MyPokerBasics.com Teaches You To Play Poker In Less Than 15 Minutes

    SANTA BARBARA, CA, October 14, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As online poker moves further into the mainstream of Internet activities, more individuals are venturing into this frontier. While some of us play for entertainment, most are looking to make a few extra dollars, if not more. To make that happen, you'll need to know the ins and outs of how to play poker online.

MyPokerBasics is a free poker portal dedicated to teaching you how to play poker in less than 15 minutes. Unlike many poker schools, MyPokerBasics.com does not waste time with lengthy explanations of each and every aspect of the game, instead incorporating a step by step process that teaches new poker players the basics of the game in the most simple format possible.

If you've never played a single hand of poker in your life, this is the web site for you. Nothing is assumed. The educational process starts with the fundamentals of poker, detailed in an unadorned manner that is straightforward and clear cut.

Step 1 teaches you the most basic of all elements of poker; hand ranks. To confuse your Ace-high straight for a winner when another player has an obvious flush is an unforgiving mistake that, sadly, many new players make due to simple lack of recognition.

The poker hand ranking section goes into further detail, explaining who wins a tie and why; i.e. the "kicker". Essential poker terms, like "blind bets" and the "dealer button" are covered, along with all betting options and when to use them. Step 1 also describes the most popular forms of poker - Texas Holdem, Omaha and 7 Card Stud - and the differences between them.

In Step 2 of the MyPokerBasics online poker tutorial, players learn about more intricate poker games, including but not limited to:5 Card Draw, 5 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud, Badugi, HA Poker, Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi Lo. A complete how to play poker section is provided for all major forms of the game found at today's most reputable online poker rooms.

The third and final step deals with actually playing poker online. Players are supplied with a list of the best online poker rooms, according to extensive research performed by the site managers. This allows new online poker players to skip the prolonged process of trial and error when trying to find an accommodating poker site.

My Poker Basics also includes a catalogue of online poker bonus codes that correspond with each of its recommended poker sites to ensure every player is getting the best possible welcome bonus when making their first deposit. To the right of each listed poker site is an icon that depicts acceptance or restriction of American players. This is particularly helpful for USA poker players who don't wish to waste their time downloading a poker client and getting halfway through the sign up process only to find out they are not going to be able to make a deposit.

The goal of this online poker tutorial is to take a brand new "wannabe" poker player and turn them into a successful online poker player in just 15 minutes. The information provided is highly informative, but lacks all of the ornamentation you would expect to find at most online poker schools. It also lacks the subscription fee that many online poker schools are notorious for.
