I have recently picked up playing poker thanks to my Fiance. Any tips or software I should use when playing online and or what sites should I avoid and which ones are good to play on ?
Living in
canada is probably the best place to play online, imo. Kudos on your immaculate location, I'm quite jealous.
But I digress.
The
online poker world is your oyster so
pokerstars,
888, and America's Cardroom (ACR) would be the rooms I would focus on.
PokerStars because it's PokerStars. Sunday Millions and all the other grand tournaments throughout the week are enough incentive to play there. I haven't played there for $ in a while but when I did, their buy-ins were a bit more than other sites, .25c on the $. A $1 sit-n-go would cost $1.25 to enter, $3 sng was $3.75, etc. I don't know if they've toned that down or not but there are other places to play that are less "rakey", imo.
ACR is another good site. They have the "Venom" series and other bi-monthly tournament series. They recently completed an Omaha tournament schedule, a PKO (progressive knockout) series, and also have a micro-stakes trny series.
888 is the site I wish I could really play at. That and
party poker. I've also noticed WPT Global is doing pretty good. I'd try there if I were you, just for the helluvit.
Enjoy your online venture and I wish you the best of luck.
