A plethora of online poker sites offer the customer free poker, and in actuality, is free poker. However the impetus of the sites is to get you to make a credit card deposit and play for cash – that is the only way they see a profit. Some free poker sites offer a .net instead of a .com after their name to promote their free poker sites and even at times, call it a poker school. Truth be told, they are all ploys to get you to play free and all the while pulling you towards their real money tables.

Tons of people flock to the ever friendly and seemingly harmless poker school sites or free poker sites and more often than not, they gravitate towards the real money poker tables at the company’s dot com companies and slowly bombarding the free poker players with advertisements and deposit bonuses to lure them into making their first deposit. The loss is ours as a bevy of players that would normally let their poker training take their due course have deposited money prematurely and consequently lose money and gamble instead of playing poker – the difference can be crucial.

So enjoy those free poker sites for as long as you can and really enjoy and learn this game from its infancy stages to maturity the correct way, because you must first need to learn how to crawl before you walk. You can begin your poker career at these sites and you should, just be weary of the special bonus offers and reload bonuses to get you to deposit and lose your money, which is what will happen unless you really learn the game.
