Online Poker Tools will help improve your play. Online Poker Cheats may improve your play. Online Poker Tools are legal to use at Online Poker Rooms. Online Poker Cheats are illegal and when detected your account will be closed, your money seized.

Online Poker Tools defined

An Online Poker Tool is any device that a player uses to assist or help play Online Poker. Online Poker Tools conform to the Terms and Conditions of the Online Poker Room. Technically, a pad and calculator could be an Online Poker Tool. Most Poker Tools are software that is used before, during, or after play.

Online Poker Cheats described

Generally speaking, an Online Poker Cheat is any Software/Program that when utilized, breaches the Terms and Conditions of your Online Poker Room. Most reputable Poker Rooms' Terms and Conditions provide a description of banned practice, as well as a citation of specifically banned software. Online Poker Robots are a subset of Online Poker Cheats.

Where is the Cheating Line?

Where is the cheating line between Online Poker Tools and Online Poker Cheats? The line exists where your Online Poker Room sets it. Although Cheat creators like to argue about it – for better or worse – the Poker Room holds all the chips on this issue (pardon the pun). When you initiate an account with a Poker Room, you agree to their terms and conditions. What they call a cheat, is by default a cheat.

Cheats tend to fester in three areas – data mining, card prediction, and automated play.

Data mining – is where a Software/Program assimilates historical information for use during or after play. In general, it is okay to use information saved from hands you've played in. For hands that you haven't played in, the use of Cheats to gather historical information is illegal. The process of repetitive data mining is done by Robots.

Card prediction – some programs insist they have broken the code on the random number generators used by Poker Rooms. Statistically speaking, this is unlikely. These Programs are illegal.

Automated play – any Program that takes the player out of the loop of play (where the program plays a complete hand without a player click) is illegal. Automated players are often called Robots.

How Prevalent are Online Poker Tools and Online Poker Cheats?

Any guessing on the prevalence of Tools or Cheats can at best be described as a ballpark guess.

Online Poker Tools are growing at a rapid rate, and because of their legality, their growth is unchecked. It is estimated that 17% of Online Poker Players use Online Poker Tools.

Online Poker Cheats exist in a fast moving battle zone. The battle zone exists between their Creators and the Poker Rooms. Once a Cheat achieves popularity, Poker Rooms respond and install counter measures. It may be estimated that less then 1% of Players are attempting to use Online Poker Cheats.

Conclusions

The Online Poker Player has many options available to improve their play. These options include Online Poker Tools and Online Poker Cheats. The decision of Tools or Cheats is not too dissimilar then the choice that athletes have to improve their game – Vitamins or Steroids? For most of us who play to improve their games, for leisure and fun – Online Poker Tools adequately fit the bill! Of course there are those few out there that will continually explore the shadows for a 'perceived' temporary edge. For those few, Online Poker Cheats come and go.

Next Article – Online Poker Tools, what can and can't they do?

Some of the main hubs of poker are also the most sexualized cities in the United States, name New Orleans and then later Las Vegas. These cities are absolutely oozing with sex, and although this paper is not trying to make a moralistic argument decrying these wild cities' lifestyles, much of these images have stuck to the game of poker itself. Perhaps this phenomenon would not be so bad if it played out evenly between the two sexes, but all one sees is the portrayal of partially disrobed women advertising for poker sites. One only needs to log onto the internet and search for “Women and Poker” to have a dozen women in bikinis immediately pop up on the screen.

In fact, yours truly actually did run a search specifically for “Women and Poker”, and here are some of the surprising results. In no particular order we present 10 of the most tasteful poker sites on the web:

-Pokerium Online Poker Room and Casino: The front page of this website is a model of good taste and restraint. Many of the searches yielded interesting results, but this website was head and shoulders ahead. Upon opening the home page one finds an illustration of a scantily clad brown-haired vixen with a flower in her hair(no real women were harmed during the production of this design). The interesting part of this drawing is that she is placed inside of a huge Ace of Clubs. In the middle of the card, where the woman is located, lies a very large club, and the stem of said club just happens to terminate in the center of the woman's crotch. Although there is a possibility that this not-so-subtle innuendo was unintentional, we would not bet on it.

