The internet has made our lives so much better, especially since it brought many things closer to a lot of people. Communication is easier, and businesses are easily accessible. But one other thing though that the Internet has given us so much access to is online poker.

What is Online Poker?

Online poker is simply poker that is played over the World Wide Web. The cards used in online poker as well as the rules are basically the same, and you can also use the same strategies that you would normally use when you play in land based casinos. One major difference though in online poker is that bluffing may not work for you since you cannot read your opponents’ tells. Furthermore, if you are used to reading your opponents’ poker tells, then you will find online poker very different since you are staring at your monitor, not at your opponents.

Advantages of Playing Online Poker

There are many advantages that you could benefit from when you decide to play at online poker as compared to land based casino.

For one, you do not have to spend extra money just so you could play a round of poker. You can simply sit in front of your computer, log into the Internet and into the online poker room or online casino, and then you are good to go. When you go to land based casinos, it cannot be denied that you have to allot some money to pay for the cash games, and if you live far from casinos, then you still have to allot a big part of your budget for your accommodation and foods.

Another big advantage that online poker gives is that you could play for free. With this, you can practice your skills until such time that you are confident enough to play at cash games.

The third and biggest advantage so far is that online poker offers a far more beneficial bonus and promotions. It cannot be denied that online poker rooms provide bigger and better bonuses to its players, especially the new members, and this is because they have lesser overhead expenditure as compared to land based casinos.

Fourth, online poker rooms provide privacy, security, and safety when it comes to playing poker games as well as depositing and withdrawing money. These online poker sites are protected by high and state of the art security to provide the comfort and ease that many players need.

The advent of the Internet might have given us a lot of benefits, especially those who love the game of poker since this game is now easily accessible anywhere you are and anytime you may want to play, but you also have to consider not only the advantages that they bring but also the disadvantages as well. So, with this being said, let us explore the advantages and disadvantages of online poker.

Advantages of Online Poker

The very most obvious advantage that online poker gives is, as stated above, the ability to play poker anywhere and anytime. You also no longer need to dress up just so you could play a round of poker because you can simply turn on your computer and log into the Internet to gain access of the many online poker rooms. Furthermore, you also get to save some money since you are no longer required to shell out any cash for your trip allowance.

Another advantage of playing online poker is that you also get to benefit from bigger and better bonuses. Although land based casinos offer bonuses, it is, without a doubt, that online poker rooms give more, especially to their new members.

Disadvantages of Online Poker

There may be a lot of advantages when you play online poker, but, of course, there are also major disadvantages that they bring to the society. For one, since online poker is easily accessible to many individuals, it cannot be denied that its online presence does increase the rate of gambling addicts. Two, online poker can also be easily accessed by individuals younger than 18, so it is no longer surprising to know that there are minors playing online poker. Third, there are so many online poker sites now popping up in the Internet that the player really does not know if the site he has become a member of is a bogus one. These bogus online poker sites are only after one thing, and that is to dupe the players. They take the players’ money and run, only to resurface once more using a new one.

For this reason, it really is important that you research about the online poker site first and read more about the site from poker blogs and forums as well as online communities whose focus is on poker. It would also be to your advantage to know more about the online poker site before you deposit any money.

There are poker pros who get into the Poker Hall of Fame, but, of course, there will be poker pros who are going to get into the Poker Hall of Shame. So, let us take a look at these poker pros who, in some way or another, have been abusive to both the dealers and the players, earning them a spot in the 2009 Poker Hall of Shame.

The Mouth

With three WSOP bracelets under his belt and over five million dollars in poker winnings, Mike “The Mouth” Matusow tainted his reputation by getting involved in selling drugs. Matusow was arrested in 2003 for having sold drugs to an undercover agent, and on 2004, he was jailed for six months. It would have been 10 years in prison had he not plead guilty to the charge of drug trafficking.

