Are you looking for a place to play poker online? If you are from the US, this can be very difficult to achieve since the poker giants PokerStars and Full Tilt left the US market. There aren’t too many respectable poker sites left to play at for real money. You can always play for fun, but we all know that isn’t much fun at all.

That’s why PokerView has come to save the day! You can play the real money poker games there without the same problems you have faced in the past months. The biggest problem that I have found is actually funding my account. PokerView makes this very easy and you can get back to playing poker online.

You will find all of the major card games, just like any other poker site that you are used to. This includes Texas Hold’em, 7 Card Stud, Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo. You can play games with Fixed limits, Pot limit or No limit. Make sure you check carefully to the poker room that you enter. You must be aware of betting restrictions because fixed limit is a very different game than no limit Texas holdem.

One of the cool features at PokerView is the option for players to play in Webcam poker tables. This brings an interesting aspect into the online poker game. I don’t really see it taking off, but it is interesting none the less. I also don’t really think I want to see most online poker players just knowing how I usually look when I’m playing online.

PokerView Poker Bonus

Did you know that you can get free bonus money when you sign up and make a deposit at PokerView? It’s true! All you have to do is use this PokerView bonus code when you make your first deposit at the site. You can get a 150% bonus up to $750 when you use the code POKERVIEWBONUS.

In order to receive the full bonus amount, you would be required to deposit $500. However, you can make a deposit as little as $50 to receive this bonus. In this case, you would be eligible to receive $75 for free.

This is a traditional poker bonus, meaning that you don’t receive the money upfront. You must earn the bonus in stages by playing at the cash tables and poker tournaments. This bonus will be released to you in 20 portions. The bonus is released $30 at a time.

In order to receive $30, you will need to earn 3,000 poker points. If you play in a ring game, you will earn 10 points for every $1 contributed in rake.

If you play poker a lot, you may want to check out PokerView’s rakeback options. You can get up to 35% cash back daily! This will help the active poker players earn the extra money that they need to keep their bankroll going strong.

If you do not know when to properly call, raise, or fold, you will quickly lose money playing Texas Hold Em. Calling, raising, and folding are simple requirements of the game that all Texas Hold Em players must understand.

Calling, sometimes also called checking, occurs in Texas Hold Em when a player wants to match the bet made by their opponent. They do not want to raise the stakes of the game; they simply want to match the current bet.  During the pre-flop bet, if you have an ace and king, ace and queen, king and queen, or a pair in anything you should call. After the flop, if you have any of the card combinations already mentioned or just a single ace you should call.

A raise in Texas Hold Em means that a player wants to match the current bet and raise it to a higher bet, either because the player has a very good hand or because the player is aggressively bluffing. When a player raises, all of the players who bet after the player that raised the bet are required to raise or fold. If you have two aces, two kings, or an ace and king during the pre-flop bet you should always raise.

If a person does not believe that their hand has a chance of winning the pot, they should fold, which means ending the hand. When you fold you give up the money that you already put into the pot, but you do not risk losing any more money. Do not fall into the trap of continuing to raise or call in order to protect the money you already put into the pot. Once you put the money into the pot, it is “money spent with a chance of winning it back.” Do not lose more money trying to defend money that’s not yours. Never be afraid to cut your losses – folding is part of playing Texas Hold Em. After folding, sit back and watch the other players as they play their hand. Try to learn all of your opponents’ poker tells!

If you are the first player to play after the flop, it is usually a good idea to call. This works with both a weak and strong hand. If you have a weak hand, you can see if the turn will improve your hand at all without having to raise your bet. Remember that if the player before you raises, you will have to raise or fold. Playing first after the flop is beneficial, so take advantage of it as much as possible. If you have a strong hand and you make this move, other players could be convinced that your hand is weaker than it actually is. This means the other players will call and you’ll win the pot if your hand is stronger than theirs.

Now that you understand how to call, raise, and fold you’re ready to start playing poker. Head on over to www.pokerstars.co.uk  and start playing Texas Hold Em today!

This past Friday, Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars players in the United States found out that they can no longer play on these poker networks for real money. The decision was made after the USA government came down with indictments against several of the top executives and bankers of these online poker sites, along with Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet.

The .com domain names were seized by the Feds and a reminder was left to online poker players in America that what these poker sites were doing was a crime.

So what did they do wrong? From the charges that the United States government has levied against the men accused, none of the crimes mentioned directly said that online poker was illegal. What PokerStars and Full Tilt did wrong was intentionally misidentified the transactions when a player deposited money into their account. This lead to the bank fraud and money laundering charges that were issued.

Is Online Poker Legal?

So is online poker illegal in the United States? Yes … I mean no … I mean (shrugging shoulders). Washington D.C. just past a law for the district that online poker is legal within the District of Columbia. So that means we’re ok, right?

It would appear that the act of playing poker online for money is not illegal. The only thing that is illegal is misidentifying the process of accepting deposits. Telling someone that they received $100 worth of Golf balls when they deposited that money into a poker account is illegal and constitutes the laws broken by PokerStars and Full Tilt.

All online poker sites that accepted U.S. customers were assuming the same thing. The Internet gambling bill introduced in 2006 does not apply because “Internet Gambling” constitutes a game of chance. This is any bet that isn’t within your control whether you win or lose. That includes sports betting and any game where the “House” sets up the rules and controls the game. These poker sites contend that poker is a game of skill because there is no house. These sites only host the poker rooms where players compete against each other.

Playing Online Poker in the US Moving Forward

So in theory, if you do not lie about how you get the money into the players account, the online poker site can continue business as normal. This can be most easily seen in the case of Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet. These two poker sites still allow there US players to play with their current bankrolls; but they specifically will not accept deposits or withdrawals.

That means if you had money in your Absolute or UB account, you can still sign up at a table and play online poker for real money.

So is there a legitimate way to deposit money to play poker online in the US?

I don’t really know the answer to that question. It’s kind of fuzzy and ambiguous. The poker sites that are still catering to players from the States do not allow you to use a credit card to deposit money. This seems to be clearly illegal as you can not even buy a lottery ticket at a store with a credit card.

But there is a new invention called an e-check which directly links to your bank account and is kind of like the reverse of a direct deposit. This allows online poker companies to accept deposits without lying about the transactions. This is still a gray subject but the online poker player really isn’t taking the risk.

The risk is being taken by the poker sites that accept U.S. poker players based upon the ambiguity of the current laws. None of these laws specifically state that online poker is illegal, and that is where these poker sites still up have room to maneuver. The Feds were careful not to mention that it was the online poker that they were targeting in this case. The language of the law specifically states that the crimes are bank fraud and money laundering.

Where can I still play poker online?

A recent study has shown that the online poker rooms have been sparsely populated after the big windfall on Friday. The top online poker sites that still allow US players have an average of between 300 and 1000 real money players. A lot of these sites are part of a poker network. When the poker sites share a network, the number of real money players at a given site will be a percentage of the amount playing on the network.

Whether this number will increase dramatically in the following weeks and months is unclear. Many casual online poker players will simply be afraid to play because of the lovely government seizure notice that has been placed on the former homepages of pokerstars.com and fulltiltpoker.com.

But no matter what laws you enact to stop people from doing something (fairly or unfairly), people will continue to do the activities they enjoy. That is why I will present you with a couple of options for US poker players:

Bovada Poker – click here for more information.
Carbon Poker – click here for more information.
Doyles Room – click here for more information.
