How to Win a Rake Race
I recently wrote an article called How to win a Poker Rake Race and have received some great comments so I thought I would share with you all my online poker tips.
Spurred by the sheer number of Poker Rake promotions avaialable to online poker players I felt the need to give poker novices or those players who have not taken part in a poker rake race before some small competitive edge.
First Poker Rake Races work by collecting the rake an online poker player generates and putting the rake amount into a leaderboard format.
There are several things poker players can do to increase their rake generation:
1. Limit /Level Selection
2. Table Selection
3. Site Specific Issues
4. Multi tabling

Online Poker Community benefits Live Poker Community
Whilst poker has been played in one form or another for over 10 centuries until recently the only way you could play poker was at a table with cards and chips.
If you asked people what to describe a poker room they would have come up with the classic image of a poker room was a dingy, smoke filled lair inhabited by shady characters where you were just as likely to have your legs broken as go home a winner. Even into the 1970’s, poker rooms such as the famous Binion’s in Las Vegas (original home of the World Series of Poker) were ugly, smoky rooms with bad lighting, a far cry from the beautiful luxury rooms you see now at Wynn, Bellagio, and the Venetian.
The reason for those low budget rooms was simple: low budgets. There weren’t enough players to warrant the big casinos spending money on a fancy poker salon, however in 1998 with the growth of the personal use internet and at home PC's the very first real money online poker play poker room opened and that led to the biggest explosion in the history of gambling.
Players couldn’t sign up fast enough. Online poker grew at exponential rates. The two poker communities collide in 2003 when chris Money Maker, won the World Series of Poker after qualifying online . Players suddenly signed up for online accounts and became a part of the online poker community.
The poker community was beginning to get riled with the unpredictable characters rising up the ranks through online poker. Players began to be classed as ‘live’ or ‘online’ poker players, each type of player was lumped into a style based on their preferred method of gaming. Live players were steadier, less aggressive players who made plays based on ‘reads’ of other players betting patterns and physical tells whereas Online players were hyper-aggressive youngsters who fired away at every pot without regard to what their opponents might have.
Whilst these steretypes may once have been trues now, in order to be a good poker player, you have to be well rounded, and most skilled players play BOTH types of poker well.
Online players watch enough poker on TV and put in enough time playing live to understand the skill of live poker. And, because of the MASSIVE number of hands online players can see (online players average twice as many hands per hour as live tables, and often play many tables at once: therefore, a young internet pro like Tom ‘durr’ Dwan has likely played more hands in four years than Doyle Brunson has in 70 years), online pros have an excellent grasp of the math and odds of the game.

Live the Dream - How to get started playing poker
Whilst the dreaming part is not so hard, but doing something about it is where most people fall short.
An important man once said :
"there are some people who are happy to dig a hole for someone else, but you will only get rich if you pay someone to dig a hole for you'
As with most important men, I can't really tell you what the hole has got to do with playing online poker but I do know that if your dream is playing professional poker or at least making a profit from playing online poker you have come to the right place.
So here is how you can live the dream in Poker.
should read our how to play downloads (I have written the rules of all the main game variations - Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Stud and Draw) I suggest that you learn Texas Hold'em first as it is th e most popualr and more available to new players.
Once you feel you have a grasp of the basic poker rules, the best thing to do is give it a go. At first you will have a small amount of bankroll so you should either play through an online portal site such as LTDPoker who give new players up to $500 free no deposit bankroll. Then avoid playing on cash game sit n go's you will quickly lose your money and will probably not go back to the game again. The best thing is to find an online Poker freeroll tournament that has the fewest number of players in it. again if you play through a portal site such as LTDPoker regularly holds exclusive freeroll tournaments for their players at top rated online poker sites.
Good sites to play on are Party Poker, Paddy Power and Betfair as they have easy to dowload poker software and simple graphic.
Once you have practiced you need to work on your poker strategy and we have a number of articles that can help you on these stages.
Also don't forget to engage in the online poker community, look at forums, blogs and news feeds to increase your knowledge of the best online poker sites to play on and the big prize online poker tournaments you can qualify to for as little as a couple of dollars. Sites on the big networks such as Bwin Poker and Mansion Poker hold daily qualifiers for tournaments worth Millions of Dollars!
Remeber if you pay $2 to buy into a qualifying satelitte, you have a better probability of winning the World Series of Poker than if you buy a lottery ticket. Plus even if you don't win the WSOP you would have earnt some winnings on your way.

