do u agree
Where should I play?
Ask yourself these 3 questions:
Do I enjoy playing at this site?
Does the site offer games I am comfortable playing?
Does the site have competitive bonuses and reward programs?
If you don't enjoy playing at the site you are going to have a hard time playing good poker. Imagine going to work every day and having a coworker yelling at the top of his lungs every 30 seconds, the sun shining in your eyes all day long, and the building being so big you constantly get lost.
Well, as outrageous as this sounds it can happen if you pick a poker room that has sounds you find annoying, a color scheme that hurts your eyes, or complex features you cannot figure out. One person may find the graphics very appealing while another cannot stand them. Make sure you like the graphics, sounds, and features of the site you intend to play at.
So, before you sign up at a site make sure you download the software and play at their "play" money tables to make sure you like the sites features.
If you only know how to play 7 card stud than signing up at a site that only offers hold' em would be silly, no matter how much they offer in bonuses or how appealing the site is to you.
Make sure that people are PLAYING these games at the times you will normally play. It soesn't do much good if you play Hold' em and the only time the sites hold' em tables are busy is when you're sleeping.
You also want to make sure the stakes offered are comfortable for you. Some sites start at $1/$2 limits while others start at $.01/$.02. make sure the site offers the stakes you intend to play.
Before you sign up at a site make browse around their real money tables to make sure they offer the right games and stakes for you and there is enough traffic at these games.
Lastly, make sure the site offers you a reason to play there. Right now online poker is a buyers market, with 1000's of sites to choose from they all have to stay competitive. Make sure your site not only offers a good sign-up bonus nut also frequent reload bonuses.
Additionally many sites offer reward programs for their customers. Using these programs you can get tons of free gear: books, clothing, free tournaments, you name it.
Once you find a place you like, offers comfortable games for you to play, and has competitve bonuses it's time to move onto the second step.
Going through the right channel
Before you sign up at any site you should check around to see if you can get better bonuses, rakeback, or promotional gifts by going through an affiliate.
Ask around the forum and many members will direct you to reputable websites that offer these things.
These affiliates can make you $100's of extra dollars a month, just for signing up through them! you were going to sign up anyway, might as well get everything you can.
Never, NEVER, sign up at a site until you learn if they offer rakeback or you can receive a better bonus or gift from an affiliate.
