Successful Play Poker Online Free Players Guide To The Big Differences Between Casino And Online Poker
Within this free online poker ex-rocker, cop, casino security and poker table dealer John S imparts some free online poker training. In particular his insights on the differences between real world poker and online poker and then between the various types of online poker games, free and money ought to be a required read by every poker play right now.
It was 1988, way before free online poker was even dreamed of when I first went on tour with a heavy metal band eventually opening for such acts as Ozzy and Skid Row. Before I knew what happened, I was a police officer. For the next 20 years I would spend my time investigating homicides, sexual assaults and high tech crimes. As a result of a poor, as I’d say now, hand of cards, I ended up in early retirement which in turn led me into the world of casinos.
After surviving a series of heart attacks I needed something low stress to pay the bills. The Trump Taj Mahal hired me for the surveillance department and I spent the next six months observing the poker tables, learnt the game and went to poker dealer school.
This job proved a bit too much and I didn’t work as a dealer for long but it did turn poker into a new passion.
For the next few months I was a regular on the live casino poker tables but at the same time started toying with online poker sites. The world of live poker in casinos had taught me some hard lessons and I figured they would be an ideal base for hammering online poker games. That could not have been further from the truth. They are nothing alike and the same rules definitely do not apply.
In live casinos you get real interaction with the other players. You make friends, and if you’re lucky, you’ll take their money! But with online poker there is a mask of anonymity. A cloak under which people will do some very dumb things at a poker table.
Some get bored by the lack of personal interaction and so do their silly things. Yet there is a great opportunity to make money with online poker when you know what you’re doing.
How you go about making money in online poker comes down very much to what sort of game you play. Freerolls are very different from money tables; single table sit-n-gos are different from large multi-table tournaments. Big money games, as you might expect, are very different to free poker online and micro stakes penny poker.
I have spent an exorbitant amount of time playing freerolls. Not because I have to, but because I like building a bankroll on someone else’s dime. Although they are free, I can assure you they are no walk in the park. They vary greatly in prizes, but they all require the same thing if you have any ambitions on winning – patience.
The early stages of a freeroll will inevitably throw a storm of donks (short for donkey which refers to the worst poker players) at you with an unusually high percentage of pre-flop all-ins. If you can weather that storm (resist the temptation to risk it all with your pocket 4s or suited King/Queen) you stand a good shot at going deep into the tournament.
You must also not chase down your hand. You either flop a playable hand or you don’t. You don’t want to deplete your stack paying for a straight or flush draw.
If this does not make perfect sense then you should go play free online poker first to learn the games in depth.
The better free sites are truly risk free yet still let you legitimately build a bankroll from nothing at all, and you can always find a game to play. You don’t have to wait for hours for tournaments to start.
So go ahead and give it a shot, there is literally nothing to lose and they also offer loads of free online poker coaching for all levels from beginner up.
