Are you looking for a way to add a few dollars to your monthly budget? Would you like to do it from the comfort of your own home? Why not earn extra money playing poker? Here are the answers to some of those questions that have no doubt, been plaguing you, the burgeoning online poker player.

How much poker knowledge do I need?
This is a great question. When I first started I had no idea how to play online poker. I couldn't remember whether a straight beat a flush or vice versa. And I certainly didn't understand all of the lingo that went with it; flop, gut shot, turn, river? And what the heck is big slick? Or a full boat? When I started to play, I joined the free tables, where people play for the experience, not for the money. I learned the basic rules of Texas Holdem, and how to play a basic poker game. So it is easy to build up your poker knowledge without spending a lot of money to do so. Do you need a lot of basic knowledge? Not to start, but you need to be actively building up your knowledge as you go along.

How Should I Choose a Poker Site?
Again an important decision. You don't want to go into this decision quickly and without thought. The reason is, poker sites want your business, and some of them will pay you for it. This payment comes in the form of sign up bonus money. Sites will give you a percentage of your initial deposit in bonus money that is added to your account. In some cases this will be 25%, but some sites will give you up to 200% deposit bonus. The catch is, you have to play a certain number of hands, or wager a certain amount of money before this bonus is released. But, a learning poker player can benefit greatly from these deposit bonuses as it will increase their bankroll while they're learning the ropes. The other thing you should research is poker information websites. They will often have special offers in order to have you "click through" from their site to the poker website of your choice. They will also often have negotiated special offers with the poker sites in order to provide you with the best possible deposit bonus. So don't sell yourself short when beginning your online poker journey.

Okay, I'm ready to put some money into poker online. How do I do this? The poker sites want you to bring money to their tables, so they try to make this as easy as possible for you to do. Probably the most reliable and well established means to do so is to use Neteller. Think of Neteller being to online poker what Paypal is to Ebay. It will allow you to transfer money to and from your bank account into and out of the poker sites with the greatest of ease. Just go to neteller.com and follow the instructions there.

That will give you a good start in the world of online poker. It really isn't as daunting as you may think, and you never know, you may end up making a tidy income from it as well!

Good luck!
