How to Play Online Poker

Online Poker is a fast-paced and exciting form of poker that’s available anywhere there’s an internet connection. It can be played on a desktop computer, laptop or even a smart phone or tablet.

Sign Up Bonuses

The majority of online poker sites offer a sign-up bonus, usually matching the first deposit up to a certain amount. These bonuses are released to players based on how many frequent player points they have earned, so it’s important to play enough hands in the first few weeks of signing up to unlock your bonus.

Tournaments

Tournaments are a great way to earn money at online poker because they often have a high payout percentage. They are also more convenient than a cash game.

Tracking Hand History and Statistics

Using a HUD like PokerTracker 4 or Hold’em Manager 3 is a great way to keep an eye on your opponents. It overlays your table and shows you real-time statistics on their betting patterns so you can make more informed decisions.

Read Body Language and Pay Attention to Other Players

When playing poker in a brick and mortar casino, you can use body language to size up your opponents. Since no one is physically present in an online casino, it’s much harder to read other people’s ‘tells’. However, you can still get a good feel for your opponent’s betting habits by paying close attention to how they bet and whether or not they check or call.
