3 Ways of making long term profit from online poker
1.
Jackpot Tournaments on the i-Poker network
These 6-seater sit-and-go tournaments have turbo levels increasing every 7 ˝ minutes.
1st place pays out 50% of the pot, 2nd 30%, also 3rd place pays 20% - which allows you to break-even.
For 6 wins in a row you’ll get:
Fort-Knox
$100,000 Jackpot, $50+8 a game
Rio
$25,000 Jackpot, $20+3.50 a game
Maui
$15,000 Jackpot, $5+1 a game
The jackpots rise
every week that they are not claimed. The top prize is still a long-shot, but what makes these tournaments attractive is the
consolation prizes.
For 6 x 1st or 2nd positions you will get
Fort-Knox paying $750,
Rio $300 and
Maui $200 – these are paid straight to your account and can be withdrawn
immediately.
These sit-and-go tournaments are available on
Titan,
Betfred and
Noble poker.
Advanced players can run two of these games concurrently, with a single game taking about 40 minutes.
The iPoker network covers a range of countries, but players are mainly from Europe. There is a commonly held perception that European players are on the whole less skilled
than their US counterparts, although the reality is that this is rapidly changing with players in Sweden & Denmark particularly giving the US players a run for their money.
The jackpots are won on a reasonably regular basis - and the prizes are seemingly too generous for the entry fees. There are varying tactics as to how to achieve these wins – you’ll see some early all-ins and very loose play, but a table can tighten up considerably as the blinds quickly reach soaring levels.
The following companies run the tournaments and also offer sign up
bonuses to new players:
Titan $500 sign up bonus
Betfred $250 bonus
Noble $100 bonus
2.
Omaha Hi-Lo – Texas hold’em with a diploma
This is a poker game of quick calculations and good bluffing skills. An ability to rapidly work out the pot odds and put other players on a hand is essential. If you have these attributes, Omaha hi-lo could be for you. A key factor is that not everyone playing will know the rules…
This is a game in which 2 hands can split the pot (see full Omaha hi-lo rules here), which will fool a lot of people, especially if it’s rapidly paced. Many will have strayed from the Texas tables and not be fully up to speed with Omaha rules. A number of players will just know the Omaha hi game and be surprised by the lo hand rule. If
there are even just 1 or 2 players like this at a table then the odds will tit in your favour.
Study the game by learning it at low stakes level and graduate as you pick up the tips and tricks.
Recommended places to always be sure of a game of Omaha hi-lo are
UltimateBet,
Ladbrokes
and
Bet365
3.
Loyalty schemes/ cashback/ bonuses
The poker companies want you to stay around, and will compete for your business. The more you play, the greater the amount of loyalty points and freebies will be pushed your way. There are rakeback schemes where you earn a proportion of the company’s earnings; Freerolls where completely free entry to a multi-table tournament is handed
out; or prepaid satellite tournament entries are given out for free if you play a certain number of games.
If you become a good customer for a company, or if you’re a good active customer and then stop playing, you’ll get incentives to make sure you log on to their site and play the tables.
Good companies for freebies and loyalty points are:
PokerRoom,
StansPoker or
Pacific Poker
