Beware of poker sites that advertise heavily on TV! They advertise as being purely for fun, free poker sites. But they put a lot of pressure on the "freebies" to try the for-money sections of their sites. They will convince just about any freebie to "upgrade": Open an account and play with real money.
I tested poker rooms for fun, not for real money. I lost my bankrolls several times in the very beginning. It took me a while to get used to the virtual poker rooms and the software. I became comfortable and I won big. In one hour I jumped from $2,000 to $12,000! Trick: I kept records of the main parameters (previous community cards, my cards, etc.). Of course, you can't do that in a casino! In a brick-and-mortar casino, your memory is your only record-keeping tool! You simply cannot write down anything at a poker table in a real casino.
I received messages from other online poker players. Online poker is not the same as online sports betting. Poker can be fixed.
Indeed, the house takes 10% from the poker winner. But, I was asked and I asked myself, why settle for 10% when you can get 100%? It's the million-dollar question. The point is you, the honest player, see nothing of what happens in the cyber house. The online casino can create their own "players ". The "virtual" players can win at will — and they do most of the time.
I heard of one real player losing 50 hands in a row! I concur. I played for fun and did not have a winning hand in many, many hands. My best hand was two pairs - eaten up by a flush on the river! In fact, online poker sites admit that they RATE the players. Then, they match poker players by strength! If they rate, they can create! They analyze the players, although a fair random generator does NOT do that! Thus, a random generator is just one element in the grand scheme of things!
Some gamblers were shocked to hear a professional poker player stating on TV that he wins big online and that he is able to play easily multiple hands at the same table!!!
Plenty of facts here:
Online advertising: Internet, gambling, poker, fraud, real money.
