Here at ThePokerResource.net, we enjoy playing online poker, and have been excited to see the explosion of both poker’s worldwide popularity, as well as the number of new online poker sites striving to outdo each other. Various online poker rooms are motivated by the market to constantly come up with innovative site designs, enticing poker tournaments, player appreciation programs and other factors intended to generally better the poker player’s experience. And while we continue to further our own extensive education of online poker sites, we hope that by ThePokerResource providing basic, vital information about the game and our poker site analyses with potential new players, ultimately, the overall benefit to players will increase as the best of the best poker sites find ways to improve their websites, and stand above the others.
Through this website, we also seek to provide information in an understandable and efficient manner. All bundled in a nice succinct package, without any fancy flash, or an overload of information that can confuse, instead of help your online poker game. Along with TPR's main reviewer utilizing over six years of online poker experience, we have also tapped some trusted friends and professionals to pool together invaluable poker insights. The key to using this site as a resource and guide into the exciting world of online poker is our rating system: not just which sites we think are better than others (see Site Reviews), but more importantly, why (see Poker Ratings). We are constantly fine-tuning the system, improving both the effectiveness of our poker ratings, as well as the precision of our site reviews. For more details, the main poker site reviews page lists all of the sites in a quick-reference table, with brief pros/cons listed for each site, bonus info, as well as links to detailed site reviews and software downloads. The main Poker Ratings page outlines the different scoring criteria used, and lists all of the reviewed poker sites with their scores for each category. While other websites may be available with similar information about poker sites, we think our rating system will truly stand out as an invaluable resource for helping people get started with playing poker online.
All aspects of this site: the poker ratings, site reviews, poker rules, strategy, etc., stem from online poker games and perspectives. And while much of this site’s perspective and information can be applied to playing poker in general, some areas will understandably have more of an online poker angle. Of course, we still play the same games. All poker rooms have been driven by the popularity of Texas Hold’em and No-Limit Texas Hold’em tournaments, both which are covered on this site. But we also enjoy the classic game of 7-Card Stud, the intriguing flop-game of Omaha, as well as their popular variations (Limit, Pot-Limit, Hi-Lo split, Draw, etc.) that we played on each relevant site. You can learn more about the different poker games in the Poker Rules section, which includes other intro-to-poker information such as Poker Hand Rankings and a Poker Glossary. Also, find out the latest info on some of the world's biggest poker events (current and upcoming) in our featured Tournaments section. With subject matter relevant to both tournaments as well as strategy, check out our new web log: A Rounder's blog, as our resident rounder shares his pespectives playing in tournaments around the world. And in the poker Strategy & Tips section, you will find more useful, concise tools to help build up your poker game, although we cannot even pretend to be able teach the enormous amount of valuable knowledge that exists out in the poker world. Which is why there is also a Links page containing a list of great poker books and other resources to help further your own education as we once did (or attempted to do).