-Next on our list is the deliciously tasteful advertisement on hollywoodpoker.com for their “Babes & Bounties” tournament. To begin with, the title itself should be enough to ruffle the feathers of most women poker players. Then, the image used on the page is of a woman in a bikini top with money in the background behind her. And finally, for those players who aren't sold by the picture in the middle, the site claims that “12 of the sexiest poker hostesses in the game” will be present at the table. It's a good thing too, because most serious poker players refuse to play in tournaments with any less than 8 sexy poker hostesses. Finally, jus tto make sure that one can notice all the different features on the side, there is a picture of a woman on the left-hand side of the screen dressed in her rather unsupportive underwear lying down in front of a laptop with poker chips lying around her body. She is happily wearing a pair of flattering white high heeled shoes so that she can model at any moment during her poker game. A truly classy website.

-PokerWorld.com, an up and coming online card room, is another tastefully crafted website, with nothing to offend save for their new “Topless Bonus”. The “Topless Bonus: The Shape of Things to Come” seems a stretch: with this promotion they will “top up” your account with a free 20% bonus. The stingy bonus does not only fall way short of the 200% bonuses floating around on various sites, it also offends the eye. They advertise it with a small silhouette of a woman, hardly exposing anything whatsoever. Why they chose to try and correlate a 20% with topless women is a mystery, but they surely went for it.

-Not to be outdone, Jungle Poker has its own female spokeswoman: none other than the lovely Cheynelle Fraser, a bartender/model who is now the official face of Jungle Poker. Why a poker site would need a sizzling hot model as a spokeswoman is a grand mystery. We suspect it is because the photos of Cheynelle – which include several excellent cleavage shots – surely have everything to do with poker and nothing with selling sexuality. Although the site may be using the good looks of beautiful Cheynelle to help promote their site, they are not just about T & A on their site: on the front page of the site they have an advertisement for their heads up Sit & Go tournaments, featuring two headshots of a man and a woman, both fully dressed, challenging each other to a card game. Hurray for equality!

-Europeans are no exception when it comes to using alluring images of the female form to help them sell their products. In a recent article published on poker.gamble.co.uk, the author writes about the upcoming Great British Poker Tour, and the centerpiece image of this article is a nude woman relaxing in a bathtub full of poker chips. It's a good thing that they posted this picture, because nothing says Great British Poker Tour better than a woman bathing nude in poker chips.

-The most morbid result found during the search came from best-poker-rakeback.net on their rakeback advertisement, which features a frightening illustration of zombie woman in a corset, fishnet stockings, heels, and a short skirt using a rake to gather up some playing cards that must have fallen off a tree. Although the idea of having somebody literally raking poker cards is cute, we're not sure about the need for a sexy undead woman.

-Gambling blog Oddjack paid homage to the women of poker in an article titled “Top 10 Sexiest Women of Poker”. This enlightening four part series takes the readers through their list of what they view as the sexiest women in the poker world. Just to give a small taste of their depictions of these women, we will go over the first three women they talk about. Each woman has a picture with a caption beneath it. At number ten on their list is Courtney Friel, a television hostess for the world poker tour. The picture they have of her is in a lacy tank top: fair enough. She's obviously OK with the picture considering she modeled for it. Underneath the picure is a caption that says “Stop teasing us Courtney, tear those laces off!”

The next featured profile is that of Evelyn Ng. Underneath her picture they put a quote that says, “Evelyn sure is one sweet ride…” Sadly, they did not even try to be creative with this comment, the only possible connotation for this remark is a sexual one. They also remarked in her profile that she won the WPT Ladies Night event and that, “Yup, she kicked ass. Asses that belong to Annie Duke and Kathy Liebert. Asses I don't wanna see anytime soon. No matter how much they pay me to.” This hilarious joke about the physical assets of two of poker's greatest female players was insulting to say the least.

