Cool Hand Poker caters to all players, especially the new or beginner player. They state, “We’re not into high stakes games or pushing players to become pros.” They want you to become a better poker player, by taking your time and growing your skills by using their online poker school. But, they add, “If you’re looking for some serious action you can always take part in the tournaments we offer.”
Their poker school covers everything from poker lingo to poker rules, as well as hand rankings and strategies. Cool Hand Poker even has a section regarding the best starting hands to play for those new to the game.
Cool Hand Poker’s section on Top 10 Poker Tips won’t help you win every hand, but should certainly reduce your number of losses. Because the better you play, the more poker becomes more about skill and less about gambling.
Their site offers play in the following games:
Texas Hold ’em and Omaha is offered in both cash games and tournaments while 7 Card Stud and 5 Card Stud is offered only in tournament play.
They also have a $2,500 Guaranteed Sunday Fun-Day Tournament. The $20 + 2 buy-in gets you 1500 chips to start with re-buys only $5.00. And, Cool Hand Poker is giving away 3 golden tickets away to the winners of the main event in the Sunday Fun-day Tournaments for July, August and September, which qualifies the holder for an exciting opportunity to win €1,000,000.
Along with all of this, they offer additional promotions to add to the fun. You’ll have the opportunity to be playing regularly for such prizes as;
- MP3 player
- Music vouchers
- Gaming consoles
- Laptops
- Online shopping vouchers
- Trips to your favorite destinations
- Land tournament entries
- And more!
They also have a rather unique sign-up bonus. While most sites match only your initial deposit, Cool Hand Poker will match the first $350 even if it takes several deposits to get to the $350 total. The minimum deposit amount is $20 so they make it easy to get started. Once you’ve made your purchase, simply start playing and they’ll release your bonus to you in $10 increments every time you play 100 raked hands.
Please see Cool Hand Poker for full details. If you have any questions they have live chat to go along with normal email service.
