Now You Can Play Texas Hold ’em At An Online Casino

Looking to play an action-packed game of Texas Hold Em anytime day or night? Keep your car in the garage and hop on the Internet for a quick trip to an online casino.

Texas Hold Em is sweeping the world and you can find thousands of games going on at nearly any online casino. Playing Texas Hold Em online is actually better than playing at a physical casino. Not only do you avoid the expense of travelling to a casino, but you avoid the crowds, the distractions, and the cigarette smoke in your eyes from the player sitting next to you.

But that’s all you’ll avoid because playing Texas Hold Em at an online casino comes with all of the thrills and some pretty big pots.

Not only can you find an open seat anytime that you want one, but many of the top online casinos sponsor Texas Hold Em tournaments where the prize money can get pretty big.

The rules for playing Texas Hold Em online are pretty much the same as they are in physical casinos, but you should always check for casino-specific variations just to be safe.

If you are not an experienced Texas Hold Em player, you can get wiped out pretty quickly if you’re seated at an online casino table with the “big boys”. That’s why many online casinos offer $.50-$1.00 Low Limit Texas Hold Em online poker games. With stakes that low you can afford to make mistakes while you hone your strategy without losing a bundle.

Once your skill levels improve you can move on to $10 limit games where you’ll be matched against more skilled players but you won’t have to be worried about being clobbered by the high rollers who are playing online No-Limit Texas Hold Em.

Just because your bankroll isn’t as big as you wish it was, you can still take advantage on the online casino Texas Hold Em tournament action by looking for $10 Limit Sit-n-Go Tournaments which are limited to 10 players at a time.

Once you are confident of your abilities to play Texas Hold Em at the smaller online casino games, you can try your luck sitting down to play at the No Limit Texas Hold Em table with a buy-in as low as $50. And when you really reach the top you can even play at multiple Texas Hold Em tables at the same time. That’s something that you can only do at an online casino!

With many online casinos offering first-time Texas Hold Em players financial incentives like new player bonus dollars and match-play credits, it just makes sense to treat yourself to an online game of Texas Hold Em instead of packing up the family and heading out to some resort casino where you’ll spend hundreds of dollars just on room and meals. Texas Hold Em and online casinos — it’ a sure thing.

Ortiz, Jr. Wins Fourth Straight Shoemaker Award

Edited Press Release

Rosario took the richest race of the weekend, the $6 million GI Longines Breeders' Cup Classic with Knicks Go (Paynter) and Friday's GI NetJets Juvenile Fillies aboard 'Rising Star' Echo Zulu (Gun Runner).

The Shoemaker Award is named in honor of one of the greatest jockeys in the history of Thoroughbred racing. Bill Shoemaker, who captured the Kentucky Derby four times, won 8,833 races in a career that spanned more than 40 years. In 1987, at age 56, Shoemaker won the Breeders' Cup Classic aboard Ferdinand at Hollywood Park.
