What to Play, Online Poker

Now, you've made up your mind, you will play some internet poker. You need to pick a game to play. Only looking at Texas holdem, let's see what you have to choose from.

First there is the very popular multi table tournament. Here, you sit down with a group of players, maybe even thousands, and play until you lose all your chips or eliminate all other players. These can take hours to complete. The tournament lobby will tell you when tournaments will start.

A slight variation from the multi table event is the re buy/add on tournament. This plays exactly like the multi table tournaments except for the beginning. For a pre determined amount of time, typically one hour, the players can buy more chips any time they have an equal amount, or less, than the starting stack size. After this time ends, you have a choice to add on more chips one time with any stack that you have. Then it's back to the multi table rules.

I believe all poker rooms offer their players events called free rolls. These are nearly always multi table tournaments. They offer prizes, usually money. But, as the name implies, they are free!

Another very popular style is the satellite. In a satellite you are qualifying to play in a bigger tournament. Let's say you want to play in the WSOP Main Event. You don't have $10,000, but you are willing to risk $1,000, to try to win a seat. You can play in a $1,000 satellite to try. If forty people enter this event then exactly four seats to the Main Event will be awarded.

The Sit and Go format of tournaments is very popular. The main difference with Sit and Go events is that they begin when a designated number of players sit at the table. So, to play in a nine player Sit and Go you start when the ninth player sits down.

A combination is the multi table sit and go. Here we have at least two tables and as many as twenty. But, the tournament doesn't start until the designated amount of players have entered.

The most common form of poker is the cash game. There are three main cash game choices. No limit, pot limit and limit.

Heads up players are now offered heads up tournaments. Here, rounds of heads up matches are played with half the field being eliminated after each round. This continues until only one player is left.

If texas holdem isn't your game here are a few of the other games offered. Omaha, Omaha hi-lo, stud and five card draw.

That's a lot to choose from. Make sure you understand the rules of the game you chose. Nothing feels worse than making a mistake that costs you money because you didn't know what you were doing.
