There’s no stopping the growth of online poker as it becomes more and more popular, just like Premier League champions Chelsea since the influx of cash from Russian chairman Roman Abramovich and the success that has followed. If you’re a good poker player then success is something you can experience yourself, but if you’re less worried about winning and just want to enjoy yourself then free online poker will be perfect for you.
If you’re new to poker and will need a few hands to get the hang of Texas Hold’em then you’ll want to take advantage of the five freerolls that are available every day on the Sky Poker website so that you don’t find yourself out of pocket when you’ve only just started. Experienced players can make use of the handful of freerolls as well and get plenty of practice in as poker is a game where you can never stop learning.
If you are a new player to the card game of poker the welcome bonus of up to £1,000 will give you any encouragement you need to register online right away. You can get playing in a matter of minutes after a couple of clicks of your mouse. You don’t even need to download any software and you can be safe in the knowledge that the Sky Poker website is fully licensed and regulated, so the only way you can lose your money is if you lose a run of games of poker.
Once you’ve signed up you will face the decision of what poker games you want to play. The cash series of games that take place on Saturday night are pretty popular. They might well prove to be the perfect place for you to turn a bad day into a good one if you’ve been to the footy in the afternoon and seen your team be well and truly out-played. On the other hand if you’re looking to bask in the glory of a comprehensive victory, you can play a couple of games of poker online while you wait for the highlights of the footy to come on the box.
These games are played on cash tables; with cash games being one of the types of poker you can play online. You can also play sit and go games and tournaments, with the latter seeing hundreds of people entering and there being just one winner. If you’re lucky and have the skill to out-play opponents then you could be that winner and if you are you’ll win yourself a tidy sum of cash.
Whether you play a majority of cash, sit and go games or tournaments, you can see just how well you’re faring compared to fellow players in the poker league. The monthly league rewards the best players, so if you’re the next Neil Channing you’ll be sitting pretty at the top of the table. You can even see exactly where you’ve won your points over the course of the month and who your rivals are for the monthly prize.
Playing poker online is as much about having fun as it is about winning and in the Sky Poker Forum you can chat to fellow poker players. You can chat about absolutely anything, whether that’s an upcoming footy match and how the team you support is going to wipe the floor with their rivals, or how well you’ve been doing on the poker tables recently.
Thanks to poker websites you no longer have to go to the trouble of organising a night of poker with your mates. Instead, now you can just head online to play a couple of hands of Texas Hold’em whenever you want. So you can fit some poker in around your busy schedule of watching the footy at the pub or in your front room and if you’re lucky, match your team’s victory with success of your own.
