Usually poker is played with 52 cards with each card having a fixed and individual value. When arranging the cards in your hand the most popular and easiest way is by decreasing order such as ace, king, and queen or by the segments which are Clubs, Spades, Hearts and Diamonds. To be the winner it’s determined by the maximum amount of the cards in your hand.

The objective for playing online casino poker should be to finish the game with the highest score. This is based on the value of the cards in your hand at the end of the game. The rank of the game will be in descending order. The orders are Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, and Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pair, One Pair, and High Card. In order to be a winner it is helpful to know how to play online casino poker before attempting to play the game. Setting a betting limit is the best way to avoid going bankrupt.

Before playing there is an ante or bet which is when playing online usually cash for the winner. After the ante 5 cards are dealt to all the players starting from the left with the rest of the cards put in the middle. The first player starts the betting and it moves around the table to each player at the change of hands. After the betting there are three options which are to see where you bet the player with the same amount or raise where you raise the bet or fold where you leave the game. This continues until there is not a raise option and all give up but one player or two players are left and the higher value of the two wins.

To find out more about how to play online casino poker visit some of the web site or try a free version of the game. The internet has many sites with information on online casino poker.

Collusion:  Think of 2 people chatting via aim or on the phone telling each other what cards they have.  Then betting or raising to map larger pots.  The player with a good hand  now has a chance to win a much larger pot and the player with the bad hand just folds.  Sure that could lose to a better hand, but if done right they could walk away with alot of your money.

Poker Bots:  Here are some of the bot programs I have found. I do not recomend that you use a bot, infact  I implore you not to, but you should know that they are being used and what they can do.

WinHoldem, Holdem Memory, PokerBot plus, and PokerBot Pro.

Here is some info on WinHoldEm, one of the most popular bots.

WinHoldEm
The WinHoldEm site does warn potential users that a stealth mode should be and must be used at many of the most popular Online Poker rooms. They also gove detailed instructions on how to do this.

You should also know, that just because someone is using a bot, even the same bot program you’ve played against before, it does not mean that this bot will play the same. The WinHoldEm bot forum has a section devodted to tweaking the formula used by the bot.

Imagine one bot playing at four tables.  A bot that knows all the odds, and never makes a mistake.  Sure, a live player could trick the bot, but he’d have to know it was a bot he was playing.  The poker rooms do not want these bots used and do all they can to keep them off their tables, but bot users just keep changing the way the bots work.

Another type of cheating is the tracker.  Poker trackers track your play as well as the play of everyone at the table.  Is this cheating?  Well….Not if you go by the poker rooms.  many of the poker rooms allow this type of program.  So maybe its not cheating, but it does give a huge advantage to the players using the prgrom.

These program show the user how often each player sees the flop.  How agrressive they are.  How often the go to a showdown and how often they win.  In the end the player using a tracker still has to decide to bet, bet, raise, call, or fold, but the program gives them a lot of information to base their decission on.

Cheat is a part of online poker that I wish did not exist, but I wated everyone to know what they are up against when they do decide to play.
