Ongame Launches Android Poker App

Real money Android poker app from Ongame bwin poker has now released a real money poker app for Android phones. The new Android poker client is based on the same mobile interface that is already available in the iPhone poker client as of January 2011.

“Android was always the next step for us after launching the world’s first real-money poker app for iPhone six months ago” – says Berthold Kao, Product Manager for mobile at bwin.party. “The real-money iPhone app that we developed with Ongame has been a tremendous success, and we also believe that the Android app has significant potential. Building a mobile application is not just about format and technology. Delivering a mobile application that appeals to the mass market requires you to reinvent the whole poker experience.”

Having increased its market share among smartphones in Western Europe from 4% to 36% during 2010, Android is not only the most popular software choice for smartphones, but it is also the fastest growing operating system ever. Android is expected to grow at approximately 37% per annum between 2010 and 2015, according to International Data Corporation, May 2011.

“Mobile is a no longer a nice-to-have feature, it is what the digital consumer expects”, says David Pittel, Managing Director of Ongame Network. “Poker players are an ideal target audience for a mobile app, they are tech-savvy and keen to enjoy games using multiple platforms. The question now is not whether or not they own a smartphone; the question is whether they prefer iOS or Android. We are seeing a huge interest from all the major operators within our poker networks.”

The app is available for free download at www.bwin.com/androidpoker

Online Poker Tells
A “tell” is a sign that gives away a players’ hand or strategy. It may indicate that a poker player holds a good hand, a poor hand or he is bluffing, and in live play can be determined by finger tapping or shuffling in the seat, or by some distinguishable action that attracts your attention. When playing poker online, physical actions are not discernable, so it is important to identify when a player is telling you something that you need to take notice of.

Double Hold'em - Basic Strategy Part 1
If you’re looking to get involved in PartyPoker’s new game “Double Hold’em”, but aren’t sure where to start, then look no further. Here is the first part of our basic strategy guide for this innovative Texas Hold’em poker variant.

From Online To Live Poker
Thanks to online poker, it is not unusual to encounter players at your local card room or casino that have never played in a live poker tournament before. Many players learn the basics on the internet before dipping their toe into the murky waters of the bricks and mortar casino and they will find live poker more intimidating than the online equivalent.

Poker Table Position Strategies
Experienced students of poker strategy will be fully aware of the disciplines required to take advantage of good positions at the poker table. However it is an area that not many beginners are familiar with and many terms may be alien to them, leaving them at a disadvantage in both ring and tournament play. This is something that it is crucial that novices learn and also seek to take advantage of if they see poor positional play from other players.

Poker is a multi-faceted game and there are many areas a player will need to work on, in order to become the best player he or she possibly can be. It is often said that position is the key to winning poker games; bankroll management is cited by many as the most vital of skills to learn in order to make it; timing is thought by many to crucial. Of course, all of these things are important.

Poker Betting Patterns
Read any article relating to poker strategy and it’s highly likely that you’ll encounter the term “betting patterns”. To beat a poker game, it is essential to take on board as much information as possible in order to make informed decisions, and studying your opponents and the manner of their bets is a huge part of that.
