Pay No Rake (Well a minimum of 50%)

There is a new online poker room on the ever growing Action Poker network called PayNoRake. This poker room has set out to offer it's users the best value for money in online poker - and I think they've achieved this goal. All players are entitled to 50% of their rake back when playing ring games (cash games). Players are rewarded the more they play and it's possible to receive up to 100% of your rake contributions back.

Depending on how much rake you generate in a day you will get anywhere between 50% and 100% of your rake refunded. I believe this is the best rakeback deal available in online poker. What makes this deal even better is that the rake repayments are made every day at midnight - quicker than any deal I've seen before. To see how the rakeback % is calculated click here to visit the PayNoRake website then select "My Rakeback".

If most of the poker you play is in ring games then you definitely need to give PayNoRake a try. Rake at ring game tables is typically 3% to 5% of every pot. If you play a lot of this type of poker you will be paying out thousands of dollars in rake each year. By getting a minimum of 50% of this back you will be saving yourself a small fortune which is too good a deal to turn down.

PayNoRake offers a 100% up to $500 deposit bonus to all new players. However, for the first time ever, I'm going to suggest that you turn down the deposit bonus. The reason for this is that you won't get your rakeback payments whilst you are earning your bonus. The rakeback is more valuable than the bonus so don't take the bonus!

I came across this offer to get £10 free at Wink Bingo. It's available to all new players and you don't need to make a deposit to get the free £10.

I'd never played online bingo before and I must admit my hopes weren't high. However a few games in I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It was perhaps helped by the bonus that I was quickly up to £30 after winning a few games.

The bingo cards vary in price between 5p and £1 and you can buy up to 24 cards for each game. The games start every minute or so and the lively chat feature helps to keep you entertained.

As for my £10 I turned it into £55 before sadly losing it all. This led me to find a similar offer at 888 Ladies where you can get £5 for free:

Victor Chandler Poker - Deposit Bonus Heaven.

Some online poker rooms give players very little back. VC Poker is definitely not one of them. In fact VC Poker should be admired for what it does for its poker players.

They have two great deposit options:


1. Deposit none of your own money - they'll give you $35 for free!

Yep, that's correct. VC Poker offer all new players $35 for free. You'll get $10, no deposit required, and an amazing $25 bonus on top. The great thing about the bonus is that it's extremely easy to earn as I'll explain.

2. They match any deposit you make up to $600 with a bonus.

If you decide to deposit your own money rather than take the free $35 you can get a bonus of up to $600. That may not sound that exciting - this is a fairly standard offer you can get at most online poker rooms. The thing with VC Poker is that their bonuses are the easiest to earn of any online poker room I've found. For every $1 you pay VC Poker you'll receive 67.5 cents back. This is massive. Very few sites offer more than 50% back and some sites offer as little as 12.5%.

So the question is not whether you should play at VC Poker but whether you should deposit your own money or not.

If you're short on money take advantage of the free $35.

I you can afford to deposit your own money you'll make even more than $35!

Poker Edge - How to use it. (Post 2 of 3)

In yesterday's post I had a look at Poker Edge, a fantastic piece of software that you can use to help improve your poker game.

The software runs on top of your poker table giving you live access to each player's style of play (see the picture). It also defines each player by a playing style such as rock, shark and fish.

The display automatically recognizes your opponents and overlays their key statistics next to their name at the table. An icon is also displayed showing their playing type (fish, shark etc). This can help you to quickly identify what type of player you are up against.

I use this software all the time and it pays for itself over and over. It will show me the same information (and more) that is shown in the table above. First thing I’ll normally look at is how often the players to my left defend their big blinds. If they fold to a raise a high percentage of the time I’ll know I can get away with stealing their blinds regularly. Conversely, if I know they like to defend their big blind, I’ll save myself chips by only raising with premium hands.

I can also look at how often a player raises pre-flop. If this percentage is too high I know it’s less likely that this player has a big hand and can feel more confident calling the raise or perhaps raising them back. Conversely if a player raises, who only raises pre-flop something like 5% of the time, I can give them the credit of having a good hand and lay down my marginal hand and save myself a lot of chips.

If you'd like to take part in a five day trial you can download the software for free here.

In tomorrow's post I'll tell you how you can get the full software (worth $110+) for three months.
