Online Poker Sites - A list of sites that allow US players and a ranking of those sites based on variety of games, playability, strength of players, bonuses offered, and other factors.

Cash Games - Cash games, also known as "ring games" are games where real money is wagered (as opposed to chips as in tournaments).  These tables will have a maximum "buy-in" based on the level of the blinds.  These types of games are where money can be made or lost most quickly.

Sit and Go Tournaments - Sit and Go Tournaments are those where a set number of players are seated and are all given the same amount of chips at the beginning after paying a set buy-in amount.  The proceeds of the buy-ins are allocated to the top remaining players, usually the top three places.

Multi-Table Tournaments - Multi-Table Tournaments are tournaments where an unlimited number of players are allowed to join (and alternates are often allowed to join after the tournament starts).  The potential return on these tournaments is much higher than on Sit and Go Tournaments, and payouts are made to a number of remaining players based on the initial number of entrants (for example, a tournament of 100 players may pay out to the top 10 players, where a tournament of 500 players may pay out to the top 50 players).
