Like everything online gambling, in this case – poker, has its pros and cons. Online poker is a game that people resort to in order to win some money. Online poker is a speculative game that is open to abuse, just like it were in the real world casinos.

Though there are no real people physically present in front of you they are still sitting at the other end of the internet at their own computers just like you are when you play your game of online poker. This is the virtual world of online gambling. The casinos of the past never wasted any time jumping onto the internet bandwagon. They soon learnt that the internet was a great tool to get millions of people, who might never have been introduced to the world of gambling, to get hooked to the game of poker. The poker rooms were scenes of constant brawls between players who constantly resorted to cheating and even accusing fellow players of cheating and the bouncers invariably had to break up the game by throwing everyone out. Thankfully this cannot happen in the virtual world of online poker sites.

Now the virtual world of online poker sites does have its cons. Everyone in the world of gambling is out to make some fast cash. Unfortunately most of them will resort to unfair means to achieve this. People have tried all sorts of tricks on online poker sites. The online casino owners and administrators themselves have been known to indulge in unfair means by fixing the cards that are dealt out or programming a computer to play for keeps without the other players being any the wiser.

So how do you determine if you are playing a computer or a robot? You cannot, because a robot is just a clever program that can use mathematical analysis to determine what is going to happen next. What you can do is to look up the casinos winning ratio and decide for yourself if it looks authentic enough for you to take part in a game of poker or not. You can also research the online poker room at the forums of online gambling and find out if the casino has a good or bad reputation. There is however, no way you can determine if you are playing real people at all.

Then there is the possibility of you being conned by a few of the players discussing their game over the telephone while they engross you in a game of online poker. This is the most common way to set up a player and get his part of the bet – then share it out.

So far as the pros are concerned there are few. You may find it comfortable no having to travel to get to a poker room or you like to play from the comfort of your living room. There are fewer distractions and chances of people being able to judge your cards by your body language or sneak a peek at your hand over your shoulder.

You have to know how to play the game and online poker rooms are a lot different to the real world casinos. So by all means take your chances and we hope you come out triumphant in the end.

Many people have found this online card game to be very difficult to master. Most of these people have been introduced to the game of poker through the internet where portals have offered free downloadable software to teach them the game. Most of the online gambling portals host online poker schools where one can sign up for free and learn the game – all this is designed to attract more people to the online game of poker.

The time will come when the student will become the ardent gambler and begin attending every online poker game and tournament on the internet – this is the whole scheme of things. It does not take long to teach a young enthusiast to learn the basic skills of the game of poker. It will be even sooner when the enthusiast loses his first bet online.

So, what is this online poker all about? This is just like playing a game of cards in the old days. Only back then you were sitting around a poker table in a casino and playing with people you knew actually existed, people whose eyes you could look into and know what cards he held, people who bet real money and you were guaranteed to receive if you did win. Online poker is different. You are playing long distance, perhaps from tens of thousands of miles away with people equally spaced. In fact, you really do not know if you are playing real people and if you will get your share of the profits. There are however, some advantages, You can be sure there will be no distractions like crowds around the table and dancers sneaking your hand information to other players at the table. There will also be no bouncers and you do not have to buy everyone at the table a round of drinks.

Before long you will be taking part in online poker tournaments and either making big money or losing it bog time. This is a good time to put your knowledge and skills of the game to the test. You never know if you are playing a real human or a computer robot that is designed to win and only win.

There are tens of thousands of poker tournaments organized on the internet every day. You will be one of over 60,000 players that play online poker and try their hand at winning. The best way to ensure a greater chance of winning at one of these live poker tournaments is to do some research and determine which poker room is best suited to your pocket and skills. Online poker forums are a good place to start your research.

Beginning as a trainee poker player and working yourself up the ladder into one of the live poker rooms on the net may take a while. There should be no rush here, take you time all the time keeping a keen eye out for the real players and the programmed computers. Once you have honed your skills at the game and done a bit of research you will be in a better position to determine which poker portal is best suited to you.

The Pokerstars.com European Poker Tour (EPT) began in 2004 as part of the worldwide explosion in Texas Hold ‘em popularity. It is a series of televised poker tournaments similar to those in the World Poker Tour (WPT).

In seasons 1-3, the most significant difference between the competing poker tours was the buy-in and its effect on the prize pool, with the EPT featuring buy-ins about half the size of the WPT. This changed in season 4 when the buy-in for most EPT events was increased to €8,000. (Due to increased popularity and lack of space in participating casinos).[1] At 2007 exchange rates, this is approximately equal to the US$10,000 which is the buy-in for most WPT events.

Furthermore, the final table is made up of 8 players, as opposed to the 6 player final tables popularised by the WPT.

The EPT is sponsored by and part owned by PokerStars and taped by Sunset + Vine for television broadcast across Europe.

The tour was created by John Duthie, winner of the inaugural Poker Million tournament. Duthie commentates for the show, alongside Colin Murray and James Hartigan. The show was first hosted by Caroline Flack, then joined by Natalie Pinkham. Season 4 of the show is hosted by Kara Scott.