The Poker Pervert

Another poker pro who gave up his reputation of having won two WSOP bracelets and one and a half million dollars in poker winnings is Shahram “Poker Pervert” Sheikhan. He was imprisoned for having committed sexually-related crimes against children. Sheikhan is from Iran, and the US government has been trying to deport him back to his original country, but their efforts to deport him failed, all because an immigration judge ruled in favor of Sheikhan, the reason of which is that the Feds could not produce some important official paperworks relating to Sheikhan’s served time.

Chino

David Rheem, also known as Chino, is a poker pro from America. He got into the 2008 WSOP Main Event, and it can be said that he has more than four million dollars in poker winnings. The reason why he got into the 2009 Poker Hall of Shame is the fact that he has been found guilty on charges of burglary. He was also convicted of dealing in stolen property as well as robbery. He stayed in prison for four months and a probationary period of 30 months. In 2003, he found himself in deep trouble once again for trespassing.

Kid Poker

It might shock many poker fans out there, but Daniel “Kid Poker” Negreanu got into the list of Poker Hall of Shame for being racist and sexist. He has four WSOP bracelets under his belt and over twelve million dollars in poker winnings, but his disrespectful comments about Asians as well as women, calling them bitches, earns him a spot in last year’s 2009 Poker Hall of Shame.

There were a lot of events that took place last 2009 that changed the whole poker world. These events have changed not only the poker tournaments, especially the major ones, but it has also paved the way for the future of the poker industry.

Let us take a look back at some of the important news that has made a big impact in this popular game.

Postponement of the UIGEA

The UIGEA has always been a problem of the poker industry from conquering the online world, especially since the poker industry is now going online. December should have marked the strict implementation of the UIGEA, but thanks to some of the good people in the congress that the start of the UIGEA was postponed. Now, instead of December, the UIGEA will be reinforced this June 2010, but there is hope though that online poker will be legalized, although this major achievement might take some time. But still, this postponement in the UIGEA is a big step for the online poker industry.

Joe Cada’s New Title

Last year was also a huge year for poker pro Joe Cada. Not only did he take home the title of the 2009 WSOP Main Event Final Table champion, but he also earned himself the title of the youngest champion of the said event. This just goes to show that age does not matter in the game of poker, but as long as you have the skills and tenacity, you could bag the first prize and your very own WSOP bracelet, and along with it, a huge winning and the most coveted title in the poker world.

World Poker Tour in More Capable Hands

This is yet again one of the most talked about events in the poker world, PartyGaming purchasing World Poker Tour. Poker fans as well as the poker pros are excited to see what this major poker series has in store for them now that it is on more capable hands. The fact that the World Poker Tour was sold at a whopping $12.3 million bucks is proof enough that the new owners are going to make this just as exciting and just as lucrative as the major poker tournament that we all used to know.

With these many great events that changed and are going to shape the poker industry, be it online or offline, we can expect a whole lot more this year, 2010.

You are sitting at the poker table and one of the people sitting there with goes all in. What exactly should you do you wonder. Wonder no more, in this article I will explain exactly what you should in a when someone seated at your poker tables moves all in. This strategy only applies to forms of poker tournaments. However, whether it is an online poker tournament, a casino poker tournament, or even a poker tournament in your buddy’s basement this strategy should be followed as a rule of thumb. Far more than simple strategy, many professionals feel following this guideline is actually part of poker etiquette and that it should be followed to a tee.

Whenever you are playing in a poker tournament your ultimate goal is to outlast the other players. Of course in able to do this you will want to make sure you are playing your best possible game, but one very important part of playing your best possible game is sadly often over looked. For one reason or another; be it they are nervous, caught off guard, or simply do not know the preferred procedure, people more often than not fail miserably when an opponent goes all in, and inevitably often cause only themselves harm. At a regular poker table players success is based largely on reading their fellow players correctly. At an online casino poker table it is impossible to read another player’s face but patterns in the way they play may still give a clue to the hand they hold.

The proper way to handle a player going all in during a poker tournament is to use team work in order to get him or her out. I know this may sound odd as poker is generally considered an everyman for himself type of game, but this is the one area of poker where people get to show they are a team player. The reason you want to work as a team when a player moves all in simply boils down to odds. You do not know what the person who has moved all in is holding in their hand, you may possibly have them beat, but there is also a chance you may not have them beat. Even if you have pocket aces there is still a chance that he will catch two pair, three of a kind, a straight, or even a flush effectively     beating you and doubling themselves up.

