Fave Poker Website

Recommended Posts

So my infatuation with online poker playing is growing the point of opening a live money account(s) here soon.

 

Just curious what poker websites are some of your fave's if you are a poker player. I hope James will chime in since he's been there and done that.

 

It's pretty amazing all the poker rooms and software that is out there to help your playing. There's really a lot of similarities with online poker playing and trading. I'm hoping that will translate into a possible little hobby for me that can make some money as well.

 

Nothing big in the beginning, just small stakes for me.

 

If you have any poker sites - where to play, blogs, software, etc. - please post here as I would like to see what's out there.

 

Thanks!

Full Tilt Poker is the best. Are you more a ring game player or a tournament player? If you like tourneys, check out Pocket 5's.com for info and instruction.

 

If you want to get a bit serious with your play, you really need all three of the following:

 

1. Full Tilt Poker (Ivey's site-'nough said)

 

2. Poker Superstars (Sunday Million & World Series of Online Poker.)-Usually has the most seats to the WSOP.

 

3. Ultimate Bet

PP - I am familiar with all the main sites. I've actually been reading that it's best to STAY AWAY from these as they attract the real sharks.

 

One thing nice about Poker that you do not see in trading is that certain 'exchanges' exist and certain 'exchanges' attract certain players.

 

For example, I've read that bodog.com is a great site to play poker b/c it's mainly a sports betting site and you find more loose play here vs. Full Tilt or Pokerstars.

 

I'm also amazed at the software out there to help your play. I am looking at: http://www.poker-edge.com Just have to watch the demo to see what this thing is capable of. Imagine trading against your opponent when you already know how likely it is that your opponent will beat you... It's pretty amazing actually.

 

Anyone know of any good poker blogs? I like reading the blogs. I'm thinking of starting a poker one.

There are only a few sites that take U.S. players these days. Besides, if you can't find a game because there are no players what's the point of an "under the radar" site?

 

Poker Tracker is good too.

 

.....But if you're looking for fish and don't mind short handed tables, True Poker.com is good.

I have yet to find a site that does NOT take US players. Every major one appears to take US players, along with the 'smaller' sites.

 

As for the 'under the radar' sites, I am talking about the sports betting sites that attract the casual poker player. Bodog and sportsbook have plenty of games, so filling a table of 9 or 10 is not an issue since the entire world has access to the sites.

 

The nice thing about poker edge is you can add-on 'poker lobby' which scours the sites they support (over 100) looking for loose games. And then you can hop right over there to the loose games.

 

So far the programs and software out there are pretty interesting if nothing else. To be able to know right away if your opponent (who you've never played before) defends his blind, likes to limp in, etc. is just incredible.

You are a bit late to the party. Not that that is a bad thing. Its just that there are so many site that had to shut their doors when the legislation was passed.

 

Here is a list from cardplayer.com

 

When we say take U.S. players, we mean real money. Not play money . net sites.

 

Party poker was the largest site on the net bar none before the ban.

 

Paradise poker is one of the oldest and most respected.

 

Doyle's Room just recently came back but on a new network.

 

WPT card room not on the list but despite all the US viewers of the show, the site never took U.S. players.

 

Hollywood poker and all the sites on that network no longer take U.S. Players.

 

Cardplayer poker is a free site. They don't take money from anybody.

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94.

Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
