As a new player do you have a chance of winning?

The answer is a big YES! The fact that there are so many new poker players joining the various online poker rooms is a good thing for you as we will aim to give you a slight edge with our own personal experiences from spending a lot of time playing poker online. The amount of newbies ( fish ) means there are plenty of opportunities for you to enter into a game of poker where the rest of the people at the table have a lower amount of skill than you do - one big thing to remember is that if the skill level at your table is beyond you dont feel any less for moving on to another opportunity there is no loss of pride to be felt here only a loss of money for staying when you are outgunned.

We would suggest concentrating on Texas Hold em and most of our site is geared towards this form of poker as its the one that I play the most personally and its also the most popular form so if you get into this type of poker then getting a game at a poker room near you should not be a problem - try out a freeroll tournament at Poker Room to start you off.
