, will not be good enough. You will have to read it over and over, and you must truly consume, study and learn it.

You must take the game seriously at all times, maintaining your focus and always continue to learn, even when you are away from the table.

Knowing where and at what times the the loosest middle and upper limit poker games are played are the number one secret for those that play professional poker online. Online poker professionals win most of their money from the weak players(fishes-suckers), so finding a table with two or three fishes on it, is extremely important if you want to succeed at this game. Tight and conservative poker tables are not profitable to play on, even for the professionals.

Finding the right table to play on will take some time and effort from your side, but will definitely be worth it if you are serious of making a living playing this great and complex game.

There are some great benefits playing online poker for a living compare to live casino poker.

*No intimidation from other players.
*No waiting around for a table.
*You can play wearing your socks only.
*No traveling expenses.
*You pay no tips to the dealer.
*The rake is much lower.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL AT ONLINE POKER YOU HAVE TO:

Constantly change your style of play. Don’t be predictable in your betting patterns.

Keep reading and practicing the game as often as possible.
Playing interactive poker on a Turbo software program combined with reading a great poker book like “Hold’em for advanced players” is the best way of improving your game.

Only play in online poker rooms that has a few fishes at the table.

Only play with money you can afford to loose. Have a poker bankroll and keep a record of your wins and losses.

Always give the game 100% of your attention when you are sitting at the table.

Take some time away from the poker table if you have suffered more than three consecutive losses.

Win more by playing fewer hands. A bet saved is the same as a bet won. Play quality hands, fold the junk and you will see your bank-roll increase.

Online Poker Forums Another Tool To Improve Your Game

Almost any activity you can think of has an online forum dedicated solely for the discussion and exchange of information on that particular topic. Forums have been around in the form the dial-up bulletin boards and internet newsgroups that were popular in the 1980s and 1990s. The internet forum has since evolved into one of the most used tools the internet has to offer. Any topic you can imagine more than likely has numerous forums with regular participants. Poker is absolutely no exception, as there are thousands of poker websites which offer their visitors a forum to join in on the discussions.

Poker forums are a magnet for the novice as well as the seasoned poker professional. These forums feed the avid poker player the much needed information in all aspects of poker play, types of poker and the latest news. Some poker forums are solely for announcing the big poker tournaments which run throughout the year. The reader gets filled in on where the tournament is to be played as well as the particulars on play qualifications.

Poker related forums can also be game type specific. Sites are popping up everyday based solely on one game in particular, Texas Hold’em. Do a web search for that topic and you’ll be amazed at the number of sites which have devoted themselves to this one game. Seven Card Stud and Omaha Poker are also very popular forum topics as well. These card games have enough of a loyal following that the site owners receive thousands of visitors each and every day. Site owners offset the cost of running there forums with advertising related to the niche.

There are certainly some very good reasons why poker players would want to search out and become a member of these forums. One of which is the fact that a player can improve his game by frequenting high quality poker forums. By high quality, the forum should be well maintained with fresh news and happenings in the world of poker. If the last entry is more than a few days old, then the forum is a slow one. A slow forum is not necessarily a bad forum, but if you’re looking for updated content then you can do better.

The benefits a player gets from poker forums are:

Staying Updated: The world of poker has a lot of tournaments being held all year round. Poker players can be advised of local tournaments in their area and who will be there as well as the fees and prizes involved.

Game Improvement: More experienced players trading game stories and past experiences of how they handled a situation can help the novice player when faced with the same circumstances.

Tips and Tricks: Talk to a veteran poker player who’s willing to mentor and I’ll bet you’ll learn more from them than you will any of the poker books you’ll find for sale. A smart poker player never takes the time to think he can’t learn a new trick or two, and neither should you. Learning the game of poker is easy, but to master it takes a lifetime. Take advantage of the free advice those who have played many years have to offer.

