If you are like me, you love playing online poker, in fact when I am not blogging I am playing online poker! The one thing that really gets me though, I hate paying rake? I have seen the rakeback offers at online poker rooms and have seen that I can get 20, 30 or even 50% rake back, You can’t imagine how excited I was when I found PayNoRake.com! You see, PayNoRake is an online poker room like no other, they actually will give you an incredible 100% rake back and it is automatically paid into my account every night! Now that is a rake back offer I can really sink my teeth into!

The Pay No Rake Poker room is certainly a safe and secure room along with an ample supply of cash games to join in. I started playing there and could not stop, I checked the online rake calculator and watched as my share grew with every hand I played! As long as I contributed to the rake I earned more rake back!

Now I have to admit, I do like playing tournament poker too, and there is no lack of games there either, I saw qualifiers for the EPT Finale, APPT games, they even have this knockout game and a chance to be a Protégé for a year and learn from a pro! I looked for some kind of flaw or bug in the system but none were to be found, the free poker software ran smooth and the graphics are perfect to me, not too much, not to liitle. Sorry to ramble on but as I said, I am so excited to find PayNoRake.com! Well don’t take my word for it… download your copy of PayNoRake today and see for yourself! Want to learn more?

Online Poker Players need to be aware of sports bettors

24 October, 2008 (22:16) | bankroll, bodog, horse betting, online casinos, online poker, poker, poker bonus | No comments

So you’re a poker player and you’re not very big on nor do you care much about sports betting. You just don’t follow it enough to feel like you’d have much of chance of winning and you prefer a game where you have more control of what happens. Well, that’s fair enough.

But if you play online poker at a site like Bodog that also has a casino and a sportsbook, it’s important to know that one of the biggest perks you get from playing there is that you get to play against less experienced and loose poker players who made money in the sportsbook or casino and have come over to try their luck in the poker room. And you should be the shark just waiting for a feeding frenzy! This is why as an online poker player you need to follow who is winning in the sports world. This is the basic formula for knowing when there’s lots of loose money and if the favored team wins, there will be more sports bettors in the poker room, thus increasing your odds on making a nice Sunday or Monday night payday! I have tested this theory and beleive me it works! Even if you hit the low limits in no limit holdem, you can make some serious cash in a very short amount of time!

Every week Bodog’s poker room fills up when the favored teams win, so whay not get in there and take advantage of a poker room where the odds are thoroughly stacked in the experienced players favor. Very few of the sports bettors will be experience poker players and what is wrong with you being on the receiving end of a very loose table? A good NFL game to keep your eye on this Sunday is the heavily favored New York Jets against the Kansas City Chiefs. If the Jets win, just take a peak in the poker room and watch as the fish swim in. And more important… watch how fast you can build your bankroll!

And as an added bonus, this weekend is the Breeders Cup in horse racing, watch the fish hit the tables with the “new Money” they win at the track and help them thin out their wallets! Not a member at the Bodog Poker Room? Sign up with this link and take a 110% bonus, that is 100% that you will need to clear and 10% in your account as an up front bonus ready to nibble on the fish! Head on over to the Bodog online poker room and experience the joys of a soft poker game. Read our complete Bodog Poker Review here.
