Criteria to Choose Best Online Poker Room Readers have asked us why or how we selected the sites that comprise our list of the  top poker rooms online . Here, we share the criteria used so readers can consider the factors for themselves, including who ranked highest for each category. Security and Privacy When you're playing poker for real money, you want as much reassurance that your credit info is safe, your identity and contact info won't be sold and that game conditions are as safe and as fair as possible (e.g. that the software isn't vulnerable to manipulation; players aren't colluding because a system of checks is in place; etc.). Secure servers are a necessity. Sites should elaborate on the encryption system that they use. All good sites should address the above issues to your satisfaction.

The Protected Flop Most experienced poker players we met at Pokerbroz understand the concept of a protected Pot. "Don't bluff into a multi-way pot on the river." In limit poker any time there are several opponents at least one of them has you beat and will probably call, if the pot is large. The more opponents still in the hand, decreases the chance that a bluff will be successful.

In no limit Hold'em it is sometimes profitable to call a small raise with marginal cards, to see a flop, if your call cannot be reraised. If you hit the flop, you have a good chance of de-stacking your opponent, with a well disguised hand. A situation similar to the "Protected Pot" occurs if there are several limpers before you. Most players will not raise without Aces or Kings. Even players with Queens would rather see the flop cheaply and they really don't wa...
