The difference between online Poker and online Casino

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

For the online Poker providers and online Casino providers there is a huge difference between Players who play Poker online and Players who play in online casinos.

First of all the difference between a Poker Player and a Casino Player is the Gamble. Poker is not really a gamble game because it has a lot of math inside the game.

Players who play in Casinos online only do it for the thrill of the gamble. This is why the provider has to offer a completely different online casino bounus and online poker bonus. The structure of these bonuses are that far apart that we should take a look at them. The main difference is that if players win in a Casino en Ligne they win from the casino. If Poker players win they win from the other online poker players and the poker room will take the poker rake. The beste online casino is the Casino that gives the most back to his players. Most Casinos online have a give back percentage of 96%-97% but if you look good there are Casinos that give back a percentage of 98%. The most landbased casinos have a percentage of 80-90 s that is much less. In the online poker rooms you can ask for rake back. In Poker online Rakeback is very usefull for the player because he gets a part of his money back. So if you look for Casino on-line and Poker rooms online make sure you choose the right one.

Bad Baccarat Run…

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

I’ve been playing Baccarat & Punto Banco for quite a few years now and I’ve actually been able to maintain a positive record for a long time, but over the course of the past couple weeks I’ve completely slipped and managed to lose about seven thousand dollars on the baccarat tables in close to no time…

I’ve decided to take a break from baccarat and focus on my poker which has been going extremely well, mostly playing online on various online poker sites…

We’ll see where things end, and I’ll obviously keep you posted! :)

Enjoying the spoils – When to Cash Out

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

cash-outWhatever your reason for playing poker, at some point you are going to want to benefit from your ever increasing bankroll. If you are a professional it will be to pay the bills and buy biscuits, for those more recreational players you might want a new pair of shoes. Or you might want to buy biscuits as well.

You can cash out your winnings from an online poker account any time you like, though some are much better than others. For instance bodog are very good, 888.com not so much. So you should look at how quickly you want to with draw and how much transfers back into your bank will cost.

Making regular withdrawals will make you feel better about the days when you lose and stop you blowing all your winnings on a crap shoot because ‘it’s there’. Obviously you want to be building your bankroll but you want to see some reward to.

]You can set yourself withdrawal goals in many different ways. Some set themselves a target, say $100, and cash it out when they have made it. Others, like me, like to cash out a percentage of their profit on a weekly basis. The benefit of the latter is you will be building your bankroll as well as seeing a reward.

Keep an Eye on your Bankroll – Keeping Records Pays off

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

moneyHow much did you make last month? Last week? Yesterday? If you don’t know then you are probably leaking cash faster than a sinking ship. If you want to be a profitable player then you should be keeping accurate records of your play. Keeping records makes you focus on whether you are actually losing. If you don’t keep them you may not notice you are not really winning until all your cash has gone. It will also give you an accurate reflection of how good you actually are.

Records you should be keeping include the following as a minimum;

Where: the site or casino. I would also think about adding days and dates. Knowing where you play best is important. Some sites will have players that you can crush easily. Other sites will have players that can crush you.

Type of game: This is important as not every type of game will suit you. Are you better at cash games or tournaments?

The profit: Not how much you won but the real profit. Winning $100 in a tournament sounds good but if you paid $99 to enter in reality it isn’t that good.

Time played: It is easy to while away the hours. If you made $50 dollars yesterday that is good but less impressive if it took you 16 hours to do it. Honestly you are better off working in Mc Donalds

You can record all your games/sessions/tournaments in a simple spreadsheet or you can a program like Poker Tracker or Hold’em Manager to help you.
