I want to play online poker for free with cash prizes or qualification for cash tournaments. I know most of them do this, but what is the best one to do it with?

I play texas holdem on pokerstars but I am looking for any website that would allow us to join a room together and play with each other, does anyone know something that would work for this ?

Do you have to report your earnings from playing poker online to the IRS on your taxes?

If so, is there a designated amount that doesn’t need to be reported – and everything above that does?

If it matters by state – I am curious about California.

Also, the way the monies are received from the poker site are via check.

I need a good website that teaches how to play poker. I learned how to play over 10 years ago, but I cannot remember how to play. So I guess I need a refresher course.
Thank you ahead of time.

I am looking for a Comprehensive website dedicated to teaching players about Texas Hold ‘em poker.
A website that contains very basic guides for the beginners of the beginners about poker, how to play it, starting strategies, Terminology and pretty much in-depth guides to basic aspects of poker.
As well as guides for intermediates or people who know how to play the game, just not very well, to improve their strategies, learn new strategies, guides to betting, bluffing, learning odds as well as other aspects such as dealing and different shuffling techniques.

So is there a website that is free to join and use, and covers ALL the aspects listed above and more? Making sure it’s easy to understand?

If so please list it down, if it is more than one site containing various things listed above please put them down as well.

Thank you!

In Texas holdem, there is a pair of Kings showing and a pair of Queens showing and a four. One person has an Ace and a three, and the other person has a pair of eight. Who wins? Is it the person with two high pair with the Ace kicker or is it the person with a pair of eights in their hands? Thanks for your help.

I am thinking about going down to vegas for fun to play in a couple of holdem tournaments. What are the best hands to play with to start and what is a good strategy to last long in a big tournament?
