Finding the best website to play online poker

Shuffle up and deal! This is one of the famous sayings in poker that many players and tournament announcers love to say before the start of a major tournament. But, if you are playing online poker in the virtual world, this is not something that you are going to hear. Before you sit at the table and start clicking your mouse, you need to pick the right website, at is going match your criteria and which is going to offer all that you have been looking for.

What is it that you are actually looking for when it comes to choosing a website for online poker? Is it design, rake back, prizes, other players… No matter if you are a beginner or a pro, you have to search for all of these, which means that you have to find a website which is offering high prizes in tournaments, a lot of freerolls, nice design and graphics since you are going to spend a lot of your time staring at the screen and looking at those cards, chips, tables…

You need to make sure to get the best of it and to be satisfied with as many things as possible, but if the design is not that important to you, rake back most certainly has to be. That is the amount of money that the online poker website is going to pay you back, but it is going to be only one small part, such as 20% for the rake they have already taken after each pot. What is the quality of other players that are also playing on this website? Hopefully, not that high! This is what you need to be looking for especially if you are playing cash games rather than tournaments, since the element of luck is more relevant in the tournaments than during the cash or ring games. One of the best tips that you can give to a beginner is that he starts playing sit and go tournaments. Most of the time, there are 6 players at the table and it is much easier to win some money that way than playing cash games or other types of tournaments.

The decision has to be all yours, but one thing is for sure, if you are getting ready to make some serious cash, you have to start from scratch, like all the pros have started. It is hard to get rich over night playing poker, except if you are so unlucky. If this doesn’t make sense, let us clarify this part. There are so called “bad beat jackpots” which means that if you have an extremely good hand, such as four of a kind, and you still lose that pot to a better hand like a straight flush, on most of the online poker websites you are going to get 50% from the bad bead jackpot amount, the player who had the best hand is going to get 25% for example, and so on…
