What more of a thrill can we get than from playing poker? It is safer than trying to parachute out of a plane – but it can give us the same adrenaline rush and excitement. Every time you play poker you are trying your best to win the big money. You can get this kind of thrill at one of the nation’s top casinos in Las Vegas or Atlantic City – but sometimes we don’t always have the resources to play here. That is why online poker rooms were created. They make it easy for poker aficionados to play whenever they want and wherever they want.

The only problem that most players run into is trying to find the right poker site that deserves your money. There are hundreds maybe even thousands of online poker rooms waiting for you play – but not all of them have what you are looking for.

Mobile Poker from Ongame. Part one.

Poker players, surely, know the name of the poker network - Ongame. That's one of the largest poker networks for now (and before the expulsion of the Americans was the largest).

Poker players, surely, know the name of the poker network - Ongame. That's one of the largest poker networks for now (and before the expulsion of the Americans was the largest). The Ongame Company itself, as had been already mentioned, was acquired by the bookmaker BWin. Ongame Company owns not only the software, but a couple of large online poker rooms such as PokerRoom and EuroPoker. So it turns out, that namely these poker rooms, factually belonging to the one and only owner, are also using Ongame mobile casino games software for their mobile poker versions. Perhaps, mobile software already exists or will soon be developed for other rooms of this network, but I didn't yet come across any.

So what kind of mobile poker software Ongame Company offers? Well, the game "weighs" about 250 Kb and includes likewise online and offline options where you can practice your poker skills: to take advantage of tournament features, playing at four different skill poker levels - from beginner to expert, and of course to win mobile poker bonuses.

But, surely, the most interesting option is mobile poker games. There's only one game - Texas Hold'em, and only cash games. You may download certain options, for example, a four colour deck, 3D graphical game, a chat, detailed info, sound etc.

Before starting a mobile poker game you should filter the poker tables, select the game type (limited, unlimited), table size (full, shortened, one to one), limits, and also mobile poker for real money or play money, or offline tournaments.

Having done the selection, press "Get Tables", you would find a list of the available tables - these will be the same poker tables as in the online version. If you select the option "show full tables", you get all the tables available; if this option is not installed - only those tables which are not fully occupied. For every table, after it's selected, you can acquire additional info (hands per hour, average pot, flop view percentage). Unfortunately, the current version lacks the opportunity to join a queue to a table; you can join a partly occupied or open and watch the game at a fully occupied table.

Visually a table is a diminished copy of the online poker room version - same avatars, same design, but you are able to see on the display only a little more than half a table at one and the same time.

By using a joypad you can navigate around the table, select the seat you want etc. Enter the amount to play for and confirm with the 'OK' soft button on your phone (If there is a minimum buy-in at the table, this will be displayed). Choose if you want to post a blind right away or if you want to wait for your turn by pressing [1] or [2].

As you can see, the screen inscriptions are quite small, and you have to be very attentive. Basically you have three keys for the navigation: 1 - fold, 2 - call, 3 - bet/raise. In case of unlimited poker, if you bet or raise you open the window, where you can enter a sum (or type it on the keyboard, or add little by little with a joypad). All in all, the interface is quite all right, and I didn't have any serious problems, especially in the limited poker. The program consumes not so much traffic, even comparing to a mobile casino; in half an hour I used less than 200 Kb.

 

The First Five Crucial Poker Minutes!!

First things first, determine exactly what everyone’s trying to accomplish. Is the individual there to learn, have fun or play for a living?

First things first, determine exactly what everyone’s trying to accomplish. Is the individual there to learn, have fun or play for a living? Most of your profit in no limit holdem games is going to come from picking a target and going after him. A lesson taken from the movie Rounders: "If you can't spot the sucker within the first half hour, then you are sucker."

Figure out who is winning and who is losing. People usually don’t play as well when they are losing, therefore a losing player may be an easier target. In no limit, you have to learn and understand people you play against. The strategy you used yesterday could be worthless today. You need to know what kind of game plan you are going to use and know the game plan you will be using will be the right one.

Another individual you should target are player’s who are excessively drinking. Pick on the drunk guy who’s just there to have a good time and gamble. You may get a few bad beats from time to time with drunks because of there willingness to take chances more often, but in the long run they’ll pay you off nicely.

In the first five minutes, try to establish a dominating presence at the table. You don’t want to be someone else’s mark. If no one are the table knows you, they might mark you as a fish and try to bully you around. No limit’s no fun when you have people targeting you. Reek of confidence; sit up straight and let them know how comfortable you are. Be intimidating – let them know you’re a well-rounded no limit holdem player and you’re ready for any play they throw at you.

Last, but not least important point, is to pay attention. If you pay attention constantly after you fold, you will pick up on certain tells and player’s betting patterns. Players will show information you can use against them.
