Potential good news for new online casino poker players

Most of the casino games we find at our online casinos are easy to understand and new players can quickly learn the rules and start to enjoy them to the full. At onlinecasino.ie we have detailed the rules and strategies of the most popular casino games on our individual casino games pages to help new online casino gamblers get the most from their experience. One casino game however can be a problem for new inexperienced players, and that is Poker, more specifically interactive poker played online against other gamblers. Playing poker online has become very popular, but there are obvious dangers for some new players who may find themselves up against very experienced poker players in relatively high stakes games and not actually know that their opponents have that extra expertise. Clearly there is only one way to gain that experience and that is to play, preferably for low stakes, so we at onlinecasino.ie must welcome the recent announcement from one of our biggest online poker operators, Party Poker, that they are planning to reduce their high stakes online poker tables and attempt to attain a better balance between skilled players and new players. This decision is partly in response to a reported 8% fall in their online poker revenues over the first six months of the year, which they feel could be due in  part to new players losing to more experienced players and therefore starting to feel that playing poker at an online casino was no longer fun. Let’s hope they are right, because their online casino and online bingo businesses have both had good first half results, so there is no doubt that playing casino games online is still gaining new customers. Poker is an exciting casino game so it would be a great pity if new players continue to find themselves losing heavily whilst they learn the game.
