Most players will "dabble" at online poker. Many people will sign up, load up their cash, and after that quickly watch their whole bankroll go bye bye. It will not have to be that way. Online poker can be beat if you simply follow one rule.

Most quality poker players will pride themselves on either their technical prowess of the the game or their unparalleled ability to read people. I cry hogwash. Sure, this plays a small part in whether or not you are a consistent winner, however the key word is "small."

Let's get right to it. Your poker success or failure comes down to table selection. Who you play with is much more important than how you play. Online poker is absolutely full of good and very good players. They're going to take your money day and night just because they do it for a living and play 60-100 hours a week online. Most of the online players are going to simply be better than you. Guess what? You don't have to play with the "big boys.
