If you are planning on visiting an online casino for online gambling, you need to be aware of the bonuses that are available. Many of these are not advertised right out in the open. Some of them are codes that need to be found when you click on a link. One you get the codes, you can then get the bonuses. There are bonuses available for all types of online gambling and some of them even add up to free money.

Not all casino bonuses require you to make a deposit in order to obtain a bonus. In some cases, you can get a bonus if you just get a promotional code for the site that has the free bonus code. This will allow you to play at the site for free. This is the best way for you to enjoy your online gambling experience, especially if you are just starting out. You can have all the fun that you want without having to worry about losing your own money when you take advantage of the bonuses. This is like having free money to play at the casino and enjoy yourself.

Many of the online bonuses for gambling are restricted to certain games, like poker. Before you choose the bonuses that you want, you should take a look at those that are available. Take a look at them, read the terms and conditions of the bonuses and also pick one that will work with the games that you want to play as well as at the casino where you want to play. In some cases, the larger bonuses may not be for you if you do not plan on playing the game that they are for. You should make sure that any bonus you do receive when you are playing at an online casino can be used for the game that you want to play.

It is easy to get bonuses and fun as well. You can feel a lot less stress and really get used to the hot online casino action in this way. Most people are a bit hesitant about online gambling the first time they play. This takes the edge off as you are playing with bonus money and not your own. It allows you to really get used to the casino and the games that are included. Even if you are totally new to online gambling and have never been to an online casino, you can use the bonuses to get used to the games and even find some new games that you may have always wanted to try but were not sure how to play. Many casinos have tutorials as well as low stakes games that you can test your luck on when you are playing.

Take a look at the many jackpot city bingo bonuses that are available for those who want to gamble online and choose one that will work for what you are looking for when it comes to your online casino games experience. You naturally want to choose the highest bonus that you can get for the best casino. You also want to take a look at the free money bonuses that will basically allow you to play for free at the casino. Be sure that any of the bonuses that you choose are for the games that you want to play and the wagering that you want to do when you are at an online casino.

2010 WSOP
It's that time of year. The time when the poker world turns it's eyes to the Mecca of gambling and the site of the annual World Series of Poker (WSOP)-Las Vegas. The first gold bracelet was won on Saturday read more

PartyPoker Can Make You a Lifer
Online poker giant
PartyPoker.com
has announced that it will award a lifetime World Series of Poker Main Event package to two players and that six more will win free entry to the event for 2010. read more

Being able to do that accurately isn’t easy. But you can do it if you’re alert
observant
disciplined and if you concentrate whenever you play (whether or not you’re involved in the pot). Using our advice and the advice of our expert collaborators
you’ll find that the “task” of unmasking your Online poker software faced poker opponents will become easier and easier.

When you’re able to put your opponent on exactly the hand he’s playing (because you know him almost as well as he knows himself) you can select the best strategy possible for that particular Online poker software situation. When you reach that level of skill
you’ll be a complete player.

That’s what Online poker software’s all about. People…and the strategy you use against them. More than any other poker game
Online poker software depends on your understanding your opponent. You’ve got to know what makes him tick. More importantly
you’ve got to know what makes him tick at the moment you’re involved in a pot with him. What’s his mood … his feeling? What’s his apparent psychological frame of mind right now? Is he in the Mood to gamble … or is he just sitting there waiting for the nuts? Is he a loser and on tilt (playing far below his normal capability) … or has he screwed down (despite his being loser) and begun playing his best possible poker game? Is he a cocky winner who’s now playing carelessly and throwing off most of his winnings…or is he a winner who’s started to play very tight so he can protect his gains?

When you can accurately answer questions like those (and there are many more like them) … and employ the other ideas
principles
rules
techniques and strategies We’ll teach you in this article you’ll be one super tough Online poker software player.

Put all of it together and your playing ability will border on being World Class. It takes a lot to play winning Online poker software at a World Class level because Online poker software is such a complex poker game more complex than any other poker game … or any other form of gambling.

For example
the difference between playing good Online poker software and playing good blackjack is as vast as the difference between squad tactics and grand strategy in warfare. You can beat a Blackjack poker game by knowing exactly what to do in every situation…and doing it. That’s tactics. But in Online poker software you may face an identical situation twice against the same opponent
handle it two different ways
and be right both times. That’s strategy.

And that’s why there’s never going to be a computer that will play World Class Online poker software. It’s a people poker game. A computer could be programmed to handle the extensive mathematics of a Online poker software poker game. But the psychological complexities are another matter. A system figured out by computer can beat Blackjack because there the dealer has no options. He has to stand on 17
he has to hit 16.

A computer could play fair to middling Online poker software. But no computer could ever stand face to face with a table full of people it had never met before
and make quality
high profit decisions based on psychology. To do that requires perception and judgment. It requires a human mind.

The way I accumulate knowledge of a p
articular player is by listening to him
and looking at him
instead of talking

VC Poker bonus no longer available

The long running free poker bonus from VC Poker has finally come to an end. Available since early 2007
this was one of the longest running free money promotions available directly from an online poker room. Unfortunately
as of September 2009 they have finished it
and VC Poker do not currently have any free money [...]

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 th
eir 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 l
ast 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.

Celebrity Poker To Raise Money For The Blind


Stars from film and TV help to raise money for the blind by playing poker. Read the full story at http://www.classicasinos.com/PokerNews/ns_02012009_126.html

Before starting to play the game
keep in mind these simple suggestions:*Inspect the site. Make sure that it is authentic.*Read the terms and conditions of the site. Check the maximum payouts and the minimum bets.*Allocate a budget for the day. That budget will determine how much you are willing to lose or to win in the game. Stick to the limit.

*Do not gamble if you can not afford to lose.

*Try to find sites that offer No deposit poker bonus or offer free poker money*Practice playing the game. Familiarize yourself with the game first before you play for real money.At the table
here are some warnings that you should always remember:*If you do make a big win
do not be greedy
stop. Making a big win and gambling it all over again is a big sign of greediness.*In poker
overall winnings are what count most. If you are losing
or have already lost your allotted money for the day
dont try to win your losses back. You won’t. Stop. Tomorrow is another day.*Drinking alcohol is a big no no at poker time. It can serious affect your judgment. So stay away from it while on the game.*Never take side bets. Usually these are just gimmicks
so that more money will go to the casino.*Never gamble your hard earned money unless you are very much ready to lose it.While in the game
here are some important ideas to think about:*Gaze at your opponent’s eye. Survey all their moves. Observe them
to better know them. This way
you will fear them less. This way
you will know when they are bluffing or not.*Play in silence. Have that conversation with your self as well as think deep to your opponents actions. Concentrate.*Base your decisions on what the reality is. See all movements as they are. Do not fear
instead
be calm and assess their moves accordingly.*Don’t take it personally. At the poker table
it is always unavoidable that your opponent can irritate you. Never give in to such responses. Stay within the good game. Be cool and objective. This is a bluffing game. But do keep in mind that just because your opponent has bluffed earlier
it does not mean that he does all the time. Think tight. Review each move.*Think about what your opponents have. Create a situation. So when deciding
you’ll have a better chance to be right.*Know when to stop. Is the hand that you are raising now the hand you folded a while ago? This is a sign that you should go home.*Play to enjoy. Do not play if you are sad
bored or tired. If you can’t play having enjoyment as your goal
then don’t play at all!
