I generally find that the "bigger" sites are much better and stopping any of this sort of nonsense in it's tracks. I've never ever multi-accounted on a poker game for cash... that being said, I do play a game online which has a poker table as part of the game and is rife with these...

Number one mistake of poker "newbies" as such, or even less practised players, is that they play WAY too many hands and as a result of this often can find themselves what we call "pot-committed" with a mediocre hand at best. These are also the types of players who generally tend to talk a lot...

Even though the idea of playing freerolls or micro-stakes is a good one, you also have to consider that generally the players that are playing at these tables are either low-skilled or just don't particularly care and so don't really tend to "play good poker" as such. What I mean by this is...

As Bawse kind of pointed out above, it's best not to stick to a certain betting pattern or "rule" of how to bet based on certain hands - this will lead to experienced poker players quickly picking up even narrower ranges from you when assessing your bets. For this exact reason, every now and...

Don't get me wrong, I love the little bit of extra cash I make from playing poker, but it's not the main reason I play. The main reason I play is for the fun, the community, and the frequent online chatroom antics that poker brings out in people. I don't often play for long on sites without chat...

I actually find micro-stakes really hard to play, because you'll get people there who just don't care and will call all ins with 7-2 and other such stupidness. It's really hard to get reads on players in these kinds of microstakes games, because the player turnover is usually quite big too. I...

Nothing annoys me more playing poker online than the invariable idiot at the table who waits until the last second of the timer before taking his action every round. It's probably a tactic to wind others up and get inside a head, and not gonna lie, sometimes it works on me. Very annoying. :ROFLMAO:

Blockchain is my favourite crypto wallet and is personally the only online storage that I'd hold any crypto in. Otherwise I'd prefer to have my crypto holdings in offline cold wallets, just for added peace of mind and security.

I don't really share my winnings online, because it feels a bit too much like bragging. Not that I make an awful lot, but it's a nice side income at least. :P Nothing frustrates me more than seeing the so-called poker "influencers" posting their massive wins and bankrolls - yet you don't hear a...

I've noticed occasions before where I've had particularly bad runs of "bad beats", but I chalk it down to randomness over playing over an extended period of time. In my view, it's better for me to think of it that way than call into question the ethics of the site, as that'd probably make me...

I love poker, I definitely don't only play for the money. I have a very analytical mind, so the mathematical and calculation side of the game plays to my strengths and makes it more enjoyable for me. That being said, if I was a fish regularly losing money, I'm sure I probably wouldn't enjoy the...

A flush draw or an open-ended straight draw after the flop is the perfect idea of a "semi-bluff", for me. You can appear relatively confident in your betting, maybe alluding a mid-high pair or something (which is what I usually attempt in such situations), and I'll usually call any reasonable...

I don't follow enough of the "celebrity" poker world to know the characters involved, but as soon as I read "unregulated online casino" I had read pretty much enough to know how it was going to go. Why anyone bothers with these sites over regulated professional sites, I don't know. Well, I do...

Ultimately, poker is and always will be gambling. It's possible to go on a mega-run of bad beats, despite being a great player, that could wipe out your entire bankroll. Skill does of course play a big part, but luck is a massive factor too. I'm not sure I'd like to try and put percentage...

How often have you called pre-flop all ins on online tables? I've personally done it a few times with pocket Aces, and once after a few rounds of pre-flop raising where I had AK suited I all-in'd and won the hand with a straight. (not royal flush!) I don't really like doing it, and will...

Do you engage in any of the chatrooms/chatboxes that might be available when you're playing online poker? Do you like to talk to your opponents to try and get any reads, or even just make light-hearted conversation, or are you a strictly focus-on-the-hand kind of player?

That's not strictly true, or at least not true in the UK. In the UK, I can deposit/withdraw from online sportsbooks (and casinos/poker sites) using PayPal.

This was one of the first sayings I ever heard when starting to play poker, and it couldn't be more true. The fish is quite often (although not always) the player with one of the largest stacks and is frankly rather clueless at mathematical calculation and so is ripe for the pickings long-term.

I have a feeling that some of the more unscrupulous poker sites might code in something that makes newer players more likely to receive better hole cards, to make them feel like they are winning/getting close more often and thus want to play more. Might be a wild crackpot theory, but also might...

My "bankroll" I consider essentially to be the total amount I am willing to lose if necessary. Although Poker involves great skill, at it's core it still is gambling. It's entirely possible to have such a terrible run of luck that you wipe out your entire bankroll, no matter your poker skill...
