Online Texas Holdem Cash-Games In 2012 – Which Is The Best Site For Online Texas Holdem Cash Games

Here We Look At 5 Of The Best Online Poker Sites And Ask Which Is The Best For Cash Game Players?

 

by The Poker Dog

 

After playing online Texas Holdem cash games for a while, you become familiar with the individual nuances of each site. The players, the bonuses, the software client and compatibility with poker software tools all combine to give you an overall impression.

With sites you have not visited yet things can seem a little confusing by comparison. The ‘newness’ making an objective comparison difficult. Here at Killer Holdem we urge all our readers to stop and ask themselves whether they are playing at their current site for solid financial reasons, or more due to familiarity – after all, a far more profitable poker site may be just a couple of clicks away!

As a profitable Texas Holdem player there are many criteria on which you might judge the potential of a poker room including:

  • Game Selection: No use playing at the softest site if there is only 1 table running at your buy-in level.

  • Ability Of Opponents: There are major differences between sites here, sure you can beat the ‘toughest game’ at your level… but if there are weaker games in easy reach then you are basically massaging your ego instead of growing your bankroll!

  • Bonuses And Incentives: Yes they matter, reload bonuses and VIP rewards can often add 10% or more to your profits every month – and that is too much to ignore.

  • Software Client / Features: Not just the overall look and feel, the ability to resize tables, easily take notes on opponents, compatibility with poker software tools and ability to run without glitches on your PC.

With these in mind here are brief summaries of the top rated Texas Holdem Poker Sites:

 

#1 – Carbon Poker – Our Ranking 9.0 / 10 - US Friendly With Awesome Software

 

This is a smaller poker site which has recently started significant growth. The top rating is achieved through a great combination of factors. Some of the loosest tables you will find at any American players allowed poker site is a great start, the software is outstanding (check out the animations!!) and the bonuses and promotions generous – with many easy deposit options for players worldwide. One thing I really love with Carbon Poker is the extra-soft Bad-Beat Jackpot tables, this jackpot regularly grows to over a million dollars - and with so many fish and the tables you will be raking in the pots while you wait for that big cash!!

Our exclusive bonus code PBKLUB will get you a super-sized 150% to $750 first deposit matched bonus + free $11 SNG token on top! Make sure you check out the awesome Carbon Poker for yourself right now!.

 

 

#2 – Titan Poker – Our Ranking 8.8 / 10 - The Worst Players Anywhere (A Must See!)

 

Titan Poker, leading site on the iPoker Network are currently in the 2nd spot in the traffic rankings where they are in a heated battle with Party Poker. The international reach of this site, together with their reload bonuses and VIP cash-back program make them a profitable choice for non-US players. The players at Titan Poker are (rightly in our opinion) regarded as the worst at any online poker site. Our only (minor) gripe is with the software which appears a little dated and plain compared to some sites.

You can claim a masisve bonus by using exclusive bonus code PBKLUB - this is a 200% to $2000 bonus plus $20 instant cash bonus (I will ensure this gets paid direct to your account 48 hours of depositing ( just $30+ minimum required using code PBKLUB). You will be very glad that you found this site – the players have to be seen with your own eyes to be believed!!

 

 

#3 – Red Kings Poker – Our Ranking 8.4 / 10 - Choice Of 6 BIG Welcome Bonuses

 

Red Kings Poker are part of the cool OnGame Network, a group of brands which includes many sports-betting sites - keeping the games soft and the promotions generous! What I like about Red Kings is the soft games and choice of 6 different sign-up bonuses, you will also get an additional $300 bonus the first time you get dealt two red kings in a cash game (goes up to $500 if you lose the hand!!).

This is a great site with a community feel, it is much more than just an 'alternative' to the bigger sites and fully deserves to be checked out on its own merits.. that choice of 6 sign-up bonuses is just the icing on the cake.

 

 

#4 – Pokerstars – Our Ranking 8.4 / 10 - The Biggest Poker Site, But Is It The Best?

 

Pokerstars are actually twice the size of their nearest rivals (Titan Poker and Party Poker) and showing no signs of slowing down their growth just yet. This makes the selection of Texas Holdem cash games unrivalled, ranging from the micro stakes through to many $1000’s for the high rollers. The software is simply fantastic, not only smooth-running and player-friendly but customizable too. The sign-up bonus for new players is $600 which can be claimed over 3 separate deposits (within 90 days, use Pokerstars Marketing Code PSP3108 from the drop-down 'where did you hear about us list on registration). Pokerstars also offer the best loyalty reward schemes of any online poker site. Every non-US player serious about online poker should at least find out what makes Pokerstars so popular - my bet is that you'll like what you see!

 

 

#5 – Party Poker – Our Ranking 8.0 / 10 - Famous For Easy Games!

 

The original poker site is still the world’s 3rd largest despite closing it’s doors to the US in late 2006. With the global popularity of poker this site is still growing – and still innovating with some great games and promotions. Texas Holdem cash game players can expect loose and wild tables and generous (and numerous) reload bonuses and cash-back offers. These start with 100% to $500 on your initial deposit with bonus code SNGPLANET and will continue each and every month you play. A small gripe with this site is that the software is a little ‘resource intensive’ on your computer, however the profitable tables more than make up for this! Check them out for yourself today.
