One of the most important attributes of a good poker player is patience. This is also a great attribute in any one hoping to learn the game. Don't expect it to be easy - if it was, every one would play well.

But the biggest mistake that new players make? By far the biggest mistake, and one of the most common mistakes, is to learn a little about poker and then think you know it all.

Thinking you know it all, means that you think there is nothing left to learn, so you stop learning.

You can see this type of player any day on any poker site - he's the guy (or gal) that gets beat and proceeds to abuse the winning player, telling them what they did wrong and how useless they are.

If you want to make money from playing online poker, then we suggest that a good place to start is our Poker Lessons section.

This month we are looking at the (relatively) new poker room Pay No Rake which was launched about 6 months ago on the Action Poker Network.

The Action Poker Network is home to poker rooms such as (surprise) Action Poker, and Tiger Gaming. Traffic is low at this network, and they do not accept playres from America.

The concept behind PayNoRake.com is, as you might have guessed, that players can get all their rake paid back to them if they play enough.

Rake is paid back on a scale depending on how much the player has played in the previous 24 hour period, which reaches a max of 100% rake back for the busiest players.

The rake back amount is calculated and paid back automatically by the site, so the player need not do anything except play poker.

This site is definitely worth checking out if you play any reasonable amount of online poker.

It is possible to play hold'em poker online for free, and there are a couple of ways that you can do this.

The first, and best, way is by using the various 'no deposit' bonuses that are available. We will be adding our own 'No Deposit Poker Bonuses' section soon, but in the meantime if you are interested in this type of bonus you should check out all the available offers at No Deposit Poker.

These no deposit required bonuses can be a great way for beginners to learn the finer points of playing for real money without actually having to put their own money up. And some players might even develop a sizeable bankroll from them.

Anyway, who can say no to free money?

The second way to play poker online for free is by using the fake poker money option that is available on most, if not all, online poker sites.

That second option we think is not a good idea. To find out why not, read our article Free Online Poker Fake Money.

This article just might make you think again before playing poker with fake money.