The best way to prevent this from happening is of course to have as many people as possible involved in the hand. If the person’s chips that has moved all in are equal to only a small portion of your chips, regardless of what you have you should call them, likewise everyone else at the table should too. If you are seated at a six person poker table this will force the player who is all in to have to beat not only one hand to double up, but instead five hands. Do you see where we are going with this?

Okay, so now we have six players involved in the hand, the person who is all in, yourself, and at the moment your four teammates. The reason I refer to them as teammates is because you need to help each other out so that you can all stay in the hand until the very end. How do you accomplish this? By not making any bets at all for the remainder of the hand. Even if you have a strong hand, say a pair of aces and make a big bet, other players may fold their hands. This may not sound bad, but considering the person who is all in could very likely make a straight beating your hand and doubling themselves up, you may very well have forced someone who would have made a flush and eliminated the person who is all in to fold their hand.

The only time you should ever even consider making a bet when an opponent is all in is if you have nuts after the river has been turned over (poker jargon for the best possible hand). But I must warn you, even in this situation it is considered by many to be very unsportsmanlike and foolish, so expect to catch some dirty looks if you are in a casino, or some off color comments if you are playing online.

There have been millions of people who have deposited money into online poker rooms, most of who likely had dreams of winning all kinds of money and becoming a professional poker player. Sadly, 99% of these people end up using all of their money up within a few days or weeks and chalk it up to either bad luck or fixed poker games. I can speak from experience and tell you that neither of these reasons are the real cause of going broke at  poker online, but that it is actually bad judgement on behalf of the players themselves.

I can remember back to the first time I made a deposit to an online poker room to learn poker. The minimum deposit amount was $50 and that is the amount I put into my account. I figured even if I didn’t strike it rich with this that I would at least be able to play for a few months and get lots of practice for when I really took a run at the big money. I ended up running out of money within a few hours. I then dedicated the next few weeks to researching these online poker rooms to try and prove that they were indeed rigged so that I could get my money back. Of course the evidence I needed was never found, and to be honest, it is because it does not exist. Online poker games, just like in casino poker games are totally legitimate.

The real reason I lost all of my money so quickly is the same reason most players who make online deposits lose their money so quickly; we played games that were way too expensive for our budgets. With my $50 deposit I played two $10 sit n’ go tournaments and lost, then tried my hand at the $1-$2 blinds games which quickly ate up the rest. Even though at the time I was a horrible poker player, that is not the main reason I lost my money so quickly, instead it was because I had no place playing such costly games with such a small bankroll.

When you make a deposit to an online poker room you should never risk more than 5% of your bankroll at any given time. This of course means if you deposit $50 (the minimum at most online poker rooms), then you should never play a tournament that costs more than $2.50, nor go to a cash table with anymore than $2.50 at a time. Yes this means likely you will be playing at the penny tables to being, but in all honesty with a $50 bankroll this is where you should playing to ensure that even if you take a few bad beats that you will not quickly go broke. Instead it will take quite awhile to go broke, or if you are a skilled player, you will slowly and properly build your bankroll up enabling you to play at the larger action tables.

The key to remember is that Rome was not built in one day, and nor will a massive bankroll be built in one day. These things take time. Yes it is true that you could take your whole $50 deposit to a $1-$2 blind cash table and build that $50 up to $150 or more rather quickly, but when you have your whole bankroll sitting with you at the table all it takes is one hand to lose it all.

Depending on how long you have been playing poker, you have probably won hands with every imaginable combination of starting cards in your hand. We have all started with a 3 and a 6 and ended up hitting a straight, but it never quite feels right when we do this. The reason being is because in situations like this we depended on luck instead of skill to win the hand. No matter if you are lucky or unlucky, the only assured income for all online poker players is rakeback. For example you can receive 30 % Ultimate Bet rakeback paid monthly into your poker account. While there is nothing wrong with getting lucky in poker or anything for that matter, a good poker player will never depend on luck to get him through a hand.

