Getting Started at www.skypoker.co.uk

Posted by Royal Flush Poker @ 12:00 AM, Sunday Jul 13th, 2008

Newer players getting started at www.skypoker.co.uk will first of all find an innovative system in place whereby, tournaments are shown on television, giving the option for a player to watch their performance back and help them iron out any flaws in their game.

The graphics on the whole at skypoker.co.uk are not what I would call the finest online, but many players feel such matters are trivial compared to the poker itself.

Skypoker offers games at varying stakes in Limit, Pot Limit, and No Limit formats, the only problem with variety I feel, is that the only game offered is Texas Holdem.

This is somthing www.skypoker.co.uk should look to improve soon if they wish to really compete with the best in online poker.

Skypoker.co.uk offers a start up bonus of 500 points which can be used to enter freerolls to boost the bankroll of a player starting out. Other tournaments which new players will find onsite are daily gaurantee tournaments with prize pools up to £25,000.

Another good feature for new players starting out are onsite tutorials to help improve a players game and meters whilst play goes on to let beginners know how strong their hole cards are. Skypoker is a relatively new site and as such their aspects of player traffic need time to improve, new players shouldn’t have any great trouble finding a game to play in though, and this is normal for new sites online.

On the whole I feel www.skypoker.co.uk is easy to find your way around and get started with, it offers a reasonably good poker playing experience too.

There are other sites which I feel offer a better all round package, as the lack of variety in types of available poker needs to be improved, and player traffic increased. These two issues of course walk hand in hand, and increased player traffic should follow a better variety of available games amongst other small improvements.

Sky Poker is overall a good site to get started out on, and should only improve with time.

Blue square poker time

Posted by Royal Flush Poker @ 12:00 AM, Monday Jul 7th, 2008

Sometimes when important decisions must be made at Blue square poker, players need a little extra time to ensure they come up with the right answers.

Every player in major live tournaments will have quite a period of time to make their decisions, due to the other players understanding this need for extra thought on important decisions.

There is no preset time allowance for any action as such, although others players can ask for a clock to be put on a player after a few minutes has elapsed. Once this clock has been called the player has 1 minute to act otherwise his hand is folded.

I feel it is right and fair that in a game where decisions can cost thousands, that there is no rigid timeframe in place in tournament play.

And the poker players are almost always very courteous about allowing several minutes before calling a clock.

One difference you will find in online play, on sites such as bluesquarepoker.com, is that no such rules exist and that is a shame I think.

Each player has their own clock, and on some sites, such as www.bluesquarepoker.com these can run down in a matter of 30 seconds - 1 minute depending on the site.

The sites should take notice of this, because it isn’t exactly a very strong incentive to play high stakes poker on their site. It simply isn’t worth the risk if you feel you are going to be bullied into making a bad decision, because you haven’t got sufficient time to contemplate everything fully.

Pokerstars is in my opinion, leading the way in combatting this to some degree with a ‘time bank’ where you can use extra time for important decisions. I still feel the feature could be improved however.

Other sites should look at this problem in more depth, it is of course also important not to inconvenience other players, as there is always a fine line with such matters.

Www.pacificpoker.co.uk review

Posted by Royal Flush Poker @ 12:00 AM, Tuesday Jun 24th, 2008

888.com offers a good quality poker playing experience in its poker branch of betting, in a room more commonly known as www.pacificpoker.co.uk.

When looking solely at PacificPoker.co.uk there are a few good points from the outset. The first time deposit bonuses are of a reasonable amount although they do have larger bonuses in other betting sections onsite.

A first time deposit bonus of 25% cash is offered for a deposit up to $100 in contrast to 100% in the casino section does appear to show that the site is not largely a poker orientated one and concentrates more broadly on other areas.

This however doesn’t necessarily mean that playing poker on www.pacificpoker.co.uk holds any less enjoyment, and in relation to bonuses and offers, Pacific Poker doesn‘t look too bad. There are often gauranteed multi tournaments onsite which can be as large as $20,000 on weekdays, and there are usually larger gaurantee tourneys of up to $80,000 over the weekend too.

