An online poker room is the place where the players meet and play against each other. To download online poker rooms, you need to visit a poker website and click on the Download or Play Now button. A poker room contains many types of tables as: real money tables, fun money tables (virtual money), tournament tables and Sit and Go tables. After you have registered you can choose to sit down at any table you wish for. At the major poker rooms you can find thousands of players at the peak hours so you will not have any problems to choose your perfect table. You can choose your table by the game type you wish to play (Texas Holdem (Fixed Limit, No limit, Pot Limit), Omaha (Omaha Hi/Lo), Stud (7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo, Razz), 5 Card Draw, 2-7 Triple Draw, 2-7 Single Draw or Badugi), the stake or by the number of players found at a particular table.
Types of Online Poker Tables
Real Money Tables (Ring Games) – have a maximum number of players allowed to play together at one table (10, 6, 4 or 2). You can leave this kind of table whenever you like in any moment of the game. Don`t choose bigger stakes than you can afford because you can lose your entire bankroll.
Tournament Tables – have a maximum number of players, but unlike the Ring Games, the maximum number of players can reach tens of thousands. The special thing about the tournaments is that you can win outstanding cash prizes with a small buy-in (as $1). Try to play tournaments with a low buy-in in your first months of playing online poker, until you get more experienced.
Sit and Go Tables – you can join at the tables of the Sit & Go, which is a mini tournament, with a maximum number of players of 90 (some poker rooms have Sit and Gos with 180 players). Usually the first 3, 5 or 7 players will receive money.
