Reader Questions and Answers #1
A new feature that I am going to try and do weekly is answer questions that searchers used to find this site. I think this is a great way of helping Holdem Review become even more of an authority on online poker and online poker rooms. Let’s begin.
What days do the best poker players play?
The best poker players play every day. If you are asking “What days do the best poker players play?” to avoid playing against the best poker players, then you should probably ask a different question. You shouldn’t be asking “which days the best poker players play,” but rather “what times do the best poker players play?” You can read my article titled “What is the best time of day to play online poker?” for more information on that question.
To try to answer the original question as well as I can, I believe that the best poker players generally play more during the weekday afternoons. From my personal experience, I know that not many serious poker players are up before noon playing at the poker table. Many of the best poker players play well into the night trying to play against international poker players.
When do Pokerstars WSOP satellites start?
Pokerstars WSOP satellites should start running in March. Pokerstars has not yet announced the beginning date of their famous WSOP satellites for the 2009 World Series of Poker. Once the WSOP satellites do start, you will have plenty of chances to win a seat to the Main Event. Pokerstars.com gave away over 1,100 seats last year and has given away over 4,700 WSOP seats since 2002.
Where are the weakest players in online poker?
The weakest players in online poker that I have found are at Sportsbook Poker and Pacific Poker. Both poker sites feature prominent and popular online casinos attached to the poker room, attracting lots of the ‘weakest players in online poker’.
What are the best US pokersites?
The best US pokersites are Sportsbook Poker, Pokerstars, Full Tilt Poker, and Cake Poker in that order. For more reasons why I rank the best US poker sites this way, read my article, ‘The Best Poker Site For USA Players‘.
Heads up online poker easier to make money?
This depends on what games you are comparing to. Is heads up online poker easier to make money at then live heads up poker? Yes, I think so. Mainly because you get to play so many more hands that live poker. This person was probably comparing ‘heads up online poker’ to multi-handed online poker though. And the answer, like so many other about poker is, “It depends.” Heads up poker is very differrent from any other form of poker. It takes a lot of practice and study to become a very good heads up poker player. If you are a very good heads up poker player, then it can be quite easy to make more money playing heads up online poker. But it does take a lot of work to get there.
