Online Poker Players Dealt Bad Beats By Poker Sites

"There is a wealth of information in books and online discussing proper play," said Menschner. "While that information has helped thousands become better poker players, it won't help them overcome the huge rake going to the sites. Low limit players who want to be successful need to find a low risk, low rake game to build their bankroll and move up to the higher limits." 

Rake is the percentage of money taken from the pot by the poker site to make money on the games. While the percentage of rake is generally the same across all limits, low limit players need to win more to overcome the money taken from the pot.

"Rake has always been an issue for low limit players. Years ago, when online poker was still fairly new, poker sites offered players many sign up and monthly bonuses. Those bonuses were enough to help low limit players offset the rake and move up in limits. Poker sites don't offer nearly as many bonuses anymore, so low limit players need to work a lot harder to move up."

Recently, many online poker sites started offering a new one table tournament structure called Double or Nothing Sit & Go tournaments. In these ten person tournaments, the five remaining players win double their money back. Menschner believes this new structure is the perfect game for new and low limit poker players trying to build their bankroll. 

"The game varies from regular Sit & Go tournaments, and most players have not yet adjusted to the new format. Those who learn proper strategy have a major advantage over those who have not adjusted. Plus, the rake is low for these tournaments."

According to Menschner, there are other online games that are great for bankroll building, particularly split pot poker games. But nothing compares to the Double or Nothing tournaments.

"It's the best bankroll building opportunity I've seen since the days of bonuses."