At number 8 on their list is none other than Lily Elviro. This strong poker player who, besides being a strong poker player, is physically well endowed as well. The picture which they used for her was taken during a poker tournament she played in and shows her at the table holding a pair of cards. She is leaning forward a little showing a fair portion of her not so small breasts. Unable to resist, the comment beneath the photo says, “It's hard for Lily to always carry a heavy set of puppies like that.” If it wasn't for such brilliant writing most of us would completely miss out on such hard to miss features.

-Next on our list is an article written by Toby Bochan on her poker blog. This photo-article, featured on about.com, is titled “The hottest women of poker”, and it is essentially an amateur photo gallery of professional femal poker players. The women featured in this article are Evelyn Ng, Shannon Elizabeth, Clonie Gowen, Jennifer Tilly, Liz Lieu, Vanessa Rousso, Isabelle Mercier, Cyndy Violette, Jennifer Harman, Annie Duke, Kristy Gazes, Chantel McNutty, and Jennefer “Jennicide” Leigh. Perhaps the most disturbing part about this gallery is not that these women have their pictures posted, but that none of the pictures were studio pictures. They all seem like photos that were taken in a clandestine manner on a digital camera. Does this strike anybody as creepy?

-Coming last on our list is none other than Full Tilt Poker, who recently issued a challenge between Paris Hilton and Clonie Gowen. Their hearts were definitely in the right place: they were to host a heads-up challenge between the two women and the winner would take the $100,000 prize and donate it to the charity of her choice. This sounds good, so why does this make our trash list? Well, if you go to the website, the page they created for this challenge has these two women stacked up next to each other. The title for their statistics is called their “Sexy Stats”, and just to make sure that the best poker player wins, they even added a “Who is sexier?” poll at the bottom of the page.

Thus concludes our trashy website list (NEED TO THINK OF A WAY TO PITCH THIS ARTICLE). Part IV will conclude “Women and Poker” by addressing what the future of women and poker may hold.

Want to spend all day playing poker but bring home money like you were at work? I know what you're thinking, SCAM right? Not true! Casinos teach dealers to be absolutely the best at their game, so when you play the house you get smoked and walk home broke. The same applies to some of the players in online poker. Some of them are dealers and professional gamblers, and they all know how to run the table. Why not even the playing field and give yourself the advantage you are looking for?

Online Poker Bot is the answer you are looking for to getting your money back from the grubbing hands of dealers and professionals!

Because the actions taken by the poker bot occur at random intervals, the online poker match administrators will never know that a human is not playing. It's safe and secure, so there are no worries!

In fact, you can use Online Poker Bot to create several different profiles based on your unique playing styles! And, these profiles can be triggered during bot auto-play based on the number of players, game type, number of hands played and length of time played. The large number of features allows Online Poker Bot to give users the freedom to tailor their experience while always appearing like a human to online opponents.

So there you have it – Online Poker Bot can be your ticket to hot, profitable poker matches.

Playing poker is a wonderful hobby and an engaging form of entertainment. Although many times in the past you may have found that you wanted to play poker but were not close enough to a casino to just hop in your car and run on in to take a seat at the poker table. This is where online poker gaming comes into the picture. Online poker is an increasingly popular way of playing poker from within the confines and comfort of your own home. As you are able to play many different types of poker games at casino establishments, online poker websites also make this type of variety with regard to poker games available to its poker players. Playing poker online via an online poker website is different in a few ways from playing in a physical casino environment. It is important to focus on those differences thereby enabling yourself to make the decision of whether or not playing poker card games online is the right option for you.

One way in which playing poker online and playing poker within a casino differs, relates to the betting limits which are imposed on the poker players. When playing poker online by way of an online poker website, the online poker player may not be required to put up as much money for an ante as the poker player that is playing this type of card game within the casino limits. This is one of the many advantages of playing poker in an online setting. Many individuals just want to play poker for fun or to make a little spending cash perhaps and are wary of risking large amounts of money in the process. The various online poker websites will allow the prospective online poker player to bet smaller amounts of money than the casinos will at times. This is an attractive feature of the online poker websites. If you are looking to spend small amounts of money, this might be the type of gaming situation for you. If money is no object, then maybe you will prefer to go to a physical casino. However, keep in mind that certain online poker websites will host higher betting limits.

