High Stakes Poker was unique among televised poker series because it did not take place in a tournament setting. Instead, the program showed a high stakes ring game. The minimum buy-in to the game is US$100,000 , but players have bought in for as much as $1,000,000, such as Daniel Negreanu in Season 1 and Brad Booth in Season 3. In Season 2, Gus Hansen won $575,700 with four fives, beating Daniel Negreanu's full house. For part of the fourth season, the minimum buy in was $500,000. The first episode with the minimum $500,000 buy-in was broadcast on November 5, 2007. The minimum cash buy in for the fifth season increased to $200,000 the largest buy-in for an entire run of a television series. Tom Dwan and Phil Ivey bought in for $500,000 in season six. Unlike tournament poker, the chips involved represent real money. Season seven
debuted on its new GSN Saturday night time slot. Norm Macdonald replaced Gabe Kaplan as the host and Kara Scott conducted interviews from the poker room floor.

There are so many forms of the game that it can be tricky choosing exactly what to do particularly when you want to play poker online for real money. Considering two of the most popular versions of poker, should you choose Texas Hold’Em or Omaha Hold’Em?
Of course, the basic game is the same in both versions – Build the best five-card hand that you can and hope to beat your opponents. The major difference is that in Texas Hold’Em, often known as just plain Hold’em, you can choose any five cards from your hand and the community boards. In Omaha Hold’em, which is generally known as just plain Omaha, two cards must come from your hand. As a result, the potential card combinations are far greater with Texas Hold’Em.
The result of this is significant. For a start, in Omaha you either have the best hand or you don’t, there is not as much room for movement. So trying to deceive your opponent when you have low scoring cards is not usually as effective as it is when you play Hold’Em. The flexibility of Hold’Em also means that there tends to be more action in the game than there is with Omaha. This may impact your enjoyment of the game.
Omaha tends to be more of a tactical game and so where Hold’Em players tend to raise and re-raise, this can be problematic when playing Omaha. Another factor to consider is that Hold’Em is a quicker game, so when you play online you will get more action.

Pretty much every online poker player starts at the low-stakes tables when they decide to move into real-money games, and the reasons are pretty obvious. A lot of players will tell you that low-stakes games aren't profitable, but that's generally because low-stakes players find themselves in on way more hands than the should be. It's possible and in fact practical to play low-stakes poker for profit if you are comfortable with a longer, slower burn at the table with less action. Think Tight Aggressive and crank it up to about 10% past your usual play.

Preflop Strategies

As with any hold ‘em game, position plays a huge factor in low-stakes online poker games. Early position preflop players want to restrict their play to only the absolute best hands: AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AQ and AK. Limp in with a pocket pair of TT or lower and AJ is always more tempting than it should be. You're better off folding everything else when playing from the blinds or immediately after.
