Pay No Rake (Well a minimum of 50%)

noreply@blogger.com (Poker Bible) — Thu, 14 May 2009 08:00:00 +0000

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.

The great thing about this offer is that you get the free £10 instantly, there is no waiting to be approved. An added bonus is that the bingo software runs in your browser so no download is needed.

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.

noreply@blogger.com (Poker Bible) — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 09:00:00 +0000

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)

noreply@blogger.com (Poker Bible) — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 09:00:00 +0000

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.

Poker Edge - What is it ? (Post 1 of 3)

noreply@blogger.com (Poker Bible) — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 09:00:00 +0000

Over the next three posts I'm going to take a look at Poker Edge software.

Post 1 - What is it?
Post 2 - How to use it.
Post 3 - How to get it for free.

Post 1 - What is it?

Poker Edge is a great piece of software that you can use to help you play poker. It uses a database of information on millions of poker players. In fact if you've played online poker before it probably has information on you. If you want to check out your own stats enter your poker nickname into the form on the right hand side of this page (you may have to scroll down a bit).

It'll tell you exactly what other people know about your poker game and can see every time they play you if they are using Poker Edge.

How does this work?

Any player using Poker Edge software is sending information about every hand played backed to the database. So if there is data about you in the database you've already been playing against people using this software.

Just some of the information collected:

• How loose/tight a player is,
• Whether they're likely to defend their big blind,
• How often they raise,
• How often they enter pots,
• The percentage of hands they win at showdown.

That's just a snipet of some of the information collected.

In tomorrow's post I'm going to take a look at how to use this information.

If you'd like to have a look for yourself you can download the software from here and enjoy a free 5 day trial.

A Summary of Deposit Bonuses. Post 6 of 6

noreply@blogger.com (Poker Bible) — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:00:00 +0000

This is the final post in my series on deposit bonuses. Hopefully you are now convinced how impotant they are.

If you still need convincing I suggest you read my post on how I earnt $10,000 in 2007 bonus whoring.

Alternatively, you can read about how I earnt $5400 in one deposit bonus.

I hope you've taken a look at my table ranking the deposit bonuses of the top online poker rooms.

Below is a summary of what you need to know about deposit bonuses:

• Not all online poker rooms offer the same deposit bonuses so shop around first.
• You should join a new online poker room if you are not currently receiving a deposit bonus.
• Always deposit the maximum to get the full deposit bonus – unless you know you won’t unlock the bonus in time.
• Be aware of how long you have to complete your bonus. Choose a deposit bonus that gives you longer to complete it.
• If you are on a tight budget choose an online poker room that pays out the deposit bonus in small increments.
• Be aware that some online poker rooms pay the deposit bonus at a much quicker rate than others. Choose these poker rooms.
• Winning poker players make the most out of every situation so make the most out of this information.

The Best Deposit Bonuses. Post 5 of 6

noreply@blogger.com (Poker Bible) — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 09:00:00 +0000

Hopefully over the last few posts, about deposit bonuses, I have convinced you of a few things:

1. You need to be earning a deposit bonus whilst playing poker.
2. That you should always deposit the maximum.
3. Not all deposit bonuses are the same.

Perhaps the key point is that not all deposit bonuses are the same. In fact some can be up to five times better than others.

I took a look at all the deposit bonuses offered by the main online poker rooms to wok out which were the best. In my opinion the best ones are the ones that are the easiest to earn.

I worked out how much of the money you pay the online poker room is returned to you as a bonus payment.

The top online poker rooms were Ladbrokes Poker and VC Poker who return 67.5% of the money you pay them in bonus payments.

The worst online poker room is CD Poker which only returns 12.5% of the money you pay them in bonus payments.

To see the full table ranking the top online poker room deposit bonuses click here.

In my final post tomorrow I'll summarise everything I have discussed.

The Difference Between Deposit Bonuses. Post 4 of 6

noreply@blogger.com (Poker Bible) — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 09:00:00 +0000

Even though a lot of deposit bonuses appear alike they are often drastically different.

For instance, at Absolute Poker you get a 100% deposit bonus up to $500. You will have 60 days to complete the bonus and it will be released to you in increments of $5. For every dollar of rake that you pay you will earn 1 Point. As 6 Points are worth a dollar you have to pay $6 in rake to earn $1 of your bonus. So you are getting 16.7% of your rake returned in the form of a bonus.

At Ladbrokes Poker they appear to offer exactly the same deposit bonus: 100% up to $500. You again have 60 days to complete the bonus and it is released to you in increments of $10. For every dollar of rake you pay you will earn 20 Player Points. As 30 Player Points are worth a dollar you have to pay $1.50 in rake to earn $1 of your bonus. So you are getting 67.5% of your rake returned.

There is therefore a massive difference between the Ladbrokes Poker offer and the Absolute Poker offer despite the fact that they appear to be the same. You will earn your Ladbrokes Poker deposit bonus almost four times quicker!

In the next post I'll show you exactly how good you online poker room's deposit bonus is.

Why you Should always Deposit the Maximum. Post 3 of 6

noreply@blogger.com (Poker Bible) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 09:00:00 +0000

Hopefully I’ve convinced you over the last two posts that deposit bonuses are worth having. If you’re still unsure please go back and read through the last few posts again.

Before I suggest where you should be playing poker let me just explain why I feel you should always deposit the maximum.

If a site offers you a 100% bonus up to $500 I seriously recommend you should think about putting $500 into your account. Firstly it’s a one time offer. If you deposit $100 to start with and then $400 later your bonus is still only $100.

If you think you’re a winning poker player and won’t need to deposit that much into your account you should still put the maximum on. You can always withdraw your money later – you can’t get a bigger bonus later. Remember: winning poker players make the most out of every situation.

