Choosing the Best Poker Site That Suits You

How do you choose the best poker site for you? With too many online poker sites to choose from, how do you know which one can offer you the best deal? Here are some tips:

Security and Privacy - The best poker sites offer excellent security and privacy; when you're playing poker for real money, you want reassurance that your credit info is safe, your identity and contact info won't be sold and that game conditions are as safe and as fair as possible.

Action - How's the action at your favorite poker room? How many play? Can you get action in the poker game of your choice anytime, day or night? Do they have diverse offerings with enough players to keep tables full? The larger the pool, the more action you'll see in both gameplay and cash winnings.

Gameplay - The best poker sites offer fast, easy gameplay with slick graphics and a pleasant poker environment-and their customer service is superb. A hallmark of the best poker sites on the web is their support ability, how easy is it to find the contact info on the site and have someone help you? How responsive is the customer service?

Connectivity - Does the game crash due to server issues at the online poker room's end? Are there delays in transfer of info? What about disconnection's? Anything that disrupts gameplay on a regular basis is going to be an annoyance and a major problem.

Cashouts - Check how much money players have won at their poker games and how easy or hard is it to cashout your winnings. Do they accept credit card? What charges are applied?

Free Play - Playing in the site's free play zone is a good way of testing out poker gameplay, environment, percentages, etc.and to familiarize yourself with what to do in the event of server crashes, how well you've understood the written rules of play at the particular online poker room, and the mixed quality of other players you may encounter.

Promotions - Do they have great promos? Sign-up bonus? Loyalty programs?

If you're a frequent player, and a pretty good one, poker tournaments should be your thing. Many sites offer the best online tournaments with guaranteed prize pots, plus satellite tournaments that could win you a seat to world poker tournaments like the WSOP and WPT.

The Poker Gazette: House OKs Bill To Let Charities Host High-Stakes Poker

The Poker Gazette: AUGUSTA, Maine -- The Maine House has overwhelmingly approved a bill to allow charities to raise money by hosting high-stakes poker games. It's a measure that backers say legalizes and regulates gambling activity already going on under the radar in many social clubs and charities.

After House members approved the so-called Texas Hold 'Em bill Tuesday, the Senate referred it to the appropriations committee for review because it adds three staff positions to the Department of Public Safety.

It remains unclear if Gov. John Baldacci would sign the bill. His spokesman reiterated Baldacci's opposition to expansion of gambling in Maine and said he's undecided on the measure.

The bill would allow charities to apply for a poker license once every two months. The maximum entry fee for the games would be $100 per person and no more than 100 people would be able to play at a time. Seventy-five percent of the money raised would go to charity."
