www.pkr.com - When it comes to the best poker rooms on the net, there are several aspects of these sites that make them successful I feel. The following points are certainly important ones in this regard. First and foremost in the players eyes, is that their chosen site behaves flawlessly in terms of security and the random dealing of the cards.

Almost all sites are excellent in this regard as they all know that it is in their interests to be so. Another important point is that customers on site feel well looked after in terms of help and support. All sites will offer some sort of support, but as a player, I prefer to see live chat options avilable in order to get problems solved immediately. Also having this help on offer 24/7 is a good thing too.

In terms of graphics, this is something which will not affect the outcome of your finances whilst you play, but what good graphics does do, is give you a real feel of professionalism and enjoyment while you play.
Promotions should cater for the needs of both the bigger bankrolls, and the more casual players. Although sites may make more money from the bigger money player, the casual players are more numerous, and so it is important make them feel well looked after too.

Good gauranteed prize pools, variations in the type of game, and tournament are helpful too of course, and sites who persevere with all these aspects are in my opinion, the most likely to succeed.

pkr.com – The phrase ‘pot commited’ basically means that you have put enough into the pot, that you cannot fold if you have a hand which still has a slight chance to win. In some ways I can agree with this sentiment, because there comes a point where a pot is too large for you to let go of your hand without a showdown, in case your opponent is bluffing.

If you would be left with hardly any chips if you folded, and you feel it impossible you could double up enough as many times as it takes to get you back to the chip average, perhaps it is right to call.

I want to believe the maths behind this, and that if I only feel there is a 10% chance in my mind that I am in front in a huge pot, I should call a small raise for the rest of my chips. But the fact is that I cannot. The fact remains that I shouldn’t get myself in that ‘pot commited’ instance anyway. But if I am at that point, I have been known to defy the maths of the situation and fold, because I feel we should trust our judgment over what maths tells us every time in poker.

So my answer to the question of ‘at what point are we pot commited?’ is technically, never. If we are that sure that we are beaten, we should never throw the last few chips in ‘on the off chance’ that we might be in front. That part of our mind is the over optimistic nature of our minds that causes gamblers to stand at roulette wheels, or play blackjack against the house. We know the odds are against us, but we go against our logic regardless….Just in case.

When I talk about the assumptions people make about nl poker, I talk about those unfamiliar to the game, not those who play the game such as you or I.

My understanding is that many people who have never played the game attach to it in their minds, a sense of unfair play and dangerously high stakes. Perhaps in the distant history of the game this was true of poker, as many men would go broke, or attempt to cheat whilst playing the game. The same is not true however, of poker today. It is conducted fairly and played for many different stakes, from one or two cents right up to the larger stake games, and it is entirely at the discretion of the players involved how much they wish to wager in a game.

I personally know people who attach this ill feeling to the game of poker, but I do not think this will last. The fact that poker has become enjoyed and understood better, by so many people in recent years, would certainly support the view that assumptions about the game will gradually change, and I hope this is the case.

Older generations are probably more inclined to hold this misguided interpretation of the game than younger people, but nevertheless, the sentiment is still there, and the growth of the game as a whole will aid this change. Alongside this, the televised tournaments that are shown will continue to show that the game is in the modern day, conducted with the utmost sportsmanship and gentlmanly behaviour, perhaps more so than many sports which are accepted and played by millions of people worldwide.
