PayNoRake.com Bonus

December 22, 2008

PayNoRake.com is a new poker room with a twist - they give their players up to 100% rakeback every day!.

We have written a bit more about this poker room here - PayNoRake Poker Room - but this post is just an update to discuss the paynorake.com deposit bonus.

The initial deposit bonus currently on offer is a deposit match offer of 100% up to $1000 which looks pretty nice. When we signed up for an account recently we followed the instructions on the site and emailed support in order to claim the bonus.

Using a poker odds calculator to win - part 2

December 17, 2008

Ok we’ve had a few problems so far and we are a bit behind schedule.  That is to be expected though, and as it is our own schedule it’s not really a problem.

Getting used to the software that we bought, Holdem Genius, took a bit longer than expected.  And as neither of us had ever used a calculator before this, it took us a while to realise that the Holdem Genius software is rubbish.

But it did finally dawn on us that this software isn’t really very good at all.  The purpose of these articles isn’t to rate and review poker calculators, so there isn’t really a need to say the calculator was no good for us, but in the interest of fairness I guess I should really point out the problems that we had.

Using a poker odds calculator to win at poker - Part 1

December 2, 2008

The title says it all, really, except it should be a question as opposed to a statement. Can you use a poker odds calculator to win money playing online poker?

Well, we are going to try to find out if this is possible. Having had a good look around the internets at the various poker calculators available, we are going to start with Holdem Genius. This calculator is our first choice as it advertises that it can be used on multiple tables at once, which most other calculators don’t seem to refer to.

So, we bought a copy of Holdem Genius for just a few cents under $100. There is an option to get it for free by signing up to a poker room through the Holdem Genius site, and it certainly makes sense to do it that way, as you only have to deposit $50 to the poker room in order to get the license for Holdem Genius.

PayNoRake poker room

November 29, 2008

PayNoRake is the latest poker room to hit the internet. And this one is very different to other online poker rooms in one important aspect - like the name suggests, you can get all of your rake paid back to you!

With PayNoRake.com you don’t need to do anything special in order to get your rake paid back - simply play poker on the tables and your rake will be credited back into your player account within 24 hours. There is a payment scale which determines how much of your rake will be given back to you. It starts at 50% and goes right up to 100% rakeback!

The poker room operates on the Action Poker network, which has some well known rooms already in it, such as Poker In Canada and Action Poker. Traffic (player numbers) is not as high as at some other poker rooms, although that might change depending on how well this new room manages to attract players.

Aside from the rake back deal, Pay No Rake also offers a 100% deposit bonus of up to $1,000 for new players.

This new room could be a big boost to poker players that have found it difficult to make online poker profitable. Between the deposit bonus and the rakeback deal, simply playing breakeven poker will result in a profit.

I can’t win at internet poker

November 28, 2008

So you can’t win at internet poker, eh? Why is that? Can you win playing poker in real life then?

So what can you do about that? You can say it is because it must be rigged and give up on it. But there are enough people winning consistently at online poker that makes us think that there must be a way to win.

You could start over, forget everything that you think you know about the game and learn it properly.

You could take a class - there are offline poker classes available in some cities. Buy a book - there are hundreds of poker titles available from various poker masters.

Take an online class - there are a growing number of sites that offer poker strategy lessons to players.

You could check out the site at No Deposit Poker Bonuses for some good poker room schools that also offer their players a free bankroll to begin playing with. This is a good resource for online players that are just starting out.

Poker Tips & Strategies

November 27, 2008

Online poker players often ask what are some strategies to play better poker. We hope to provide here some good strategies for becoming a better poker player, or at least playing a better game.

Meanwhile, here are our top 3 tips for playing better poker.

Be Patient
Being patient can be the single most important characteristic of a successful poker player. Being patient means waiting for good cards, and not playing any old hand just to be playing. Be patient, it pays.

Play less
It may seem contradictory, but playing less hands can make a big difference to your bankroll. Cut out those marginal hands in bad position, and wait for better hands, or at least better position.

Have fun
If you are not having fun when you are playing, regardless of whether you are winning or losing, then poker may not be for you.

Above all else, you should enjoy playing poker. No matter how good you eventually get, you will still have losing games. The money involved should not be more important to you than the game itself.
