Tournament poker may have taken the world by storm but cash games are still the lifeblood of poker. And, what’s more, they’re back in vogue thanks to the brilliant TV show High Stakes Poker.

More importantly, if you know what you’re doing, it’s a format in which you can consistently make good money. So if you’re fed up of getting knocked out of tournaments by bad beats from shocking players, it’s time you gave ring games a serious look.

While your local cardroom will probably start the action at an already fairly steep £0.50/£1, due to its overhead costs and rake and/or hourly charge, the internet caters to players at every level.
