Welcome to the Poker Page at Online Casino Suite.
Considering that many of our readers also play online
poker, some even more so than online casino gambling, we
thought it would be helpful to begin with a review of
whom we (and hundreds of thousands of other players we
might add), consider to be the top poker room in
business today. A summary review is presented
immediately below with links to a full page, in-depth
review. Further down on this page is some background
information on the game of poker, followed by some
insightful poker tips and updated online poker news to
help you make the most out of this competitive game of
skill.

Poker Stars is undoubtedly the largest and most
popular poker room on the Web today, and with good
reason. With more tournaments than anywhere else, as
well as a steadily generous promotions scheme, Poker
Stars has an impressive retention rate (over 100,000
players online during peak times). Poker Stars is
licensed in the UK whitelisted EU jurisdiction of Isle
of Man, where all financial transactions are likewise
processed from. Accommodating to a wide range of players
and bankrolls, Poker Stars offers satellites to the largest tournaments in the professional poker
circuit, including the WSOP. In fact, more Poker Stars
players have won seats to the WSOP than anywhere else on
the internet. Poker Stars is also home to the World
Championship of Online Poker ($10 million main event)
and the largest and longest running weekly tournament on
the Web - Sunday Millions - which offers $1 million in
guaranteed winnings every week of the year.

Full Review
Poker is the one game featured here at Online Casino
Suite that does not impose a House Edge. Casinos and
poker rooms make their money off of the rake, which is a
small shaving off of the total pot for each hand played.
On the contrary, poker is a game in which highly skilled
players can make a good earning with little risk. But if
you are seeking to play poker so as to quit your day
job, think again. To become a consistently successful
poker player requires the dedication and discipline of a
professional athlete.
There are different versions of poker - Texas Hold'em
being the most popular today. In poker rooms you will
certainly find Texas Hold'em and are likely to also find
Omaha Hi/lo and Seven Card Stud. In online casinos, you
will likely find different versions of poker that
include Caribbean Stud, Let it Ride and Three Card.
Caribbean Stud Poker is played against the casino, and
gives players a chance to win a progressive jackpot. It
also gives players an opportunity to use very
complicated strategy. Let it Ride is neither played
against the dealer nor other players, but simply pays
for minimum qualifying poker hands.
Knowing your poker hands is key to understanding all
of the different versions of poker played in online
casinos and poker rooms. It's also important to
familiarize yourself with all of the terms used at the
table. If you don't know what a raise is, then you
better put your money away.
If you have an interest to play poker online, there are
many options for you. Depending on your level of skill,
certain rooms will be more accommodating than others. As
far as you should be concerned, look for rooms that
offer guaranteed payouts, round-the-clock
action/tournaments and a large member base.
