Poker virgins come along for the ride
If you’ve never played poker, we understand that it can be a bit overwhelming. There’s a jargon that goes with the territory and it’s pretty hard to grasp initially. Not to mention the fear of sharks swimming about in poker rooms that you’re not sure are legit. Don’t worry, we’ve all been there and the online poker world really isn’t as murky as it all seems. To help you get started, we’ve compiled some poker intro pages that will ease you in gently. We take a look at the most commonly used terms in poker so that when it comes to learning the actual games, you understand what we’re referring to. Fortunately learning to play poker variants such as Texas Hold ‘Em is pretty easy. It doesn’t take long to grasp the principles and start practicing your new skills in the poker rooms.
Free and easy online poker
While testing your new skills can be fun, it’s also racked with mistakes. All a perfectly natural part of the learning experience but one that can be fairly costly if you’re not careful. That’s why we suggest you start off playing freeroll tournaments. Freerolls are great for poker beginners as you can take part in a real poker tournaments with no buy-in requirement yet stand to win real money prizes, or even free entry to bigger, real money events. Our Online Tournaments section tells you more about the types of tournaments you can expect to get involved in when you sign up to an online poker room.
Poker rooms to be proud of
Talking of which, picking an online poker room is no easy feat either. There’s so much to look out for. A good poker room needs to be well regarded; generally the big rooms that do a lot of marketing and sponsor key tournaments are very well regarded. There are many smaller reputable poker sites too but you want to look out for things such as traffic levels, software standards, game variety, tournament and promotion frequency and quality and so on.
Poker bonuses to boost your bankroll
The other major factor that could sway your decision to pick one poker room over another is bonuses. All poker rooms these days offer poker bonuses which may come in the form of sign-up bonuses, reload or loyalty bonuses, rakeback bonuses, instant cash bonuses and more besides. A bonus is a great way to get you started as in most cases the poker room will match your original deposit by the same amount or higher to welcome you to their room. Some rooms will even offer no deposit bonuses whereby they give you money to play with without requiring any sign-up fee or deposit from you. You just need to be aware of any terms of clearance regarding bonuses. Always read the small print as some huge bonuses come with difficult fulfillment terms which you may not be able to meet depending on your level of play.
Our section ‘Play Poker Online‘ aims to help you see the wood for the trees. We’ve listed some of the most reputable poker rooms along with the current bonuses they are offering. Take a look at the sites and see which you get a feel for before signing up. Remember, poker is a personal experience and you need to enjoy and feel comfortable in your new poker environment.
