Prime Poker

Prime Poker is a site that I use, and it just opened on the Ongame network in 2006. It is a great place for new players because it has a poker school and great sign up bonuses for new players. The low limit tables are a great place to start out as the tables are pretty loose and easy to beat. I like the Texas Hold’em games, but the site also has Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud, Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo, and Five-Card Draw.

 
Some of the special features let you figure out what your hand odds are and what your opponent’s history is. This is extremely helpful when you’re not exactly sure what types of hands are best and when to raise people. Once you have become more experienced you can play in the high stakes games. I’ve found that they can get very competitive, so you should make sure that you’re up to that level before you try.
Prime Poker software is really easy to understand, although sometimes the lobby can be a little confusing. The graphics are really good and you can play up to four tables at one time. You can even take notes on other players while you’re playing. Everything runs fairly smoothly and quickly, so you shouldn’t have too many problems.

 
The sight attracts a lot of players, mostly because of its fantastic promotions. At peak times there can be as many as 9,000 players. The promotions they are doing right now give new players a $600 sign up bonus with 100% match who are from PokerListings. A reload bonus is given to players who have earned Prime Poker Points. Ten points will earn you a dollar, so if you would like to have a reload of $50 dollars, you will need 500 Prime Poker Points. The sites biggest promotion is its loyalty bonus. Whenever you make more than $100 dollars inside of one month, you will be able to enter for the Prime Doubler bonus. The Prime Doubler bonus doubles your earnings for that month. It can be extremely profitable if you made a lot of money.

 
Since the site is connected to the Ongame network, you will also be eligible for guaranteed tournaments, freerolls, and casino games. Prime Poker has a lot of tournaments you can play in. I play the tournaments in which the buy-ins are only a couple dollars, but some of the tournaments can cost hundreds of dollars. The play is fast and slightly competitive. Once you get into the upper levels of the tournaments, especially the ones with higher buy-ins, you will find that the competition is extremely difficult. Tournaments run daily and weekly. There are also qualifiers for events like the World Series of Poker.

 
This is a great site for someone to learn how to play poker. The features make the site easy to understand and manage, while the sign-up bonus makes your money worth more, especially if you don’t start out too well. I found that the site helped me learn how to play poker very well very quickly, so I recommend it to others.
