How to Play Poker Online

Working the lobby in online poker is as important as working the game you play. In a casino one can walk around the room,checking out the games and limits and studying the type of each game. The online poker lobby also offers information by clicking buttons, such as average pot size, number of players seeing the flop, number of
hands played per hour, names of the players in each game, the waiting list, and how many games of a particular limit are underway.

This information is something that can be used to choose the right game and limit. Some players like wild games; some like passive games. Some like full online casino games; some like short-handed.

Game and table selection is important online. Being constantly aware is a price of winning online.

Never choose the "any game at this limit" option when playing online. This limits your ability to manipulate your position on each sign-up list. If your name
comes to the top of the list in a game filled with players you don’t want to play with, when you pass this game, you are removed from all the lists.

At the busiest online card rooms, you have lots of options from which to choose and lots of information to use in choosing.
Try not to restrict yourself. Keep several card rooms on your computer from which to choose. Find the games that fit your style.
When your game texture changes from favorable to mediocre or worse, cruise the lobby for greener pastures. Keep constantly on the look out for better pot limits.
