Site Of The Month
Poker site of the month this month goes to Ladbrokes Poker.
One of the most popular poker sites on the net and really goes all out to please its members. It is in fact Europe's busiest online Poker site with poker player numbers regularly exceeding 10,000 at peak times - spread across as many as 2,000 virtual poker tables.
Over 10 million hands are dealt at Ladbrokes Poker every month.
When you sign in you have the choice to either play instant poker in flash or download the application to your desktop. Both versions are quite impressive.
The site gives to very easy instructions on how to get started so if you have never played on line before this site is a great one to start with.
Once you have joined, picked your alias and deposited funds you are ready to start enjoying the game of poker.
Cash Tables - Play against other players with your own money, in chips, at the table.
If you have decided you want to play at the cash tables then you need to decide which particular type of poker you want to play (Texas Holdem, Omaha Poker, Stud Poker) and at what stake level ($0.02-$0.04 Fixed Limit beginners tables to $50-$100+ No Limit experienced player tables).
Click on 'All', select 'Beginners Tables', choose your game type (Hold'em is the most popular type of poker and the game you may have watched on Television) and then select the stake limit you wish to play on.
Ladbrokes suggests that New Players play at the Beginners Cash Fixed Limit (FL) tables to start with.
Tournament - Pay a fixed fee to Buy-in and play against other players with our Tournament Chips.
If you want to play Tournaments then, again, you need to decide what type of tournament you want to play (a quick Sit'n'Go, single table tournament {SnG} or a Multi Table Tournament {MTT}) and decide the level of buy-in (the amount of money you are committing) to the tournament.
Ladbrokes suggests that New Players play at the low buy-in ($2) SnG tables to get used to Tournament play.