I understand this can be a touchy subject, as most poker players, no matter how much their game depends on luck, simply do not like to hear that they are simply lucky poker players, and not necessarily skilled poker players. That being said, in all honesty, with a few exceptions, if you are playing any other combinations besides the ones I am about to show you, then you my friend are depending on luck to win poker hands.

In no particular order, here are the top fifteen starting poker hands:
A-A, A-K, A-Q, K-K, Q-Q, J-J, 10-10, 9-9, 8-8, 7-7, 6-6, 5-5, 4-4, 3-3, 2-2

If you find any of the above combinations in your pocket, then what exactly should you do? There are truly endless options here, but if you want to play it safe and protect your chip stack, while at the same time slowly building it then I would recommend the following:

If you get A-K, A-Q, or any pocket pair of 10’s or above than I would move all in before the flop. This may sound funny as it is likely all of your opponents will fold and you will not even be able to play the hand, but it is by far the safest way to go. By moving all in pre-flop, and getting your opponents to fold you will eliminate the possibility of another player; one who is depending on luck; making a straight, a flush, a full house, or three-of-a-kind; in which case you would end up losing all of your money. Now, would you rather win $10 right off the bat by buying the pot, or lose $100 or more by playing the hand and allowing your opponents to catch a hand?

If you have any of the pairs from 9‘s on down to 2’s, then you should play the hand completely differently. If it is not overly expensive always try to see the flop when you have these cards. If you make a set (three of a kind) with the cards on the flop you should move all in and buy the pot to avoid another player making a hand that could beat yours on the turn or the river. If you do not hit three of a kind then it is time to fold (unless all other players check giving you the opportunity to see another card).

When you are just starting out in the world of Texas NL Hold’Em poker, if you stick to this strategy, and only play these fifteen hands you will nine times out of ten come out on top. Sure there will be times when someone will call your all in and end up catching a hand, but these are rare exceptions; and the exact reason you should only ever bring 5-10% of your bankroll to any given poker table at a time.

Once you feel completely comfortable playing these hands and only these hands, they are a few other hands that you can incorporate into your reservoir of playable hands; such as having an ace and another card of the same suit in your pocket, giving you the possibility of hitting an ace high flush. But these hands and the others are for another discussion after you have mastered playing the top fifteen hands I have discussed in this article.
Please do keep in mind that above all else, the practice of playing on the fifteen top poker hands is mostly about teaching yourself control; something that is of the utmost importance to all professional poker players; and something that will ensure you are a profitable poker player!

Did you hear? Online poker is not as addictive as we thought, and moreover, if you never believed in those poker gurus, think again. The Harvard researchers say they have found scientific evidence of poker being a game of skills. The original Harvard Medical School study has made these findings under the title “Sitting at the Virtual Poker Table: Results from the First Ever Epidemiological Study of Actual Internet Poker Gaming Behavior” by The Division of Addictions had already been released and published in the press.

The results from the longest longitudinal and the first ever epidemiological study of the Internet gaming behavior carried out by the Division on Addicts, Cambridge Health Alliance, a Harvard Medical School teaching affiliate, in collaboration with BWIN, the Austria-based leading gaming service provider on the internet. The collaboration started in 2005 and aims to study the scientific rationale for conspicuous gambling behavior and its effects on what is known as “responsible gaming”.

The study has a sample size of 3,445 online poker players and has been conducted over a time span of two years. The following findings have been made in the study.

1. The myth of the alluring power of online gambling is busted. It is no more provocative than offline gambling. Moreover, the availability of online gambling and gambling addiction are not correlated.

2. Responsible gaming measures are indeed effective.

Online Players are Rational in Behavior
The research provided additional evidence in support of the previous research carried out by the same institute showed that most subscribers moderately gambled on the Internet. Correlation analyses indicated that as the percent of losses increased, duration,
Total Gambling Sessions, and Total Amount Wagered all decreased. This clearly suggested that individuals modified their behavior based on whether they were winning or losing, thus exhibiting “rational” betting behavior according to Howard Shaffer, PH.D., Associate Professor, Harvard Medical School, Director, Division on Addictions, The Cambridge Health Alliance, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School.
Manfred Bodner, the co-CEO of BWIN expressed the intention of the researchers to replace speculation with scientific evidence for understanding the online poker player behavior. He expressed their interest in developing algorithms of explaining behavior patterns and the risk factors and trends linked with disordered and faulty gaming.