Another way in which playing poker on an online poker website differs from the casino atmosphere is the lack of other players in your physical vicinity. Casinos can make a person become a bit claustrophobic after awhile and if you are the type of individual that likes his or her own space, then online poker gambling on a poker gaming website might just be the answer. When you are playing poker online you are playing against other individuals; however, the upside to this is that you are not crowded in a small, stuffy area with those other players breathing down your neck, trying to get you to hurry up and make a move. Not only can this type of player behavior on the part of your peers be obnoxious but it can also make you decide to play in a way which you would not have done had you been given the time and space to think the move through. This is a definite plus to playing poker online as opposed to in a casino. If you are keen on the idea as well, then again, maybe online poker playing is your cup of tea.

A third way in which an online poker website may be right for you is if you enjoy excitement and would like to play more than one game at one time. By playing the poker game in an online setting, you are able to play more than one game at one time. This is not possible in a physical casino setting since the only way an individual could be playing at more than one table at one time would be if that person had really long arms, which is highly unlikely. Therefore, by utilizing online poker websites you are able to play two or three games at once. The choice is up to you. If you have the concentration skills to pull this off, then this would be another attractive detail that might pull you into playing in an online poker game setting.

A final way in which playing poker games via an online poker website might be right for you is if you want the convenience of not having to leave your home in order to enjoy some gaming entertainment. Online poker websites are extremely convenient for a number of reasons. First of all, you do not have to drive anywhere in order to play poker. You simply log on to the internet via your internet provider, connect with a specific online poker website and get down to business. A second reason why online poker websites are extremely convenient is that they allow you to jump right into a game without ever having to wait for a seat to open up. Lastly, online poker websites are extremely convenient options for the avid poker player in that they enable you to pay money and collect money via a few quick touches of the keypad. Payment systems companies that act as a go between from online poker player to online poker website enable money to be transmitted quickly and efficiently from online poker player to online poker website thereby ensuring that either or both individual(s) are paid in a swift manner.

Online poker websites are a wonderful alternative to the casino businesses of the past. Not to say that casinos are out of date, this is just to provide an alternative to poker players that may be interested in checking out this different type of gaming avenue. If any of the aforementioned items seem of great interest to you, then maybe online poker playing is something that you should take a look at. It never hurts to give it a try. It may just be something that you are happy to have discovered and will change your impression of gambling forever.

When it comes to playing poker online you are probably amazed at how many online poker websites really exist and don't know which one is the best one for you to play regarding payout, bonuses, game selection, and the like. However, don't worry because I am going to provide you with some of the most popular online poker websites. Then, you can check them out and see which ones you like the best.

This Real Poker Training review focuses on a relatively new online poker training site which provides poker lessons through the use of video and audio feeds of pro players literally 'doing their thing'. Relying heavily on the allure and credentials of pro players David Williams and Todd Arnold, the site boasts a revolutionary way to improve our game at break-neck speeds. Real Poker Training sounds good so far right? Is it the best poker training site?

Before we take a look in more detail, I just want to let you know that at the end of this review I'll be providing you with the links to some sample video's provided by Real Poker Training. I strongly recommend checking these out. Whilst this review will give you more insight into the services offered by RPT, watching the actual video's is one of the best ways to decide whether you like the 'feel' of the coaching that the site provides.

What's It All About?

Most of us understand the premise of online poker training sites like Real Poker Training, but for those new to the concept, RPT provides new to advanced players alike the unique opportunity to literally watch over the shoulder of profitable poker players as they guide us through not only each stage of play, but explanations of why they act the way they do in each hand. It's not just the instructional element of this type of poker training that is attractive, it's the prospect of being exposed to and coming to understand the very thought processes of winning players. At the end of this review you'll find some poker training videos and I encourage you to take a look at them to get a real glimpse of how powerful this type of poker training can be.

Look at it this way. Remember learning to tie your shoe as a kid? Our parents did it for us two or twelve times (depending on how slow we were on the uptake), then encouraged us to do it ourselves. Not only can we now all tie our shoes, the process barely requires any thought processing at all. Amazingly, poker can be the same way. That's not to say it won't require thought, obviously it will. But there's a vast benefit to be had in developing our knowledge of correct situational plays to the point that what we had previously thought of as advanced poker theory becomes more instinctive.

