PocketFives, founded in early 2005 by Cal, Adam and Riley, is an online poker forum designed to help its members support each other in their online poker careers. Forum members range from the best online poker tournament players in the world to the newest beginners to online poker. The PocketFives poker forum works on a daily basis to help these players come together as a community and help each other out.

From the start, PocketFives has been a tournament-focused poker forum largely due to its widely acclaimed online poker tournament rankings. The PocketFives Rankings, which have evolved significantly over the years, are a listing of the 100 best online tournament players in the world at any given time. The rankings are determined both by tournament results data and votes collected from PocketFives "Pro Pollers". Pro Pollers are people specially invited by PocketFives due to their excellence at the table or general expertise regarding online poker.

Combining the PocketFives online poker rankings with its strong poker forum community already makes PocketFives one of the leading poker communities in the world. Once features like pro guest articles, poker podcast, rakeback, daily content updates and poker blogs are added, PocketFives becomes that much stronger. But the PocketFives forum community benefits do not end there. PocketFives also regularly runs promotions that are negotiated directly with the leading online poker sites. These promotions, which have amounted to hundred of thousands of dollars in value over the years, are exclusive to PocketFivers and can result in a huge boost to your bankroll.
