Online high stakes poker games

Since the “High Stakes Poker” TV series has been launched, the interest in this high level poker game has substantially increased. Is obvious that watching professional players like Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu and Gus Hansen, playing No Limit Texas Hold 'em with bricks of $100 notes, makes anyone dream to join a high stakes poker game some day.

Knowing that, all major online poker rooms extended their offer of ring tables with higher stakes. Most poker sites have ring tables that go up to $200/$400 and one or two online poker rooms actually have $500/$1000 no limit tables where you can watch poker professionals playing for six figures pots.

These high stakes tables attract many spectators, but unfortunately the number of online high stake players is rather small. Though, you will always find one or two ring tables where pros make the poker game look like the “Clash of the Titans”.

Playing a high stakes poker can be tempting, but at this level more players lose huge amounts of money, the number of winning player being small. It’s true that a good game of high stakes poker can make you very rich, but in the same time can make you very poor. That makes the more exciting and attracts the spectators.

The largest pot won in the “High Stakes Poker” TV series worth $919,600, was won by Tom Dwan against Barry Greenstein in the season 5. In online real money poker the biggest pot won so far is $634,777 at a Pot Limit Omaha game. The winner of this huge pot is Cole South and the runner up is Ziigmund.

Is expected that in the near future the number of online high stakes players to slowly increase, the current medium stakes players moving slowly up as they improve their poker skills. It’s safe to say that the high stakes poker actions will definitely increase attracting more and more players and spectators.