Players with a slightly smaller poker bankroll can win their seats in such events through satellite tournaments if they feel the buy in is a little above their means.

After making the first deposit at Pacificpoker.co.uk, a player is offered one beginners tournament per day for a week which contributes towards a better all round first time bonus package than it first appears. So although the first time starting bonus may not be the most competitive on the net, if you feel yourself to be amongst the stronger players around you should be able to bump up your bonus package in this weeks worth of tournaments.

The layout of the site looks quite good too, and there are ongoing ‘bad beat’ and Royal Flush jackpots in operation. All in all this adds up to a good poker playing experience at www.pacificpoker.co.uk

Poker Tournaments vs Poker Cash Games

Posted by Royal Flush Poker @ 11:05 AM, Monday Mar 5th, 2007

Today I thought we’d take a quick look at playing poker tournaments vs poker cash games. Both can be fun - both can be lucrative - but only one can provide you with more risk than reward.

Limit Poker cash games generally require you to play the same strategy throughout your playing time, raising with similar hands in similar situations. If you play good strategy poker then you’re going to come out in front at the end of the day. You can play blind limits from 5c/10c all the way up to $1000/$2000 or even more. You can find the biggest limit cash games online at www.PokerStarscom.

No Limit Poker Cash Games can be a little more terrifying. In any one hand you can push your entire stack of real money into the pot in an attempt to win. When you do push your stack and go all in, you’ll be wanting one of two things - a call (if you have the nuts or close to it) or a fold (if you have a hand that you think can’t win). No limit cash games are considered the ultimate in online poker money making opportunities, but there are lots of sharks waiting to pounce. No limit games should only be played if you feel confident enough of mixing it with the big boys. wwwPokerStarscom has a huge range of No Limit cash games to suit all levels.

Finally we come to tournaments. Unlike limit cash games, your strategy in tournaments must change based on the different periods of the tournament relating to how many players remain and other factors. You can buy into tournaments for anywhere between $1 and $5000 - and the payout at the other end will depend on the number of players. Tournaments are a great way to win some big cash without risking too much. PokerStars brings you the best tournaments on the net (voted by players, no less).

In our next session, we’ll discuss ways to buy into expensive tournaments for a fraction of the buy in amount.

Play With Fish at WWW.POKERSTARS.NET and POKERSTARSCOM

Posted by Royal Flush Poker @ 4:31 AM, Tuesday Feb 27th, 2007

You looking for fish to play poker with? By fish I don’t mean the things you catch in the ocean and cook up to eat for dinner. A fish is widely known in poker circles as someone who cannot play poker, or someone who lacks the necessary skills to match it on the poker table with YOU! Sounds like a sure fire way to make some extra money? Trust me - it is. And where is the best place to find these POKER FISH?… POKERSTARSCOM

Well of course, the number 1 online poker site - www.POKERSTARS.COM… This is where the fish love to hang out. www.Poker Stars.com has so many players that are just there having a good time - getting drunk at home - making stupid calls - donating cash to your account. A good player can pick up on the fish and work to take advantage of their shortcomings. It’s not too hard and anyone can do it. What do you need to look out for at www.pokerstarscom?…

  • Watch out for any player on your table that is commenting excessively on the way other people are playing. Chances are this player thinks he is better than he is, or he’s drunk and can’t keep his mouth (err… keyboard) shut!
  • Watch for players that like to call big bets or go all in on low end flush draws. Sure, these might come off occasionally, but in general, these are poor bets for the fish to make - not that we will tell them.
  • Watch for players who always make the same calls with the same cards. These one dimensional players are easy to read and therefore make money off.
  • Finally, keep an eye on the play. If you catch a player betting big with small cards, or at a huge underdog chance of winning pots, chances are they have no idea about poker odds or they are seriously drunk. You can find these guys at pokerstarscom!

In summary, www.pokerstars.com.au brings you the best of fish action. They tend to hang around the 5/10 tables and the 1/2 NL tables. That being said, fish can turn up at any table and they love to play where all the players are - which right now is POCKERSTARS!
