So you have been playing poker with your friends and family for a while now and you do well and want to channel your skills to make money playing online poker. Learning to play poker online is quite simple, it's winning that can be the tricky part. At your home game you can see everyone, and you know how most of your friends play so you can make you decisions at the table accordingly. But switching from live to online is not as easy as you may think. You have to practice, practice, practice. After all, practice makes perfect.

When you first start playing online poker you may see immediate gains or some immediate losses. And it's usually the losses that come first. In dewapoker to minimize the losses and maximize the gains, you should first look into some sort of formal poker training from someone who has been successful. If you think about it, did anyone who is successful in their line of work just jump in and immediately become a leader in the industry? No. So finding a poker mentor should be your first priority.

The problem is that you probably don't know any professional poker players to get this formal training from. This is where the internet comes in. There are a ton of poker training programs out there that claim to be the best when in fact, there are very few. So what makes a good training program? First, is the program from a credible source? Second, what makes up the training? You don't want to just sign up for any old poker training course created by someone you never heard of, and you want to know what you are getting in return for you time and money.