Poker forums are a tool which any poker player can use to brush up on their game, catch up on the news in poker, or find out how last Friday night’s garage game went with Fred and the gang. Visit just a few of these gems, and you’ll become a card carrying member of the poker forum club.

Reasons Online Poker is a Lot of Fun

Playing poker is fun and many individuals really enjoy gambling, however frequently it is difficult for the gambler to engage in his favored activity simply because many states do not have casinos or gambling is illegal altogether. This means individuals must play poker behind the scenes so to speak in their homes with friends or else take a trip to Las Vegas, Atlantic City, or another city where gambling is legal. However, online poker has changed all of that and now that any individual with an Internet connection and a desire to play poker can at any time of day or night, online poker websites are seeing a tremendous amount of growth and competition. The following points explain why online poker has so many benefits and why it is becoming so popular.
Online Poker Benefit #1 Home Sweet Home When you play poker online you can do so from the comfort of your home. That means if you want to play in your favorite chair or while relaxing in bed you can do so. Or, if you have wireless internet you can play wherever you want. This is a huge benefit because you don’t have to leave your home or worry about playing in a crowded casino, getting dressed up, and having to deal with a lot of people. Plus, gambling is illegal in many states, so those who live in states where there are no casinos really have no other option other than gambling from their home computer.
Online Poker Benefit #2 Long Lines If you have ever visited a casino before you understand that lines can frequently be long and there are not always seats at the gambling table. As a result, you must wait or play a game you are not overly interested in simply because it is the only one available. This is not the case with online gambling because you simply enter the online casino and then are placed at a table, immediately! Avoid long lines and wasting time at a real casino and choose to play online.
Online Poker Benefit #3 Access The majority of states do not have gambling casinos, so those interested in gambling in a casino must either travel long distances to play the game they enjoy or else hop online and play at any time. Obviously, the second option is not only more feasible and affordable, it is more logical as well. So, with online gambling websites individuals have access to the games they love from the comfort of their computer.
Online Poker Benefit #4 Online, All the Time! Poker gambling websites are open 24 hours per day and 7 days per week, something casinos can’t compete with. So, no matter if you want to play a couple hands of cards each night before you go to bed, or want to play all night every night, you can simply log into your favorite online casino and enjoy playing your favorite game on your schedule.
Online Poker Benefit #5 Discounts and Matches Would you ever expect to walk into a casino and the casino match the amount of money you brought to gamble with? This is a dream of most players, but a dream come true for online gamblers. Most online gambling websites offer a variety of benefits, discounts, and deposit matches to individuals signing up with their site. Of course, you must do the research and find out what is best, but you will have more money to gamble with when you gamble online.
Online Poker Benefit #6 Multiple Tables Have you ever been in a casino and wished you could play more than one table at once? Well, with online gambling this is a reality. You have a higher percentage chance of winning when you play two hands, which means more money, so give it a try. You will probably like it!
Online Poker Benefit # 7 More Games Almost always, online poker websites have more games than a typical casino has as well. As a result, when you go online to play poker you will have so many different types of games to choose from you will likely be surprised. Play the ones you are familiar with, test out the ones you are not, and figure out what your favorite gamble really is!
Online Poker Benefit #8 No Dealers There are no dealers in online gambling websites. Because of this, you won’t have to worry about dealer mistakes occurring not to mention tipping them. When there is no dealer the game goes faster, smoother, and better for you.
Online Poker Benefit #9 No Pressure When you are playing poker in a real casino there are a lot of pressures, especially from the rest of the people around the table. When you play online, you don’t have to worry if you don’t know what is going on, if you want to talk, or if someone is looking at you, because you are in the comfort of your own home!
Online Poker Benefit #10 No Traveling A fabulous benefit of gambling online is that there is no traveling involved. You don’t have to fill your tank up with gas, buy expensive drinks, or spend time traveling to and from the casino. With online gambling you choose where you gamble from, which makes you more in control.