If you’re a losing poker player, or a new player, you may feel reluctant to deposit a lot of money onto an online poker room. However, remember this is a real way of minimizing your losses so deposit as much as you can afford to. Ultimately you can always withdraw excess funds at a later date.

If the thought of even depositing $100 onto an online poker room account is something you can’t afford to do or simply feel uneasy about doing then don’t stop reading now. To get $150 free, no deposit required, at an online poker room click here.

In the next post I'll take a look at why nt all deposit bonuses are the same.

Why you need a Deposit Bonus. Post 2 of 6

noreply@blogger.com (Poker Bible) — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 09:00:00 +0000

This is the second post in my series on deposit bonuses and in the post I'm going to explain why a deposit bonus is so important.

If you currently play at an online poker room and are not earning any kind of bonus from them, then you need to join a new online poker room. You are literally “throwing money away” and paying almost double for your game of poker as a new player on their site! Is that fair?

Just to be clear, the deposit bonus is essential for someone who plays online poker regularly. It means you’re getting a lot of the money, that you pay the online poker room, back. You’re not actually getting free money more a refund or discount on your rake. But it is still money you won’t get if you’ve been at your online poker room for too long and are not receiving any bonuses.

If you’re a losing poker player a good deposit bonus will help you to lose less or perhaps break even. If you’re a break even poker player a deposit bonus will put you into profit. Finally, if you’re a winning player anyway, think of it as a way to make more money. Winning poker players look for every opportunity to make the most amount of money out of every situation. Don’t miss this opportunity.

In my next post I'll take a look at why you should always deposit the maximum.

What is a Deposit Bonus? Post: 1 of 6

noreply@blogger.com (Poker Bible) — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 09:00:00 +0000

I intend to write a series of 6 posts focusing mainly on deposit bonuses. In this first post I'm going to take a look at what a deposit bonus is.

A deposit bonus is an incentive to get you to join a new online poker room. For example: a 100% up to $500 deposit bonus is a common offer by many of the top online poker rooms. What this means is that however much you first deposit, up to and including $500, you will get the same amount as a bonus.

Let’s assume you deposit $500 (and I always recommend you deposit the maximum for reasons I’ll explain later) you will then have a $500 deposit bonus. It won’t be awarded to you straight away (so don’t spend it yet); you’re actually going to have to earn it. This entire deposit bonus is in fact simply just a promise to pay you back $500 of your own money. However, don’t be put off by that, it’s still great news for you.

The rate at which you play poker and the stakes you play for will determine how quickly your deposit bonus is released. The bonus is, in most cases, paid to you in increments (often $10 or $20 at a time). How much you have to play to release your deposit bonus will depend on the online poker room in question.

For example at Full Tilt Poker you’ll earn $4.20 of your bonus for every $10 in rake you pay. So $47.60 in rake will unlock $20 of your bonus. What this means is that you’re getting 42% of your rake back. That is a massive discount!

In the next post I'm going to explain exactly why you need a deposit bonus.

Carbon Poker - Bad Player Fest!

noreply@blogger.com (Poker Bible) — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 09:00:00 +0000

I recently wrote a post on why I consider Betfair Poker to be the best online poker room for finding bad players.

This had to do with the fact that it is primarily a sports book and that a lot of the players come across from the sports book and know little or nothing about poker- great news for you.

It was pointed out to me however that Betfair Poker is not available to US players. So where should US players play?

Well the answer appears to be Carbon Poker. This is because Carbon Poker is on the Merge Gaming Network which is full of other poker rooms that are primarily sports books.

So the same logic applies - it's full of bad players.

So if you're a US player or a European player who's looking for bad players I highly recommend Carbon Poker. They also offer a great 100% up to $600 deposit bonus.

Host your own Private Tournament

noreply@blogger.com (Poker Bible) — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 09:00:00 +0000

Hosting your own poker tournament is a great way to play poker with your friends. Most online poker rooms offer this function and in my opinion VC Poker do it the best.

They offer the option to create and customize your tournament in so many ways.

Just some of the things you can customize are:

* choose the game (from hold 'em to seven card stud)
* the buy-in (make it as large or as small as you like
* choose whether you want re-buys or a freezeout
* pick how many players per table (6 to 10)
* set a password so only your friends can enter
* choose the starting chips (you can create a real deep stack tournament with 5000 chips).

A great thing about VC Poker is that they give away $35 to all new players no deposit required. Therefore you and your friends can not only create your own tournament but you can also play for free.

What you need to do:

1. Get your friends to join VC Poker by clicking this link.

2. Create your own poker tournament:

* Visit the VC Poker website - click here.
* Click the "Tournaments" tab.
* Click the "Private Tournaments" tab.

The free $35 is broken down into a free $10 and a $25 bonus. It may take 24-48 hours for your account to be credited.

You need a VC Poker account in order to create your own poker tournament.

To see how you can book your place, check out the full qualifying structure:

1. Click here to visit the Party Poker website
2. Click the "Promotions Tab"
3. Click "Monthly Millions"
4. Finally click "Qualifying Structure"

Sharkscope - Check it out

noreply@blogger.com (Poker Bible) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 09:00:00 +0000

In case you've never heard of it I'd like to let you know about www.sharkscope.com a great piece of free poker software. SharkScope is the most complete database of online poker sit n' go tournament results. It tracks virtually every sit n’ go played across all the networks.

How does it work?

You can use it to search for valuable information on people you are playing or even to check your own statistics. It will show you:

* Their average profit.
* Their average stake.
* Their average return on investment (ROI)
* Their total profit.
* Their form.

All of this is valuable information and can be used to decide whether a player is any good. Quite simply: if a player loses money then they are a poor player and vice versa.

Every day you will get 5 searches for free from your IP address. You can use these to find out information about yourself or others you are playing.