Study Factors

• The average sample age was 27.9 years.
• The 95% of the population was of the masculine gender.
• The median for the activity of an average player was six and a half months, and appeared in a median of a poker session per three days.
• The median wager per session amounted to €13.
• The median cost of playing poker per session amounted to €1.80.
• The most active group, which constituted 5% of the sample, was active for a period of 18.5 months and appeared in ten sessions per week. This 5% subgroup lost the least amount comparatively, which clearly indicates that Poker is a game of skills and the more frequent you play it, the better are your chances of improving and further refining your skills.
• Examining the same more active group, which put more time and money in the poker games, it was found that they reduced Euros per session and decreased their wager with the increase in the percent of losses like the rest of the sample. This means the more they got to play the game, the more rational their betting behavior became.

What to Make Out of It?
Although the results of the study published on various websites portray the addiction factor of poker and online gambling as the main highlight, but you cannot help but observe the small sub-group of 5% winning most of the games, losing the least, lowering their wages with the increase in the percent of losses.
Well more than anything else, the researchers should simply recognize it as bankroll management, and there is no wonder why this subgroup is winning more often and losing lesser than the others. They should too. However, the only thing that is shocking is the fact that only 5% of the people do so.
Looking at the other side of the picture we see that 95% of people are not being as successful as the 5% sub-group, who are more likely to lose money despite managing their bankroll properly. The good news is that they have found that poker is a game of skill, so you can be sure that if you rely on developing your skills and on the skills that you have already developed, you can find a plenty of success with online poker, because there are 95% of the poker players to beat.

Conclusion
Without getting into the statistical complications, a common sense conclusion that can be extracted from the study is simply what the researchers have mainly found out from this exercise. Poker is without a doubt, a game of skill and tact. It even helps you making good decisions and strategy in the opinion of Andrew M. Woods, the Executive Director of Harvard Law School’s Global Strategic Thinking Society commenting on the control exhibited by the online poker players, and expressed no surprise over the findings.  Also, effective bankroll management is essential to the success of its players, and the impression that online gambling is more addictive as compared to the conventional one is totally proved wrong. So, the next time when anyone teases you to be addicted to online gambling, you can quote them the findings from the Harvard study.

For many people Poker is game of enjoyment yet it is also a war against the other players and the odds of being able to have those winning hands that make it all worth while. Tragically, in many cases most people have a tendency to loose more hands of Poker than they are winning.

Have patience: Poker is an emotional yet exciting game; in many situations most people try to always play as many hands as possible. When this happens these people usually loose more than they are winning and when they do have the big jackpot, it is rare. The reason why these people are not as successful is because they are playing those hands that have low odds of winning. Where, in most cases they figure they can bluff or will have a run of card that will change their luck. The reality is that the best Poker players play those hands where they have the greatest chances of winning. This means folding those hands where the cards you received are not in your favor and being patient waiting for the right hand to come your way. When you apply this approach to poker on a consistent basis you are improving the overall amount of pots that you are winning, helping to make you a winning Poker player.

Watch the other players: On way that you can be able to decide if you have a good hand is to watch the reaction of other players when they are receiving their cards. In most situations when you are playing Poker many people will often act favorably when they receive the cards that they are looking for and will show disappointment or indifference when they are not. These different emotional reactions mean that you can be able to have a general idea whose hand is good and those who are simply bluffing. This will aid you in determining if a particular hand is right for you or if it would be advisable to fold. A very good way to learn poker from other players !

Venture into any casino, whether it's located in the centre of Las Vegas or an exclusive part of London, chances are each will incorporate a very similar layout. Towards the entrance, you'll find rows upon rows of illuminated slot machines, complete with several players anxiously spinning the wheels and wondering if lady luck is shining down on them.

