New to the Fourms, have a few questions.

Also as far as anyone's opinion on a wallet as I have coinbase and xapo.

I use MultiBit, which stores your wallet on your own computer, which is way more secure.

Even basic bitcoin-qt does store your coins on your own computer.

You've come into the right place. For storage, try using a lite wallet (a wallet that doesn't require downloading gigabits of data from the blockchain). Such examples are MultiBit and Electrum. As for the poker thing, try hanging around the gambling section. That thread is updated frequently by poker sites and you may also want to check out their latest offers to new members in their site.

Welcome to BTT and to the world of bitcoin.

Thanks everyone for all the information.
  Also looking for something that's iPhone and or Mac compatible, 
  But I do agree with the replies that I have gotten that online wallets can just disappear, like some online poker rooms. ( wish I still had that money Ultimate Bet and Minted) lol.

As for the wallets, there is also a plethora of topics in this section. You may read on or two, just to get the idea.
Here I have some links for you:

At the moment a new pokersite is offering 100% deposit bonus that could be worth looking into it's called skyhighpoker i wont leave a link but with a quick google search you will find it 

Have fun at the tables and maybe will see you there.
