i play a lot, on various sites....

problem with the play money games is that there is no risk/reward....you can simply reload your play money of you lose. you can't do that with your bank account.

I have to recommend Bet365 not because I work for them of course but because they provide a first class service!.

I play online every day for money.

I would recommend www.paradisepoker.com . I've played on Ultimate and also on Red32 but paradise is very user friendly for the beginner. They have play money tables if u like but they also have the 2c blinds which can be a fun and inexpensive way of learning (no limit max $2 tables). Although the blinds are small you can still win (and lose!) $10 pots.

I've introduced 3 players there to PH and they are now members here too.

I'm currently using TruePoker (nice 3D graphics etc), and have the VC one installed, as if I do venture into real cash, they've got the cheapest tables with 2c blinds.

and yes I did click the ad at the top Ted

I play poker very regularly both online and casino.
online use pacificpoker.com very good and have a large variety of tables from small limit tables to very high no limit tournament tables.

I must just say its a lot easier to go "All In" online than it is to physically push all your chips into the middle of the table!

Good luck its great fun and Addictive but always be aware you should never gamble more than you can afford to loose.

I'll show you this evening

Best way to learn is to play really. You soon work out it out. I started here:

www.vcpoker.com/pokerschool/

and by watching some of the World Poker Tour on Challenge TV. I only started a few days ago and am $500 up on my starting pot

if anyone plays here on laddys, my minor claim to fame is that I actually live with Kunkuwap.

(If noone here does then this will make no sense at all)

How many varieties of poker are there?

I've never been a gambler but taken an interest in texas hold em as it's on TV a lot.
