Online poker has been a favourite amongst internet savvy men for many years, but now more and more women are turning to play poker online, and quickly realising that they are very good at it!

Its certainly not an easy game to play in my opinion. You need to develop your own poker strategy. I'm not sure that I have fully found mine yet as I haven't made my fortune from playing online poker, although many have. I have taken a few big pots from the table, but I think it was more fluke than strategic play! I stick to Texas Holdem poker, but there are other variations and you should try them all to see which one is best for you.

If you are fairly new to playing poker online, then take a look at the Poker Hand Rankings and Poker Lingo Glossary before you begin.

All of my recommended online poker sites below offer great tournaments, deposit bonuses, many tables to play online poker at, and easy, safe and secure payment deposit and withdrawal options, which is very important when you've just thrashed it out at the table to win a mint.

Some will accept players from USA, and some are more popular with players from UK, or Canada, or Australia. Check out what they offer first, to see which one offers the best for what you want when you play poker online.

If you haven't played online poker tournaments before, then I urge you to give it a try, it is really different to the traditional sitting at a table with a few players. I was terrified the first time I entered a an online freeroll poker tournament, but I came in third place, which gave me the confidence to try again. From then on I was a regular online poker tournie player!

All of the sites below offer many freeroll tournaments, with real cash prizes, so you have nothing to lose by joining, but plenty to gain. You never know you may end up in a head to head against me, I play on some of these sites when time allows, and highly recommend you give them a try.
