The Best Online Poker Site

I’ve looked all over the Internet for the best online poker site, and I found it!

This site is extremely professional, never crashes, has the widest variety of online casino poker games, and gets my highest rating.  All of my friends play here, and it's great fun to play at the same table together.

There are usually 25,000 to 30,000 people on this site at all times of the day - this ensures that you can always find a game at your stakes level with a lot of action. Other online poker sites I’ve been to have very few players, and it’s hard to find a game at your level of play that doesn’t break up fairly quickly.  I've seen as many as 36,500 playing at the same time!

There are several modes of online poker play available:

Play money games for those of you unfamiliar with poker, but want to learn how to play the various games. This is an excellent way to learn how to play online poker in a real setting - the tables and action work exactly the same as they do on the real money tables. Once you get comfortable with the rules of the games and the way the betting and folding buttons work you can move over to the real money tables and feel perfectly comfortable.

A huge variety of real money games are available. You can play Hold’Em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, and 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo. Virtually any limit you are looking for is available for every one of these games, all with thousands of players in action at any time of the day. You can play limit games with ranges from $0.50 / $1.00 all the way up to $15.00 / $30.00. You can also play several levels of Pot Limit online poker and No Limit online poker.  My favorite is the No Limit games - lots of action and big money moving around constantly.

The part I like best about this online poker site is the huge variety of tournaments. They have tournaments starting every few minutes, and have hundreds of tournaments running constantly - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Tournaments give you a good chance of winning a large amount of money in return for a little investment and a couple of hours of your time.

You can play in single-table tournaments, multiple-table tournaments, and special weekend or event tournaments that pay out huge amounts of cash to the winners. I’ve seen some people win over $60,000 in just one of the weekend tournaments. You can just pay the entry fee for these big tournaments, or you can work your way up to the big tournament by winning smaller tournaments where the prize is an entry into the “BIG ONE.”

This site is so good that my wife, who used to bitch at me for playing so much poker online, now races me to the study to jump on the online poker site first! She loves the low-limit single table tournaments where she can play for an hour or two without much downside. She still gets really excited when it comes down to the final few players and she’s in the money!

I honestly don’t know why anyone would drive a couple of hours each way to sit in a loud, smoke-filled casino with bad service when you can play all the online poker you want while in your pajamas at home - having a couple of beers and eating a freshly-cooked steak hot off the grill. Now that’s my idea of fun!

Take a look at the online poker site - you won’t be disappointed!
