 |
|
| To join a poker room for the first time, decide what you want, read the fine print, and take your time exploring the site before you risk any real money, or a lot of money. If you are only into poker for the fun and don't care about real money, look for a fun, graphics intensive site with plenty of play tables and fun players. If you are hoping to become the latest poker shark online, seek out the simple, clean, smooth sites with a reputation for lots of action. |

| and you should have the fastest connection that you can - nothing worse than holding up the entire game or having your computer crash 'cause it can't handle the graphics! |

| Well, poker games dont require alot of graphics, you can just have integrated graphics (graphics it usually comes with) and play poke well. But, i agree with what you said about internet connection. Gotta pick a good service so you wont get the, Disconnect reconnecting in 500 seconds. |

just get the best you can! |

I usually play Pacific Poker. I haven't seen those with high graphics. Where can we try them, Thumperfive?  |

| Yeah, it is best not to jump right into things. Sticking back and watching how things work is a much better bet |

Absolutely Thumperfive, I have only recently started to play so I am still playing with 'virtual money'. I think it will be along time before I am ready to play for real.
Until then I am learning, getting to know people and having fun. |
