This months feature site for Coach Rakeback is Cake Poker.
Cake Poker is a great choice for all levels of players considering you get access to rakeback of 33% on top of the first deposit bonus of 110% up to $600. This poker room offers the widest selection of deposit options I have seen and most importantly charges no deposit fees on your money.
The good news for everyone is that Cake Poker accepts US players, this leads to a much wider player pool which means more tables for everyone. More players also means more fish which is what I really care about when looking at what site to play at.
The final thing worth knowing about Cake Poker is that players are not allowed to use any form of HUDs (heads up displays), these are tools that allow players to build significant databases of information on your playing style. By outlawing the use of these it means that everyone on the table is on a level playing field and the best players will be winning the most money, not those that are using software for an unfair advantage.

Hand of the Day - Value Bet The River
Value betting is a very difficult part of the game as it takes in a large number of factors &ndash we need to consider our opponents, the board texture, stack sizes and the pot size.
Here is a hand I played recently at 200NL, my opponent was a standard TAG type who was yet to do anything out of line.
SB ($446.95)
BB ($307.65)
Hero (UTG) ($232)
MP ($265)
CO ($200)
Button ($403.55)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with Qd Ad
Hero bets $10, 3 folds, SB calls $9, 1 fold