What's in a Screen Name?
The Most Popular names break down into a few categories.
Pro Names
Some players like to take the name of a famous professional player to hopefully intimidate their opponents. This generally has the opposite effect as lets face it if you are going to be good enough to play like a pro you would want your own identity! These player are generally small time fans of poker not serious big stakes players. Female Names Women are often perceived as inferior at the poker table. While it may be true that men win most of the big events, this is simply a case of percentages, take examples such as Annie Duke, Anette Obrestad and Liz Lieu. Male players who take on a feminine handle are likely to be banking on these perceptions; many players are less aggressive or get distracted against a woman.
Fish and Shark Names
The most famous example is probably Dave “DevilFish” Ulliot. Players advertising themselves as fish are employing similar tactics as those who take women’s names. Likewise Shark related names are most often from the same School as the “Pro Name” Players. If you are a shark you do not advertise the fact!
Pop Culture and Counter Culture References
It is a good rule of thumb to avoid political, sexual or potentially offensive references. It may seem funny at the time but if you are to go on and play regular poker you do not want to me perceived as a trashy and put off the sensitive fish. Fictional Characters and celebrity names are becoming more popular. The validity of this depends on the character. A James Bond ref, is probably a new player who will play “Movie Poker” hands, probably easy to draw into a few All ins.
However comedy or classic refs are generally names that have some meaning to the player stemming from their real life such as nicknames or profession. Jumbled NamesA mixture of words and numbers that seemingly have no reference are the smart choice for players who do not wish to present and perceived “Poker Personality” playing behavior.
Poker References
Poker Terminology: Some players use cool poker phrases as their screen name: RiverBeat, FloppedQuads, and JacksUp. Although a few of them are cheesy, the majority of them are some of the more creative names out there. The word “Stud” doesn’t always signify a stud player, but Omaha references are almost always on target. Mousing over an “Omaha” player’s icon to make sure they’re not actually from Omaha, Nebraska is a good idea. If they’re not, chances are they know their game.Clever people tend to be more intelligent. Watch out for these players. An opponent who intentionally misspells suited as “Sooted” might be someone to watch out for. These players are making fun of the fish that like to play a pot with any two suited cards regardless of rank. “But it was soooooooted” is a common way to poke fun at this tendency

Earnings which the online poker rooms make.
There are total four methods for making profits.
Rake is collected from most of the real money poker pots. The rake is normally calculated as a fraction of the total pot generated in each hand. The percentage is based on a sliding scale and capped at some maximum fee. All the internet poker rooms have different rake structures.
Next method is from the pre-scheduled multi-table and sit-and-go tournaments. Mostly they are not raked but have an entry fee approximately 10 percent. Some online poker sites also offer games like blackjack or some side bets on poker hands where the player plays against "the house" for real money. The odds are in the house's favour in these games, thus producing a profit for the house. Next most of the online poker sites hold money, I mean the funds which we deposit while playing is invested. Since they don’t have to pay any type of interest on the money which we deposit, this is the easiest way for the source of their revenues.
Generally most of the internet poker sites suggest some kind of incentives to players in the form of bonuses. Usually these bonuses are to attract the poker players to play on the poker sites. Whoever is winning constantly can add to their winnings with the help of these bonuses. I think we should very well go through the bonuses given by all the internet poker sites and continue playing with only those sites who actually realize them.

