Giving Online Poker a Try
Everywhere you look, you are being confronted with online poker. Watch any televised poker tournament and at half the final table are online poker players. Once you decide to give online poker a try, you want to give yourself the best chance at success. Here are four tips to help you get started the right way.
Deposit Bonuses
Almost every poker site offers a very attractive bonus when you make your first cash deposit. Usually they will match your deposit 100% and sometimes even more. Most sites will require you to play a certain number of qualified hands on their site before they give you the bonus. They have specific methods of determining what hands qualify. Read the fine print and figure out how hard or easy it will be to get your bonus from each site that interests you.
Beating the Donks
This has been a concept that most players think is a possible thing to do, think on people. You can not beat the poker donk no matter how you play your choosen game. A Poker donk can be found at all tables and at all levels.
Avoiding them is the key to beating them, this has been said before but how many of you reading this actually take player notes on these people? If you are beaten by a donk you take their name and a few notes not to go looking for them for revenge but to avoid them in the first place. The favourite place to find a donk will be in the MTT game simply because the buy in is small enough for them. The further you move up the less donks you will run into, as I said you won’t avoid them but you can cut back on the chance of running into them.
