Starting out you should
make sure to shop around for the poker rooms that offer good bonus
deals and other promotions, as these will be of significant value
for you. We have negotiated with most leading online poker rooms to
offer our users a significantly higher sign-up bonus as well as
special promotions such as private high-value free rolls for loyal
players. See ranking of current highest online poker bonuses.
Be sure to look for soft competition, where the games are loose,
friendly and " passive" . It's not as much fun to sit at
tight/aggressive tables with mostly experienced players and you will
most surely lose money. The poker rooms with the loosest games are
often the most active marketers and the ones that also have an
online casino. They attract the highest proportion of beginners and
gamblers, which makes the games easier to survive and thrive in. See
ranking of the current most soft online poker games.
Some of the software offers a nicer playing experience, which is
far more enjoyable. The poker room software varies in speed, sound,
graphics and other options. Bottom line is that some poker rooms
have a far better playability where you can easily play at several
simultaneous tables without much hassle. Some poker rooms give you
the option of using a picture of yourself or choosing between
different characters. See ranking of the current best poker room
software.
The selection of low-limit games in fixed limit Texas Hold'em
cash games and tournaments (and maybe another game variation) will
be important to you. Player volume and game selection often goes
hand in hand, but some of the rooms have a stronger focus on
offering a diverse selection of games and lower limits. See ranking
of poker-games.
Despite the fact that it is hard to generalize, below is a "
Beginners short list of online poker rooms" for your convenience.
The focus has been to choose rooms which have very soft games
(weaker players), good selection of low-limit games and a good
sign-up bonus.
