1.6 Lets Get Started
So, enough of the introductions, lets get started, and lets start turning your $25 into $1,000 learning while you go along.
In the first part of this course, you will learn a fundamental strategy to get you started.
The most profitable site that we found in our testing for this stage of the course and these stake levels is Ladbrokes Poker which we found to be over 47% more profitable than other sites at these stake levels using the strategy you will learn in the early stages of this course.
So during this stage of the course, we are going to practice what we learn on Ladbrokes Poker. This is a beginner’s site that is full of fish, and this is where we are going to build up our $25 into a more substantial bankroll.

As a bonus, Ladbrokes offers an excellent 100% bonus up to $750 which is special for the members of the Poker Professor community - the standard bonus is only up to $500. So by depositing $25 you can earn a bonus of another $25. To receive your welcome bonus you will need to accumulate 30 times your initial deposit in Player points so for a deposit of $25 then you would need to accumulate 750 Player points in the first 30 days. Once you have earnt the points then you then have to submit a claim to Ladbrokes and they will pay you the bonus. If you fail to earn enough player points in the first 30 days then all is not lost as you can claim a 50% bonus as long as you have earnt 50% of the required points.
USA Players
Ladbrokes Poker which is the site we recommend above does not accept US based players and so we have looked at our test results for the next best site in our results which also accepted US players and we found that the 2nd placed site in our test results accepted US players.
The most suitable and most profitable site we found as a result of our testing that also accepts US players was Bodog Poker. Our testing found that Bodog Poker was 42% more profitable than other similar sites using the strategies in this course and playing at the stake levels that we will be guiding you through in this early stage of the course.
Bodog Poker is one of the most well known online poker and casino/sportsbook operators around and in our testing we found it to be an absolute gold mine at these stake levels.
As a bonus, Bodog offers you a 10% bonus on your first deposit with no upper limit. So by depositing $25 Bodog will give you a small bonus or you can deposit more if you would like to obtain a bigger bonus.
