players which means they play many starting hands and don&#8217;t necessarily worry about losing money as they just want action.<\/p>\n<p>All three sites obviously all have cash games, big tournaments, and sit and go tournaments.\u00a0 These are different games of course, but all fun in their own ways.\u00a0 And it all depends of what you prefer to play.\u00a0 Some people play exclusively cash games including no limit and limit poker.\u00a0 Some people just want to play big tournaments and go for the big prize which of course is what we typically see on TV including the world series of poker.\u00a0 And then some people prefer to play the 10 people sit and go tournaments which are super fun as well.\u00a0 Whatever you prefer make sure the poker room\u00a0 you decide to play at has what you want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some people, or maybe even many people, don&#8217;t realize online poker is still around.\u00a0 After the terrible day more than ten years ago when online poker was shut down for USA players thousands of people stopped playing.\u00a0 It was a terrible day in many ways for online poker players.\u00a0 Many were making a living back then playing poker online and all of a sudden that was taken away from them&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-75","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.4deucespoker.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.4deucespoker.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.4deucespoker.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.4deucespoker.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.4deucespoker.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.4deucespoker.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":76,"href":"https:\/\/www.4deucespoker.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75\/revisions\/76"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.4deucespoker.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.4deucespoker.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.4deucespoker.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
