Free Online Poker guide to Where to Play Poker

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: the vast majority of these rooms have quality certificates and security certificates. Be sure your choice does. Read the small print too to understand what is involved with deposit and how and what is involved in withdrawing money.

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.

Some sites offer an eye catching bonus if you sign up with them. Remember to read the small print to check the rules on withdrawing this . 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!.

I’ve found that Titan Poker is one of the best paid rooms for European players. They also have an extra deal with NoPayPOKER.com for a handy free money start up. Literally you can join free and get $25 US real to play with; no strings apart from you have to play with it there. Go join NoPayPOKER.com to find this offer.

If poker is a whole new world to you, then I would advise that you start by playing on free online poker sites, such as NoPayPOKER, where they get their money from advertising and not from players. Only go for sites which are 100% free and do not ask for any initial payment up front.

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.

After played in more than 30 gaming rooms, I think the best free online poker tournaments room I’ve found and will recommend is NoPayPOKER.com. No translation in Spanish but easy to understand for any user because it is very intuitive.
