For too long, many of my buddies have taken huge chunks of time to build up play money chips online, or play on Zynga Poker and amass millions upon millions of chips; I like to call these guys the “Freeroll Kings” for their inability to realize that, sadly, those multitudes of chips they’ve accumulated over the years are still worth the exact same amount of money they were then; zero. That’s why I tell them and am telling you to play poker for real money, and start making some actual profit instead of big chunks of meaningless “dollars” on Facebook.
There are many different avenues you can go to in order to get a chance to try poker for real, including playing at a casino, but the best way to introduce yourself to playing poker for real money is playing online. Online poker rooms give you the chance to start your real money poker playing without having to spend an arm and a leg to start; you can find cash games and tournaments available for pennies and dollars, instead of hundreds or thousands of dollars that you may not want to risk on your first try at the real games.
Even though the buy-ins are small, it’s still real money, and in the case of the tournaments, a very small investment can turn into some serious cash if there’s a lot of players in the tournament. Plus, instead of having to learn the nuances of real money poker in front of a host of strangers, you learn in the comfort and privacy of your own home; no pressure, just fun.
So, quit being a Freeroll King and become a real money player. With online rooms available 24/7, it’s never been easier to learn how to play poker for money and win big than today, so what are you waiting for? Get started playing poker for real money today.
