Learn Poker 3

The recent explosion of online poker has seen poker companies listing on the stock exchange and everybody trying to get a piece of the action. You'll find now hundreds of poker sites on the internet to choose from but by the end of the day they all offer exactly the same thing - the chance to gamble several of our money against faceless opponents, sitting miles away in certain other a division of the globe. In our underwear if we so wish.

The adrenalin rush of sweating it out on the turn of a card with a small fortune at stake is now reachable without needing to leave the house. We do not have to travel, go out into the cold, worry about dress code or possibly a taxi home. We can play any time of the day or night - there is no closing time. We aren't required to miss Corry or Enders. As long as there is money in our poker account we can play till our hearts content.

But that is the problem is not it - how do we keep money in our account. The very first few times of playing we are feeling our way in, learning the rules. But it appears so fast and furious. We're always being told to hurry up by the computer - "Hang on I am thinking! He's probably got an ace but I am really not sure. Give me a second to think! Oh I fold then."

But as time goes on, and we begin to be worried about how many Neteller transfers we appear to be making, we gradually get the hang of it. We win a couple of hands; we start to work out our opponents; we actually come off a table in profit!

We up our stakes, we start playing gambling (visit the up coming internet page) the bigger tables - no limit even. We enter a tourney or two - even get to the final table. Can not quite win even though. But we're not feed for the sharks any more. We have not made a deposit for days now and we are still playing!

But this is all determined by winning - at least now and then. Poker is all well and good as we win, but whenever we have to keep clicking that 'Deposit Funds' button it becomes rather tiresome. If only there was some way to guarantee that funds are deposited into our account without the credit-card taking the hit.

Well actually there is and it's amazing how lots of people are currently playing poker (right at this very second even) who do not know about Rakeback. It appears to be a little known idea that many of the poker companies, who are desperately vying for our business, actually offer money back just for playing.

Well it's period to spread the good news.

The profit that the poker companies make is called 'The Rake'. They take a share of the pot of every game that is played. We don't even notice it's gone. But it builds up into quite just a little pile of profit for said company. The term Rakeback actually comes from the method employed in casinos where the dealer would use his chip rake to drag several chips into a bucket...only to cover their costs. And make the odd million.

Online poker companies do the same thing, albeit electronically. And as an incentive for us to sign up with their site, they offer referral incentives, in the type of Rakeback, through various online Rakeback sites. This is just what it says on the tin - we get a bit of 'The Rake' given back to us. Thus, for each and every hand that we play, the poker site takes their share and gives us just a little back throughout the affiliated Rakeback site. If you play enough poker this will likely add up to a tidy little sum and come the end of the month, our poker account receives a nice little injection of cash.

It will not matter whether we've won or lost - we have played. And that's all we need to do to get our Rakeback. If we play enough it can fund our poker for the entire month. We can even lose and still not be out of pocket. Imagine that.
