Poker for Beginners

We all had to start somewhere and this beginners poker page is a good place to start.

How Online Poker works

The poker room provides you with software where you can play poker at a virtual poker table. Other players, like yourself, can join in the game and play poker with you. The software has a RNG (Random Number Generator) which ensures that cards are dealt randomly. Unlike general casino games, the poker room takes a rake as a reward for providing the facilities. With this rake they fund tournaments, pay royalties, and continually reinvest into a bigger and better poker room for you. Online poker has one BIG advantage in my view and that is that you can play with total anonymity and NOT be given away because you don't possess a stoic poker face!

Poker Jargon
