Online Poker Rankings: Cash Games

Finding Your Best Online Poker Cash Game Site

Each of the tables on this page rank the best online poker sites for no limit hold'em and other no limit and pot limit games. The scores for each site are calculated using:

1. Average Net Cost. Net Cost is equal to the rake charged by the site, minus the site's equivalent rakeback. Since rake varies by stakes, and rakeback rewards typically increase with your volume of play, each site's score is based on the average net cost for a range of different volumes of play.
2. Average Ranking. We have further ranked each site for 6 different categories of player (based on volume of play). Each site's score is based on the site's average ranking across all 6 categories.

Table size is one of the biggest factors in determining which online poker site is best for no limit (and pot limit) poker because rake often varies by table size, and some sites offer promotions for some table sizes, but not others. Some online poker sites do not offer no limit or pot limit poker for all table sizes.

These tables answer these commonly asked questions:

• What is the best online poker site for full table no limit poker?
• What is the best online poker site for 6-max no limit cash games?
• What is the best online poker site for no limit heads-up poker?

Although these are better questions than the more generic "What's the best no limit poker site?", they're still not the right questions! The question you should be asking is, "What is the best online poker site FOR ME?", and the answer to that question depends on many different factors. For NL and PL cash game players, these tables address the second factor: what table size do you prefer?

While many sites try to answer the question, "What is the best online poker site?", we instead answer the question, "What is the best online poker site for ME?", because your playing preferences will affect the answer! Click to Tweet

Where Should You Play Real Money No Limit Poker?

The next question you should ask is "What is the best (full table / 6-handed / heads-up) no limit site for my volume of play?". That is, how much rake (or fees) do you typically pay per year? Since most online poker sites give higher rakeback rewards for higher volume players, your volume of play has a huge impact on which online poker site is best for you. This is why we have broken down each of these ranking tables into an additional 18 NL/PL Cash Game ranking tables (6 different player categories for each table size):

1. Casual (rake <$100/year)
2. Enthusiast (rake = $100 - $1,000/year)
3. Amateur (rake = $1,000 - $5,000/year)
4. Semi-Pro (rake = $5,000 - $25,000/year)
5. Professional (rake = $25,000 - $100,000/year)
6. Hardcore Pro (rake >$100,000/year)