Move a little further and you'll find the elegant games, such as blackjack, baccarat, roulette and of course, craps. Keep going and chances are you'll reach a doorway leading into a very different section of the casino; the poker rooms. Here, you won't find any of the camaraderie you'd expect to experience at the craps table, nor will you hear the excited yelps of a player who has hit the jackpot. Poker is cool, calm, calculated and (as many players would have you believe) shares very little in common with other casino games.

However, while there are of course differences between luck and skill games, poker does share similarities with its casino counterparts. The most obvious example would of course be video poker, which is essentially an amalgamation of slots and traditional poker games. Believe it or not though, players can also learn about how to control their poker face by watching the tightly drawn features of blackjack players. As any card counter will tell you, in order to ensure you aren't caught you have to play the game deceptively. Not only do these pro's count cards, they also purposely lose hands in an effort to cover their tracks. Given the atmosphere of a poker table when it's just two players after the pot, a card counter's deceptive skill would no doubt prove an incredible aid to a poker player having to face off with their competitor.

Surprisingly, poker players can also learn a thing or two from slot machine enthusiasts. As any gambling expert will tell you, slots are often considered the least profitable games available in a casino, yet you could lose even more money playing a casino game you don't understand. Professional slots players also know that in order to preserve their bankroll, they have to leave when a slot is "tight", or not paying out. Before rushing into a high risk win/lose situation, poker players should bear that all important slots mantra in mind: "Know when to walk away", or in poker's case, fold.

With any casino game, whether its slots, blackjack or even sic bo, there's aspects of the strategies used in these games which can be applied to poker. It could even be suggested that the best poker players are those who are willing to go outside of their comfort zone and learn from other casino goers.

You can not underestimate the power of an aggressive play in finals. Here is the situation in a recent tournament I played. We went to three players that are already in silver. Of course, the second is much more than the first and the third is much more than a second. We still have work sheets relating to the curtains. This means that you always poker after the flop.

With three players on the left side, I am with the chip leader in the vicinity of 35,000 in chips. A player is about 25,000, and Player B is about 15,000. The blinds are 500 - 1000, 100. A player is in the heat and betting on the majority of each pot. I collected the pots, and he is not the player B slowly bleeding away. I’m still a good opportunity for a player, but the cards are not together. Since Player B seems to be the intention of blindness in the hope that a player is hit, and I’m in a large pan and let the player B to move to second place money. Therefore, unless a player that I am, I would not be in a big pot with him.

At the end of this tour, a player has violated the chip away from me, and the player B was at about 5000 chips. The leap into the unknown 1000 - 2000, 200, if you KJ before the big blind. A surprise player on the button folds. Player B, in the small blind and cans back to B-players in general. He called for reluctant offsuit A-6. A king on the flop and the player B key rail.

Now we have the situation that I had expected. I am ready, the attack on a player, but after a couple of hands back, is capable of is the battery for me. It is about 45,000 in chips and 30,000 of the hand, as I expected at last. I AK on the button and a mini-raise to 4000th A player and insists that a failure. The flop comes KQ-2 and a fire of 8000 to a bet. I’m trying to raise, but only the hope that a good player with another fire ball in the back.

The change brings a lawsuit Player 8 and not bite. Instead of the controls. I have immediate access to all and hope that I am in a robbery or a hand, as K-10 and appeals to bear the grief. He calls me with little doubt that a cause for concern. If you back on my side, but her face says it all. I do not need to see the maps to see if I beat him. It is the Q-6 for the second pair. I’m already with the money if you have a 6 on the hand in the flow. Oh, well, that’s poker.

A player is aware that it is a bad call, and apologized for their fate. I would say no. He has played well and deserved the title. The truth is that he is not playing well, the control over the table and call the chip lead. Although I was in my plan, my mistake. I have a picture, but also to a stroke. What would have happened if the hand that was not taken? I think that I do with the fight against aggression, if we made it to the top. The mistake I have done, but had to abandon chip lead in the first place. Once I did that I could not afford to make mistakes or bad luck every time.