I bit the bullet on this one and have been immediately impressed by the content available to members on the Real Poker Training Site. A word to the wise…or should I say newbies. Right from the get go, it's clear Real Poker Training delves into intermediate to advanced theory and is specifically designed to lift average players to advanced levels, with a view to attaining a corresponding increase in player stakes. New players can still vastly increase the speed at which they can progress their game by becomming a member, but will benefit from taking the time to check out the Texas Holdem 101 section and partaking in some low stakes playing time at any of the popular online poker rooms to find their feet. I'd encourage those players to get some practical experience to really get the most out of an investment into such a dynamic poker training site as this.

However, for those who have hit a rut with their game, or are looking to seriously take their play to the next level, Real Poker Training is a must.

What Can We Find Inside Real Poker Training?

There's already 100+ video's in the members area and this comprises only a small part of the content and training available. There's a heavy focus on tournament play, but that's not to say that the site isn't well rounded, with a healthy focus on ring games and variants. Todd Arnold, who crushes Paradise Poker under the moniker 'NSXT2′ brings a lot to the table in terms of lending some insight into his vast multi-table tournament experience, and will prove invaluable to players looking to make deeper runs and larger cashes ieven with sizeable playing fields.

As with most online poker training sites, in addition to poker training videos Real Poker Training includes articles, blogs, and a members forum where we can chew the fat with other aspriing and successful players. Don't underestimate the value in taking a deep bite of community knowledge. Most members seem more than willing to help rather than hinder.

One of the major drawcards for Real Poker Training though is the interactive approach the pro's take to the members. Their involved in the forum, regularly answer questions and queries, and will actually provide breakdowns and analysis of players hand histories. Imagine the benefit of having a pro telling you exactly how you should have played a hand, or why what you did was right at the time. Very spiffy!

The video's do broach various stake limits and so seek to cater to the variation in playing style and ability between say a $1 MTT on PokerStars to playing a $10/20 ring game at bodog. The site could benefit from more cash game video's, although I understand they are looking to plug that gap. If the site continues to add to the arsenal with a fair share of attention being given to low and intermediate stakes as well as higher limits, Real Poker Training will continue to cater to players across the board.

Play Like A Pro…Even If You Ain't

As we can reasonably expect, the video and audio material showing the pro's playing actual tables in a range of situations and providing their due thought process at each twist and turn. It's not just poker theory. We also get valuable insights on the other players at the table and how to recognise styles of play…to then dominate them.

Progressing from reading poker theory and being shown how to apply it is something of a quantum leap. You can read all about positional play but it might not click until you see someone three betting a player off top pair top kicker with nothing but air. It's this sort of practical knowledge that puts online poker training sites like this one so ahead of the curve.

Game Variations

Lovers of Omaha, Draw and Stud will be pleased to learn that these are covered in addition to the ever popular texas holdem. As previously mentioned, tournaments recieve heavy scrutiny and include heads up, freeze outs, re-buys, sit n go, satellites…pretty much everything you can play.

The Pro's

Todd Arnold isn't the only pro giving a leg up to the next generation of pot crushers. Other main pro's include:

Chad “lilholdem954″ Batista

Chris “Fox” Wallace

David “Seal” Eisenstein

Ryan “gotskillz?” Fisler and others.

What's It Gunna Cost Me?

The cost is currently $24.95 although Real Poker Training appear to have been trying to find their price point over the last several months with some changes. You can lock it in for an even lower $12.48 per month if paying a year in advance.

The Skinny

There's a maxim which, when applied to poker, goes something like this:

'there are things in poker that you don't know…and then there are things which you don't know that you don't know'.

In laymans terms…I didn't realize just how crap I was at poker until I started frequenting sites exactly like Real Poker Training. I came to realize there were not only 'gaps' in my game but huge gaping crevices where even the core body of knowledge was lacking. I just wasn't thinking on the wavelength I needed to in order to progress my skill set.

If you're even considering getting online poker lessons, Real Poker Training offers a solid basis to do it from.