UIGEA clarification act Supported by RGA
PokerStars are off on a Caribbean Adventure
The PokerStars Caribbean Adventure (PCA) will begin on Jan. 4, 2009 at the Atlantis Resort and Casino in the Bahamas. Despite the fact the Caribbean is hundred of miles away, the 2009 PCA will be an official European Poker Tour Event, is not exactly in Europe.
Last year's event attracted more than 1,000 players, making it one of the largest playing fields assembled outside of North America and generating a massive prize pool of over $8.5 million.
Team PokerStars pro Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier was the eventual champion of the 2008 PCA took home $2 million for the win. Grospellier commented, “The PCA is always a special tournament for poker players, especially because the location is so great, there are so many online qualifiers, and the atmosphere is very special. Players are usually much younger, too, and I know many more of them as we always play with each other on PokerStars.”
In addition to a cast composed of the usual plethora of Team PokerStars players like Daniel Negreanu, Joe Hachem, Greg Raymer, and Chris Moneymaker and of course Grospellier will return to defend his title.
The PCA Main Event boasts a $7,800 + $200 buy-in Step tournaments start at $7.50 for a PCA seat all the way up to the sixth and final buy-in in the steps tournament, which has a $2,100 price tag. Double shootout tournaments begin at $11. PokerStars makes a concerted effort to promote its steps tournaments; its website notes: "Place in the top two spots in any of the PCA Steps events and we’ll give you a ticket to the next step. Make it all the way to Step 6 and you’ll play in a two-table tournament that gives the top three finishers a $12,000 2008 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure package."

The Tour crescendos at the end of 2008 with a seven day Grand Final which will crown a worthy GCBPT champion.

Advantages of Online Poker
There are thousands of people playing online poker already. Any time and any poker room you would check is nearly or completely full. You should know that you can play online poker only for fun and when you ready try Internet Poker for real money.
If you are comfortable doing things on the Internet you already have the proper backround to start playing online poker, assuming that you know poker rules and poker strategy at least in basics. It is hard to play real poker, when there are no places around you, such as casinos, but using Internet playing online poker becomes available to anyone.
Playing online poker you can stay anonymous without doing a disguise, in an environment where all your opponents see of you generic icon. You can also play against poker opponents from around the world.
The beauty of Texas Holdem Poker
Texas Hold’em is a different variant known as flop games. This type of poker has stud and draw games. The cards dealt to the players are only known by them and not exposed to anyone. The exposed cards though belong to everyone. Use of share cards to complete a poker hand is the main characteristic of flop games. This factor makes Texas Hold’em the most exciting and challenging game to play.

Online Poker Tips
Another advantage of online poker is that you have to realise that many poker players can be distracted by watching tv, reading, playing more than one table at the time, talking on the telephone. That gives you a really good tip, which plenty of professional online poker players use to win. You must know that even a good poker player is not too knowledgeable, or too prepared. "Know thine enemy" is not only an expression. That is a cardinal rule in online poker world.
Rake back in Online Poker
There are online poker sites, which would cover all aspects about Rake back, poker sponsorships, prizes and the beauty about it is that it is free to sign up for every deal you may find interesting.
Depending on the level your you are playing you can make hundreds or even thousands of dollars each month! - and the only thing to do is keep playing your game!
Online Poker Rake is the small amount the Poker site make, each time a single hand is played or a tournament fee is paid. - And the amazing thing is that you are able to get a piece of the share the Poker site makes.
For a Poker High roller playing high stakes Poker several hours a day it would be a free monthly bonus of several thousand dollars - a nice boost for the poker bankroll.
Online Poker affiliates offering poker sponsorship attract many poker players by offering them a party of their revenue - and make the player more loyal for the Poker site.
You might be searching for deals on some of the biggest Poker sites without finding any. - The reason? - The site are able to attract thousands of players and don’t see any reason to share their income with their most loyal players.
Instead the offer reload bonuses, special free roll tournaments and special loyalty programs where you can obtain points and by some merchandise. That is nice indeed, but for a Poker player the only thing that really matter is the size of the bankroll.
Browse the site and find what program suits you: no deposit bonus offers, affiliate, monthly sponsorship or rake back.

