Celebrity endorsements are one thing…I mean, who cares if some trendy star says “Yes, I love Tropical Poker” (we’re looking at you, Cindy!). What really matters is when the people who know the game come and play regularly…or better still, actually develop and run the site themselves!
On this page, we’ll give you a rundown of the sites where the top poker players go when they want to play poker online.
- PokerStars — well, the obvious place to start. Sure, there are Hollywood stars listed on the site, but the real draw is the true poker professionals who play here and nowhere else (online, anyway). Players like Chris Moneymaker, Daniel Negranu, and Joe Cada (if you don’t know who they are, may we suggest that you switch to some other kind of casinos instead?). If names don’t mean much to you, how about the $40 Million guaranteed World Series of Online Poker? How about a Guinness World Record for the most people playing at one time?
- Doyles Room — sometimes one big name can outshine all the rest. The “Texas Dolly” who pretty much created the game of Texas Hold ‘em as we know it today, Doyle Brunson lends more than just his poker face to this site; he’s the owner, operator, and even the grand prize (well, you don’t get to keep him, just travel with him to Vegas. All things considered, it’s probably for the best). But this ain’t no vanity website; Doyle works his Texas butt off to provide the best online poker room through constant software improvements, user-requested features, plenty of six-figure guaranteed tournaments, and even a USA online casino on the side when the table isn’t loving you like it should.
- Full Tilt Poker — yes, we’ve mentioned them before. But with Howard Lederer, Phil Ivey, Andy Bloch, Mike Matusow, Jennifer Harman, Chris Ferguson, and 60-odd other poker professionals on board, we’d be crazy to leave them off of the “celebrity” page. They’re at Full Tilt for a reason, and it isn’t because of the cafeteria food.
