How to Start
Playing Online (guide)
1. Do your research! Figure
out what poker room you will enjoy the most. Prioritize what's more
important to you about a site. Here are some things to consider
-
Graphics and
Software
-
Traffic
(Amount of people playing at that site, is it popular or not?)
-
Difficulty of
the competition
-
Security (Is your money safe?)
-
Deposit
Bonuses (How much incentive are you getting to join?)
-
Promotions (Does the site have a lot of promotions to
keep you happy?)
-
Customer Support (If you have a problem, do you want it
addressed right away?)
-
Withdrawing money (how easy do they make it to withdraw
your money? Is it fast or slow?
2. Now you need to understand all
of the above things are important on a site, but rarely will you
find a site with an A+ for all of those. So figure out which is more
important to you now, before you move on....Ok hope you've figured
it out. Now go to my page USA Poker
Sites , and look at the sites I have listed there (If you are in
the US or not, you can play at these). You can judge for yourself or
look at the reviews I wrote for each of them.
3. So you've done the hardest
part by now, you've found a site to play at! But how are you going
to fund it? If you are in the US, chances are that your credit card
will not work to put in funds... So what now? You can send a
check...but I must say that is not a very popular or fast way to get
money in your account. So I suggest using Neteller! Neteller is like
an online banking account, you can connect it to your real bank
account and take and put in money almost instantly! Neteller is used
by most people that play at online poker/casino sites and for a good
reason. They are by far the most used and safest way to go. They
handle close to $8 billion a year!
Best thing is most poker sites
encourage the use of Neteller and will often offer a small deposit
bonus if you use Neteller. Also most poker sites now pay the fee for
depositing money that Neteller charges! Which is good news for us,
because it makes Neteller practically a free service! (Sweet!)
Go to this link to look at
Neteller - Make the decision
for yourself! I Highly recommend it. Also if you want a 10% bonus on
your first Neteller deposit don't make an account yet. E-mail me at
admin@playsmartpoker.net
with the subject line: 'Neteller Bonus' and I will hook you up with
a link that gives you 10% on your first deposit after you make an
account. This will NOT work if you already have an account though.
4. So we got the site and we got
a way to fund it...what are we forgetting? Nothing unless you forget
to research the Bonus codes you need to get $$$ when you deposit!
Soooo many people make the mistake of depositing and not putting in
the bonus code! My page USA Poker
Sites has all the bonus codes you will need. To make sure,
always browse the poker site to search for the current promotions it
should not be hard to find.
5. Enjoy! You now have all the
advantages that online poker regulars now have! No need for that
beginner mistake! Just remember to play smart! Read the rest of my
site on some nice strategies and tips on how to dominate the poker
tables.
