I've been playing poker online since the year 2000. I lost more than I won for a few years, until I got frustrated enough to buckle down and improve my game.

Since then, I've moved overseas for my job and discovered the wide-open world of European online gaming. Here are my favorite places to play poker online in Europe:

Chili Poker is part of the ipoker network, always a good sign for an online poker room. The biggest knock on Chili is the fact that it's nearly impossible to become a VIP if you play low stakes games, which I usually do. Initial bonus is 150% up to $600.

William Hill is THE houshold name in the UK when it comes to online gaming. Much like everyone in America knows what Bodog is, kids in the UK grow up knowing that William Hill is synonymous with gambling. Aside from a few problems with slow-down during busy times, I make William Hill my go-to spot for low stakes poker play.

Titan Poker is another online card room that is part of the ipoker network. I'd say that Titan Poker has the greatest selection of microstakes games in all of Europe. That does mean that high stakes players get a bit screwed in terms of bonuses and VIP points.

On the rare occasion that I decide to play mid and high stakes poker games, I usually head over to Poker Plex. Be careful playing here, as I've had a little trouble getting response from customer service, and don't get me started on how long it takes to get a payout. Still, the selection of high and mid-range stakes poker games can't be beat in all of the UK, maybe in all of Europe.

The next time you find yourself in Europe or pretty much anywhere in the world besides the US or Canada, check out one of the online card rooms. You won't be disappointed.
