So, you have tried out poker at a home game and probably won some cash or at the very least have a grasp of the rules of the game, you enjoy and have seen how the pros do it on TV but playing your weekly home game doesn’t fill the gap anymore and you are looking to expand your horizons.

Well then, this Ultimate newbie guide to playing poker online is dedicated to you in the hopes that you will choose the venue that best suits your needs.
When it comes to poker online for a novice the concept itself seems overwhelming particularly for unsavvy occasional internet users, this guide hopes to steer you in the right direction.

The plethora of poker rooms, different protocols and software variations available on the internet seems daunting for a newbie player to say the least we have compiled a listing of what you should be looking for when choosing your new internet poker venue.

Choosing an Internet Poker Room

One of the first choices you will be confronting in your quest is that of finding a suitable internet poker room that meets and hopefully exceeds your expectations while avoiding the many rouge sites that unfortunately do exist.

If you are an American you have an additional choice to factor in, i.e. many rooms no longer offer their online poker games to USA citizens since Bush passed into law the UEGIA, so your options have been narrowed down, yet there are still some excellent choices for you to choose from, simply use our right hand navigation menu under “Poker Bonuses”, poker sites that still allow USA players real money play have a small American flag adjacent the room’s these are the internet poker rooms that continue to allow poker players from America including two of the most popular internet poker rooms in PokerStars and FullTIltPoker.

I was just playing a Mickey Mouse tournament at PokerStars and the servers crashed. I’m not sure of the full extent of the affected events but I did notice that all the satellites to the Sunday 1/4 million are down. Players have been put on break so long – lol, first time I have ever seen PokerStars go down, it’s really unusual hence this post.

I sent support a few logs and emails already, not sure of their rulings entirely but its hardly fair that I lost several blinds while others were still connected, I went so far as to reboot my PC and after that didn’t succeed I switched ISP’s sent the log files etc. Hope they fix the issue soon……

Whenever I play poker online I’m always somewhat hesitant on my abilities as a player albeit quite an experienced one (well I like to think so at least).

Calculatem Pro eliminates some of this doubt when I’m faced with tough decisions at the poker table while the Texas Hold’em poker calculator itself by no means guarantees that you will become a winning poker player, but it certainly puts your mind at ease when confronted by those uncertain judgment calls we have all become accustomed to as players, this online poker tool removes some of the edge of the situation by helping you to determine the correct play thereby making the correct call or play based on the percentages and odds rather than your gut feel or instinct.

I personally never really mind losing a hand in a bad beat so long as I can justify my play as being the “right” thing to do, the sole reason for this approach is simply, well I believe that if you make the correct decisions at crucial moments more often than not you will end up being a winning poker player in the long run.

I have tested many other online poker calculators and tools, yet none have been easier to use while providing all the pertinent information required in order to make the right play at any given moment. There are two versions of Calculatem available the regular standard Calculatem and the pro version both of which cover in excess of 250 online poker rooms, including all the rooms our site features + many more.
