Best Poker Reviews Online

No doubt if you are looking to play poker online, you have run a search and come up with a number of different sites. The question is; which one to choose? Unfortunately there are as many review sites as there are games sites and it is hard to know which ones to trust.

You obviously want to be sure that you will not be throwing your money away and the best way to do this is to have a look at past comments and reviews. Reviews should be honest reflections of the sites, covering a number of topics.

The best poker reviews should always tell you how much it costs to play on the site and how much you can win; whether you have to play for 'real' money or whether you can play for credits; how many players are signed up and online at one time (player's traffic); what games are available to play; what tournaments are available; information on how to deposit and withdraw money; how easy the software is to use and information on their customer service team.

If you are looking to play for real stakes, the online poker reviews will allow you to research which sites are the best and where you are likely to have the best games and ultimately win the most amount of money.

Screen shots of the websites are very useful as you will be able to get a much better feel of what the website looks like as well as what the table itself looks like.

You may be a novice at poker and just want to try out a few online games before you get really serious. It is important that you are able to find out what standards the members of the site play at. You may want to join a table of novices to begin with so that you can practice before playing for real money and it is important that the online reviews are upfront about this information.

When you visit a review site, there should be a selection of poker websites available for your perusal. This way you are able to compare a number of sites and make an informed decision as to which one you will choose.

If you are a citizen of the UK, there should be a selection of the best UK sites available. Likewise, if you are from the US, you will want to know which sites are available for you to play on as many sites aren't open to American citizens.

The most important aspect of online poker review sites is to give detailed information so that new players can make judgments about which site they would rather use. Obviously if you are playing for fun rather than for money you will be looking at different features so it is important that the reviews offer enough information so that people of all expertise can choose where they feel the best games are offered.

Best Poker Tools II - Poker Office 2

PokerOffice is the tracking software that I've used and preferred since it was first released. Although I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Poker Tracker, I believe the new features added to PokerOffice 2.0 make it a far superior product. And while both programs do essentially the same thing, PokerOffice 2.0 is far easier to get running right out of the box and includes many more features such as the ability to view opponents' mucked hands. You also don't have to worry about downloading hand histories and manipulating various add-on programs as you do with Poker Tracker making Poker Office much more user-friendly.

PokerOffice 2.0's main selling point for me is the live game tracker with real time statistics. Not only will the program show you pot odds, outs, draw odds, and a host of other statistics right there on the table, it will give you accurate and detailed information on your opponents. It also auto rates your opponents play, adjusting in real time to show how much of a threat they are including providing such statistics as aggression, BB/100 hands, how often they defend their blinds, pre/post flop stats, and much more. The in-game overlay is a great help in identifying fish and strong players.

My favorite addition to PokerOffice 2.0 is the ability to view opponents' mucked hands. When I first upgraded to 2.0 I was blown away to see what people were calling my bet on the river with. It really is an eye opener.

Finally there is a hand replayer, that lets you view and show-off great hands!

PokerOffice 2.0 also has more graphs. A lot more! I won't bore you with details, but needless to say you can filter your graphs based on everything from hand groupings to player aggression. There's nearly an endless supply of statistics at your disposal ready to be manipulated and configured via graphs and charts for your tinkering pleasure.
