How to Play Online Poker
If you're playing from your home computer or laptop, the first step is to download the online poker software from the site of your choice. The overall demand on your memory is quite small and it shouldn’t take very long to download on even the most archaic Internet connections. If you'd prefer not to download anything you can also try the no download poker games at any poker site, although they don't provide quite the same features and playability as the full download version.
If you've gone the download route, once the installer package has been downloaded just double click it to install the software. At this point you’ll have to create a user account (on some sites it’s done before you download the software). You must be at least 18 years old or the minimum legal age in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher. There will be age checks so don’t expect to get past them if you are under age.
Depositing money on an online poker site usually requires a credit card or some sort of prepaid card but there are some exceptions. Most sites accept major credit companies such as Visa or MasterCard or any of the most popular online eWallets including Neteller, Skrill and PayPal.

What Types of Poker Games Can I Play Online?
Texas Hold'em is king. There are numerous poker variations you can play online but not all sites will offer all variations. Universally, the most popular poker game across all poker sites is No-Limit Texas Hold’em, which famed poker legend Doyle Brunson has called “The Cadillac of Poker.” Thousands of no-limit hold'em games run online 24/7 at all sorts of stake levels. In No-Limit Hold’em you are only given two cards and you try to combine them with five community cards to make the best possibly hand. Hold’em is simple to learn but very difficult to master making it a great intro to the world of poker.

Online Poker Tournaments
Poker tournaments are wildly popular both live and online thanks to tours like the TV exposure of the World Series of Poker, World Poker Tour and European Poker Tour. In tournament poker you pay your buy-in and get a stack of chips. The moment you have no more chips, you're out of the tournament. The eventual winner is the player who collects all the chips. Online poker tournaments are the cheapest way to potentially win big money. There are several $10 buy-in online tournaments, for example, that have awarded over $200,000 for first place. With bigger buy-ins the prize escalate even higher.
