Hi everyone and welcome.

Online poker is such a big craze in the US at the moment we thought it was worth adding this forum as a place to discuss tips and strategies, compare online poker rooms and alert each other to bonuses, etc.

I personally play quite a bit on Party Poker and am currently reading up on Texas Holdem and trying to improve my game. Texas Holdem is now the most popular poker variant in the world and is the one I would most recommend specialising in if you want to make regular income online from poker. I only started playing it recently after specialising in half deck draw for many years, but it is interesting and complex and lends itself to skilful play.

So far I am able to win at the $3 - $6 tables in Party Poker most of the time but have not been able to demonstrate an edge at the $5 - $10 tables. The standard improves as you move up the stakes. I can make about US $80 per hour on average at the $3 - $6 tables at my current level of skill, but hope to be able to beat the higher stakes tables soon.

If you want to join Party Poker and get a US $100 joining bonus either click on the links on this forum or go to the index page of Pro-Punter where there is an ad for Party. Use the bonus code 200 Free when you join to get the cash bonus.

You can definitely make a good hourly rate from online poker if you read up a bit and get your skills to a reasonable level.
