Many reviews of online poker rooms aren't written by real poker players. In fact, many listings and rankings on the Internet for cardrooms are driven exclusively by a financial motivation. While this site does make money from advertising online cardrooms, I do not rank or review online poker websites based on how much money I'm making from them.

Online Poker Cardrooms The cardroom reviews here are written by a real poker player who has actually played at each particular website, and the reviews reflect my real opinion of the sites. This provides my website users with a better experience, and that will pay dividends far beyond what I could expect by "selling out".

Sometimes I will include an information or profile page for an online poker room where I haven't played. In those cases, I'll make it clear that I haven't played there, and I'm just providing information as a service to the readers.

Why Play Poker Online?

A better question might be, "why play poker offline?" Online poker offers all kinds of benefits and perks. Not only is it extremely convenient, but you can play virtually any poker game you've ever heard of online, at any time, day or night. And if you play at the larger, better-known cardrooms, you'll always be able to find plenty of action at the limits you're looking for.

If you're a good player who wins consistently, you can make more profit playing online just by virtue of playing more hands per hour. Not only do you get twice as many hands per hour via the computer, but you can double that amount by playing 2 tables at once. Some online poker professionals play 8 or 12 tables at a time.

Since online poker is anonymous, a lot of players are just learning. Maybe it's cruel, but players who are just learning are a profitable opportunity for a good poker player, and you can take advantage of this.
