America's Cardroom

America's Cardroom is my new favorite site to play on.  Million Dollar Sundays, free rolls and a bunch of players all the time. The Freebuy Super Series is your chance to play for 150,000 dollars in prizes for absolutely free.

Android and iOS Apps

I've been trying out all the poker apps that I can get my hands on.  I will post the ones that will enhance your poker skills and knowledge.  

 Insta Poker Coach was a let down at first because it seemed like you had to spend money to get any kind of valuable information out of it.   After blowing through the first hand pack(which was cool) I realized you could at least preview the other ones available to buy.  From what I've experienced so far I find it valuable and worth checking out.  It's available on Android and iOS.

Learn from pros! 

FREE to download and includes tips, training and plays coached by poker pros including poker’s all-time leading money winner, Antonio Esfandiari, WSOP Main Event winner and owner of 4 WSOP bracelets, Huckleberry Seed, top cash player, Matt Berkey and tournament strategist Jonathan Little.

The next app is Equity Battle and I guess it's only on the play store.  

Bring your equity calculations to the next level and make better poker decisions at the tables by mastering these challenges with increasing difficulty. There are more than 250 levels for Hold'em and Omaha players available.  

Another US Friendly Site

I tried out another site yesterday, BetOnline and they have a lot of free rolls.  I actually made it to the final table and now have a bank roll ($1).  I have a few more to test out so I'll keep you posted.

Poker Software I Use

I currently use Holdemindicator to help calculate pot odds and winning percentages. It also tracks how many hands your opponents are playing and how they are playing them. It is well worth the 100 dollar price tag and it works with Bovada no problem. Once I started using this HUD I really stepped my game up. It has made me a better poker player, I learned a lot just by focusing on the numbers.

The next highly recommended software is Online Poker Manager. It is an easy to use poker hand replayer and results tracking application. It's free but if you like it and want to continue using it you should donate for a license.

Welcome! Here's a few legal (check your state government) USA poker sites.

Well I'm finally stepping away from the tables to create this poker information portal.  Online poker isn't illegal in the United States like most people think. It's tricky, it isn't legal in all states that's why I say check to make sure. No one has been arrested and prosecuted for playing online poker to my knowledge. Here's a chart with current legal standings in the summer of 2015.  White is right, red is bad with orange right behind it and yellow is grey so to speak.

My purpose is to share the resources and information that have helped me improve upon my Poker game.  I will post guides, links, software etc.  I will also try to announce free rolls.  Free rolls are great for newcomers who need experience on the tables without risking money.  It's more realistic than play money poker, and gaining experience without risking money is priceless.   I played play money poker back in 2006 for 6 months and then I took 10 dollars and played 1 dollar buy in tournaments.  I didn't make money but I didn't lose money either.  Well actually I did make money but just enough to pay for the juice, which enabled me to continue to play.  For every one dollar buy in I had to pay a dime to Pokerstars. The juice is usually 10% and that's how poker sites and casinos make their money.  

If you want to get started with some free rolls then I recommend Poker MIRA. When setting up your account use Dubstepticon as you referrer and promo code PLCOM for your bonus.  they have multiple free rolls every day and CarbonPoker is doing one every night (10:00 p.m. EST) in honor of shark week.  


For those who want to deposit money I recommend Bovada, it has the most cash games, tournaments and I believe overall players out of all the US friendly sites.  It's an anonymous site so if you are like me and used to Pokerstars and Fulltilt it may take a little getting used to.  I actually think it's better this way, tracking databases will not track your playing style. You can download your hand history 24 hours after your hand is played and since it's anonymous you can see if you got bluffed or made a great fold.
