January 23rd, 2009 admin Poker 0

Fun and excitement – you may define Poker thus. But do you know that it is possible to make a fulltime living with it? And you don’t even need to go outside for that! You can play online poker. Good poker players can make significant cash playing online poker. The best players play often, and win enough money to live well. It’s not totally impossible to live off of poker earnings; anyone can do it if they are good enough.

Here are some tips:

  • Play poker against people worse than you.
  • Enter into the lower stakes games.
  • Play a large amount of low stakes games.
  • Very occasionally enter into a high stakes games.
  • Entering tournaments is another great way to make a living off of online poker.
  • Patience is a virtue in the game of poker. In order to make money, it is important to play calmly.
  • Don’t go on tilt. Knowing when to walk away is the key to making a living playing online poker.

If you are trying to make a living with online poker, you need to play constantly. Some people who live off of online poker play more than 12 hours a day. If that is too much time consuming for you, then you might not want to make your living playing online poker.

Online poker can be a great way for someone to make money casually. However, for someone wanting to make a living, they need to be serious about their online poker. Playing low stakes games and playing against those worse than you is a great way to slowly make money. High stakes games should be limited, but if you are good enough, they can help you make money.

But remember, the gains for online poker can be enormous, but the losses can be even greater!

What is the Rake When Playing Online Poker

January 20th, 2009 admin Poker 0

When you are playing poker en linea, you may notice when you buy in to a tournament that there is an added fee that does not go in to the prize pool.  You may also have seen a hand won in a cash game and the player does not win the entire pot, a percentage has been taken out and mysteriously disappears.  For those who have not been playing online poker for very long, this can be confusing, you may wonder why when you just won a hand that had ten dollars in the pot you are only winning nine dollars and change?  This is because the house or online poker room gets a cut of the action called a rake.  This is also true for the portion you pay in to a tournament that does not get included in the prize pool.

No matter where you play, online poker room, live poker room or at a brick and mortar casino, you will have to pay a rake to the house.  This is how these establishments pay their bills.  With out taking this amount out of the pot each hand, they would not be able to afford to stay in business and you would not have a place to play poker.  This money may also be raked for a bonus or jack pot of some type.  Some online poker rooms offer a bad beat jack pot that gives the winner of this jack pot thousands of dollars for holding a losing hand.  This would be the only instance in poker where a losing hand would win money so most players do not mind a rake that goes in to a bad beat jack pot.  I have seen these jack pots hit the million dollar mark and the losing hand walks away with around sixty five percent of the pot total on average.  Not only does the losing hand win money, but the rest is shared out between the person who had the winning hand, usually around twenty percent and the rest of the players at the table get a cut as well.

Poker Cheating

When playing poker, one must always be aware of cheats. When playing online, the number of people that don’t play fair is significantly reduced. The dealer can’t be bought because the dealer is a program, that randomly deals the cards and programs don’t care about money, they can’t cheat or have preferences. Unlike real life poker, online poker doesn’t have real cards, so no one can trick you by hiding them down their sleeves or swapping them somehow. Those abilities mean zero here.

Let’s talk a little about hackers, the ones that are so feared amongst some online poker players. In the past, way back there were hacker’s attacks. But many years passed since then and all technologies have improved. If a hacker should try to somehow turn the odds in his favor or influence the program, he wouldn’t be able pass all the way through the poker rooms. Like thieves are stopped in real casinos by security, so are harmful programs stopped by the protection software every online poker room has.

But there is a form of online cheating and it is manifested by players talking to each other, it is a type of player conspiracy. The players involved would tell each other what cards they have and evaluate together the odds, trying to make one of them win. The winnings will be eventually split between them. In real poker rooms this is impossible, but online they can talk on the phone or be sited at adjacent computers.

Luckily the majority of these players are beginners and they are not doing it to cheat the others, but simply because they don’t know how to play or what to do. They don’t know the power they are holding, so they pose no real threat. Anyway there are ways to stop them. Online poker sites usually check players that use the same IP or play at the same time every time in the same poker rooms. If spotted in any of these situations they are either banner or warned or even kicked from the rooms. As this can only be a coincidence, sites do not ban payers before really looking into the situation.

So, here are some thinks to spot when you want to see if you are cheated.

1. Some players that try to get the others players to leave the game. They will raise each other so that they can be left alone in the game.

2. Players that don’t play quick pre-flop. They might be having someone to protect or someone they are teamed with.

But it is very rare to met real online cheaters. If you think they cheat, do not under any circumstance accuse them directly of cheating. Just follow their actions and contact the webmaster, he will deal with this. Or, if you don’t want to get into any complications, just leave that room and enter another one.

Playing Roulette at an Online Casino

January 10th, 2009 admin Roulette 0

Most of us know that you can play slots, black jack and poker at online casino or casino en linea, but most do not know that you can play roulette at online casinos as well.  If you have never played roulette before, you can learn for free and become a phenomenal roulette player in no time at all.  You may even take what you have learned and go to a live action casino in your area and try your hand at roulette there.

Roulette is fun game and is based on betting where the ball will land in the wheel.  You bet dependant upon the number or color you think the ball will land on.  Winning is dependant on which number you choose, whether you chose a color or if you pick the zeros.  Each group has different odds to win.  Odds are the amount you get paid if you win.  If the odds are two to one, and you bet one dollar and win, you will receive two dollars for your one dollar bet and so on.  You can choose to split your bet between two numbers or you can bet only the color you think will come out.  The colors are traditionally black and red.  Some tables have a zero or a double zero and zero placed at the end of the roulette table.  These tend pay higher odds to the player that wins, in the range of eight to one depending on the casino.

A lot of people like roulette as it is an easy game to play and we all have our favorite numbers to choose from.  Roulette is more of a game of luck than skill, but if you know what you are doing and the number patterns, you can make a little cash at it.  Most professional gamblers have a tendency to stay away from roulette as the house usually has the odds to win rather than the players, which is one down side to roulette.  One fact remains, casinos were not built on winners but losers, whether they be online casinos or traditional brick and mortar casinos.

Playing Blackjack

January 7th, 2009 admin Blackjack 0

If you love blackjack as many people do, you will be amazed at the amount of blackjack games you can find  at a casino online .  Even if you do not know how to play blackjack and have always wanted to learn how, you can do this easily online and in most cases, if you prefer, for free.  We all know that you need a twenty one to get a black jack but do you know what to do when are holding a fifteen and the dealer has a six showing?  With some practice, you will know exactly how to handle this situation in a live game for real money and you will optimize your chances at winning.

You will need some basics before you sit down at a blackjack table at a casino en ligne.  First of all, you need to decide how many decks you would like to play.  You can play one deck blackjack or multi deck blackjack, multi deck means more than on deck of cards and makes it harder to count how many face cards and aces have been dealt already.  You may think that counting cards is illegal and to a degree it is, but if you are playing one deck blackjack and all four aces have been played, it does not take a rocket scientist or card counter to know that you will not hit a twenty one if you are drawing to a soft ten which would be any two combination of cards that equal to ten and would be a good situation for a double down.  A double down means that you double your bet and take only one card to make your hand.  If you have cards that total ten and you hit the ace on your double, you will get a bigger pay out when the dealer pays you for your win.  Many people choose to play multi deck blackjack games as it gives them better odds to make a good hand and win.  When playing blackjack in casino online as with any game, it is important that you only play the limits your bankroll will allow.
