Once
you've decided you want to play poker in a casino cardroom,
the next step is to decide which cardroom. Not all cardrooms
are the same, and the choice of a cardroom can be critical
to your success, especially if you're a novice player. The
most important decision you make in poker is your choice
of table. Your profits depend on mistakes made by the other
players at the table. Because your profits depend on your
opponents, it's important to pick them carefully. Your choice
of a room can determine the range of tables you have to
choose from. Some cardrooms offer better choices of games
than others. In particular, the more players in the cardroom,
the more chances you have of finding opponents who are making
a lot of mistakes. That's one of the reasons that larger
cardrooms are often preferable to smaller ones.
Most cardrooms are well managed. They're clean and pleasant
and provide an enjoyable environment. Unfortunately, some
are really dingy, unpleasant, gloomy rooms. You'll need
to check out the cardrooms near you and make a choice. Not
all cardrooms are alike. If you have a bad experience at
one, don't give up. Try another room. The best way to choose,
of course, is to get a recommendation from a friend.
If you're computer literate, an alternative is to check
the Internet newsgroup rec.gambling.poker. Its archives
contain a number of player reviews of cardrooms; www.pokerpages.com
is also a good source for cardroom reviews. If you can't
find any recent reviews of cardrooms in your area, post
a request for a recommendation on the newsgroup.
