Getting Started....

Getting Started Playing Poker Online Before depositing money, download the gaming software. Click the link to the left for Full Tilt Poker. Go through the basic registration process and select a name and a password. Click around, and play a little bit on the play money tables just to get a feel for the interface. Understand that the play here is absolutely not representative of money play online. Once you feel comfortable with the site, you will need to open an account with a third party payment processor. I use Neteller, and would recommend that, although there are others out there that are good and secure. You will need to set up an account and have your bank information handy. You will need to have your account verified by phone prior to moving money. This may take a little time, but once you are set up, it gets very easy. DO NOT LOSE your account code, password, and unique password…you will need all three to make deposits and withdrawals. You can make instant deposits at these sites, but there is a fee. Okay, you have the poker software and a Neteller account. Check your Neteller account to make sure that your funds are available and then log out and close the screen. Open your poker gaming software and hit cashier. Use your Neteller account identification numbers and make your deposit. Very quickly, you will now have money on your gaming account. Good Luck! Where to start? If you are new to online gambling, I recommend that you start by playing a Sit and Go. Avoid the multi table tournaments for awhile. Although these are tempting and a lot of fun, they can be very hazardous to your bankroll at the start. Select a Sit and Go that makes sense for your bankroll and stick to No Limit Hold Em for now, unless of course you are skilled at Stud, Omaha or another, but know that these games online do not play like they do live. When you play poker online, the action is much, much faster than live action and you will have fewer opportunities to read your opponents. The best recommendation that I can give you is to pay attention to the showdowns as well as how many hands each player enters. This will give you an idea of the loose players…the ones that you can take advantage of to build your stack with your quality hands. Later on this blog, I will share an online Sit and Go strategy that has made me a lot of money. Best of Luck! Squib
