MyPokerCorner.com

In looking at MyPokerCorner.com, a definite paradigm shift in poker portals comes to mind. As online poker portals become more and more popular and prevalent, the nature of the differences among them begin to change. When there are now hundreds of sites with Poker articles, poker rules, a poker store, online poker room reviews, and listings of poker tournaments and poker freerolls, comparing one poker portal from another becomes less a matter of what they offer and shifts to an issue of the quality and quantity of what they offer: how much of all these things a site has, and how good they are compared to the other sites. MyPokerCorner.com has more of all these than the other poker portals do, and theirs is better too.

A perfect example is their Tournament News page - the "Live Tournament Reporter" - which has smartly organized all their reports into 5 easily browsable tabs: WSOP (World Series of Poker), WSOPC (World Series of Poker Circuit), WPT (World Poker Tour), EPT (European Poker Tour), and Special tournaments. It's like the difference between reading a one-page newsletter and a five-page newspaper. MyPokerCorner also has RSS feeds you can easily add to your email or website.

Another example is their Poker Store which, unlike those comparatively few other poker portals that also have stores, sells more than just books, DVDs, clothing, and poker chips sets. The MyPokerCorner.com poker store also sells poker-themed jewelry, video games (for both the video game consoles - Sony PS2 & PSP, Game Boy Advanced, Game Cube, Wii, X Box, X Box 360, Plug & Play, and your PC or Mac), interior décor (ie. from posters, wallpaper borders, and framed wall art to cookware, and servingware to lamps, blankets, and clocks), poker tables and furniture, and more. And each category of item has pages of selections, far more than any site we've yet seen.

Since the birth of YouTube and the self-produced streaming video craze, no poker portal can call itself at the top of its game without streaming videos of their own, and MyPokerCorner.com has got them aplenty. Learn how to perform card and poker chip tricks and hear Phil Hellmuth talk about the car accident he got into while showing off during an Ultimate Bet promotional shoot.

And for as far as how MyPokerCorner.com helps with your Texas Holdem strategy, let's start with their awesome odds calculator. Again, a site that doesn't have one of these is a gyp these days, plain and simple. And keeping with their commitment to quality, their odds calculator doesn't just help with Texas Holdem Strategy but with Omaha, 7-Card Stud, Razz, and other poker games as well. Beyond that, there's also a section of poker articles as comprehensive, thorough, and well-laid out as any Texas Holdem strategy book or course.

MyPokerCorner lists daily and weekly schedules of poker freerolls at over a dozen of the top online poker rooms, customizable to your local time zone. A convenient logo identifies which games are open to U.S. players. The site also lists all the major online poker tournaments upcoming, again customizable for each time zone.

We could go and on about how much this site has to offer, because it has so much. But we'll wrap it up here and now with a look at just one other section in this veritable poker mall and that the poker directory. From the directory, you can find your way to onlinepoker rooms, poker leagues, poker forums, poker freerolls, poker supplies, poker tools, bonus codes, casinos, rakeback programs, non-english poker sites, even other poker portals and poker directories. Now that's a comprehensive directory! All the more reason to make MyPokerCorner.com your poker corner.
