Real Money Texas Hold’em
I am primarily a cash game player, so I have decided to let you in on where I play Texas holdem cash games. Although every good player that joins the games that I play at makes it harder for me, I feel that there enough fish for everyone. Especially at the sites that I frequent.The competition at many poker sites can be very difficult, making it nearly impossible for even the best players to make money. It is no fun and a waste of time to sit at a poker table playing against a bunch of tough players grinding it out against each other. And it can be tough on your wallet.
I have played at lots of online poker rooms over the years and have found some “diamonds in the rough” that I have made a lot of money at.
Here are my favorite poker rooms for real money Texas holdem cash games.
1. – Sportsbook Poker 
- Sportsbook Poker is a lot like Cake Poker. They share the same network, which means they share a lot of the same players. The biggest difference between the two sites is that Sportsbook Poker has a casino and sports book as well. Why does this matter?
- Tons of “gamblers” come over from their sports book to gamble at poker. There are guys that hardly know the rules that are throwing big money around. What do they care about it? They just got lucky on their college team winning.
- Americans can deposit using their credit card. Sportsbook is one of VERY FEW poker sites that accept credit cards from Americans. I actually don’t know of another room that has the ability to take credit cards. Along with PokerStars’ Echecks, credit cards at Sportsbook Poker is the easiest way to deposit and play online.
- Sports Book Poker offers a great $1,000 first time deposit bonus. Like Cake Poker, it releases in $20 chunks. A great bonus really helps. Even if you hit a cold streak and lose money playing, you can make money by clearing your bonus.
Click here to visit SportsBook Poker. It is #1 in my book. (Sorry for the pun… I couldn’t help it.)
2. – Cake Poker
- Cake Poker is a poker room that not a lot of people have heard about. They are far from the biggest online poker room. If they are lucky, Cake Poker has 10,000 players online, compared to 150,000 plus at Poker Stars. But as I’m sure some sweet girl has told you; It’s not the size that matters. And it’s actually true when it comes to poker rooms!
- The competition is easy compared to bigger poker sites. Cake Poker opened its doors a couple years ago, and through clever and quirky marketing, it has grown and attracted lots of newbie poker players. Many sharks have not discovered Cake Poker, or they are too loyal to some of the bigger rooms to switch over to Cake yet. Give Cake a try before the better players catch on.
- Cake Poker offers a superb 100% up to $650 sign up bonus on your first deposit. It releases in $20 increments and is very easy to clear. Some rooms offer huge bonuses and then make it impossible to clear it. Not Cake Poker.
3. – Poker Stars
- PokerStars is the biggest online poker room in the world. With over 150,000 players online at almost any time, Pokerstars offer the best game selection of any site.
- With the massive amounts of players online, there are fish everywhere and at all limits, even the really high ones. Your job is to find them and make them pay you. There are dozens of open tables at all limits at all times of the day.
- Americans can deposit instantly with Echecks. Echecks is a way for US players to deposit straight from their bank account using your checking account information. For more info, check out how to deposit money to play online poker.
- Pokerstars is a must for all online poker players.
