Different sites have different tools designed to help cultivate or teach the game to you. Here’s three we’ve found to be superior.
3) Everest Poker’s Training Room- Playing for play money at many sites is a good way to learn how to play hold’em incorrectly, which is why Everest Poker gives you a better arena to start to learn the game, with the Training Room. Instead of random players, you’ll play against three competent computer opponents in either Fixed, Pot Limit, or No Limit hold’em, giving you a fair way to properly learn the game with opponents you know will be playing well, and then be able to take your new knowledge from both the training tools and the Training Room and crush your foes.
2) Party Poker’s Poker Trainer- Party Poker gives players practice tables, and basic strategy and a few videos, but what gives them a unique and awesome edge over most sites is their starting hand requirement chart, that plugs in any hand from any position, and quickly tells you exactly how powerful or weak a prospective hand is from any position, with any amount of players. A useful tool before and even during play, the Poker Trainer is a useful tool for rookie and pro alike.
1) Sky Poker’s Sky Poker School- A lot of sites give players a short primer of poker rules and some basic written strategy. Sky Poker has decided to give players a lot more than just a few tips to go on, with comprehensive video strategy articles, databases of hand ranks and even strategy of more complex games like omaha and omaha hi-lo. With all these tools to use, and basic rules, etiquette, and rake guides also available, you don’t just learn how to play, you learn how to win with in depth strategy.
