Poker rooms

There are really a lot of online poker rooms, where you can play with real players, using real money or play money (for free).
Until now I'm registered in 3 such rooms, so later I'll share my opinion with you about those rooms and I'll try to make some reviews.

But so.. let's get back to the poker rooms. How it looks, how you should orientate there and so on..
Here I'll tell you only the basic, later when I start to do the reviews, I'll put some screen shots and I'll go in detail explanation of the environment presented by each site (poker room).

Where and how?

• Web based, html, java, etc.. - usually when you play on the site (for example bwin.com) there are missing some options which can be useful for you, it's more risky your browser to get stuck and to ruine your good going game, so I certainly do not recommend you to use a web-based play.
• Download software - Totally spy, ad-ware free (when downloaded from the site of origin), low resource consumption, friendly to use. The poker rooms have their own software that you should download and install in order to play, usually the software is user-friendly easy to use and orientate, giving you more options that the web-based, until now I didn't notice any bugs in any of the softwares that I've used. I can only truly recommend this type of choice to play.
  

How it looks:
When you login to the software which you use you have following options of play which are usually on the top of the screen:

• Real money - using money credited from you bank account (using provider or directly from your credit card) to play in the different types of poker offering the current poker room
• Play money - Using options offered from the poker room, you can credit your imagery account with some chips/points/money... this is your best way to learn the basics. Usually only restrictions is that you have to wait couple of minutes before you reload your play money account, but this is not really a problem. There is even a option to win real money playing with play money !

Next possibility is to choose game type:
Here it differs from the server, usually you should find there at least three options of games:

• Texas Hold'em
• Omaha
  
• Stud

And after that you have to choose type of play Tournaments or different type of mixed games, this also differs on the poker rooms. More in the reviews.
And last thing to choose is No limit, Pot limit or Limit game
