I love poker online. I have been using empire. It is ok. I have been actively investigating many things about playing online. Here are some things I found. I have only been playing online for 3 months;
I studied the sklanski books as I play.
I used to use www.texascalculatem.com to help me. You have to pay for that though. And I found a better one. This one is free. It can be found at www.holdemassistant.com. This runs with the game. It analyzes your opponents and gives you pre flop advice only(Texas Cal. gives advice throughout the whole hand(Not good)). Hold em assistant also has a seperate program that keeps track of your Statistics. Exact hands played and profit/loss. Position profit/loss. Hand type profit/loss. Also keeps a whole track of your money. I found this through Sklanski's internet site www.twoplustwo.com, in the forums.

Now here is the laast thing I found out tonight through the forums... http://www.gamesgrid.com/promotions.html This is a new site that is just starting. They are offering a 1000% signup bonus up to $5000! Here are the threads from sklanski site detailing it. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=2109251&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=14 Please look at the threads and make your own judgement. I am going to try it. Apparently this site has been a leader in the online Backgammon game for 10 years. If you do sign up, and you want to use me as a referral, thanks. But that is not why I am doing this. I have no affiliation with the site I just think it is a good opportunity to be in the beggining of this site getting their base costumers.
Please email me and let me know what you guys think.