Online Poker Reviews. Noble Poker.
VISIT NOBLE POKER
Bonus Code — No Bonus Code Needed 50% up to $100
Noble Poker is the main room of the iPokerNetwork by Playtech. Noble Poker has some of the loosest games around, probably because they draw so many casino players on this network. Noble Poker has been around for only a couple of years, but the Playtech corporation has been around for a very long time and is very solid.
Noble Poker Bonus
Noble Poker has a fairly decent bonus incentive, 50% match up to $100.
Noble Poker had some software issues a few years ago when they first went live. Needless to say, all of those glitches are fixed now and Noble Poker has one of the best software packages out there. I do think that some of their special features, like sound in the background, are a bit unnecessary though.
Download Noble Poker
Noble Poker Traffic
Noble Poker has decent traffic at peak hours but suffers a little bit during off hours. Most of the traffic at Noble Poker focuses in the lower limit, Texas Holdem games. I have found some decent Omaha action at Noble Poker, too.
Noble Poker Game Variety
Noble Poker probably suffers most in this department. The game variety at Noble Poker is really weak. All Noble Poker offers is Texas Holdem poker and Omaha poker.
Noble Poker Customer Service
The iPokernetwork, which Noble Poker is a part of, has a reputation for the best customer service around.

Become an online poker pro
Tips for becoming an online poker pro:
Treat online poker like a business, track your poker stats and star in porns with shriveled up 80 year olds.
Helpful advise on the "business" aspect of things:
Poker is a business in addition the the great game you love. If you are going to be a pro you must be able to manage your game as if it were a business. You must be able to properly manage you bankroll, money and everything else that goes along with the game. That is probably the biggest set back for most that try to do this. You can be the greatest poker player in the world, but if you are not able to manage everything properly, you do not have a chance.
Another thing is that becoming a professional poker player really takes balance. It can be very easy to play poker 24/7 if you love it enough, but that is only going to hurt you in the long run. You are talking about something that is going to run your entire life. You will be relying on poker as your full time income which is a lot of pressure. Without the balance, you are going to get overwhelmed and drained out. That is why so many players do well at first but end up going down hill a year later. Keep a balance in your life and that will not happen.
And where do the online poker pros play? Check www.ltdpoker.com
"When we say "can" become, in online poker that means that the possibilities are endless, but it still takes more than you would believe."
Littlewoods launches private poker play
With poker steadily rising in popularity, more and more people across the UK are starting to set up their own regular poker nights with friends and work colleagues. However, many players often face weeks of careful planning to create a tournament, as their opponents live in different locations. Using the private play function players can determine the amount of money needed to buy-in to the tournament, as well as setting a limit on how much is bet on each hand. It also allows players to regulate who joins their tournament - allowing them to play against trusted friends rather than trying their luck against strangers.

Online Poker for Beginners
Online poker games are offered at many websites. Depending upon the website, these games have different policy. If you have the slightest skill to bluff someone you cannot see, because any one can play online, then it is quite easy to win at poker online.
Online Poker Rooms that offer the game also give directions on how to play, wagering, and even how to win. On many websites, the instructions on how to play are also all verbatim. There are few rules to online poker and they are very easy to learn.
The online poker rooms give examples of when to hold onto your cards or just throw them away. Anyone who learns to be a good bluffer could beat a professional. Many online sites give examples of when someone is bluffing, but that is not a surefire way to knowing.
Playing online poker can be tricky, as you cannot see your opponents. This inability to find “tells” in the other players poses a problem for some players. It is hard to guess whether a person is lying about what they have or if they really have a good hand. Winning at poker can come with difficulty. Whether your hand will hold strong enough throughout the entire hand often depends upon the luck of the draw. Occasionally having three aces, which is a very good hand, can be beaten because someone else has a hidden pair that gives them a full house.
The players need to focus on the betting styles of the other players rather than watching their body movements making online games more exciting. You are well on your way to winning the pot after you have figured out if someone is bluffing by raising too quickly or raising too late.
Online Poker related websites offer tutorials and poker startegy articles to help the beginners learn the basics of the game. To learn the finer points of the game, for those who do not learn by reading, the tutorials are a great asset. Because there are many different factors to a poker hand, tutorials can take some time.
Also watch a couple of hands at an online table to get the idea of how to play. Once you think you have the general idea of the game, take a seat and start to play online poker. You are not betting real money out of your pocket, so it is easy to get reckless in an online game. You might also want to get some sponsorship out of other online poker affiliate websites.
Every Poker Player can either join an online site that offers free games or paid memberships. Website points or fake money are used at free online poker sites. Paid memberships are usually using the players own money which makes the player more apt to be careful while playing. Online poker games are the best choice for a novice. They not only give full descriptions of the game but also offer exercise games for learning. Online poker gives the players time to learn the technique and begin to win real money.
