Online Poker?

Anyone else play poker online? I play for "Play Money (not real)" on PokerStars now and again. But it's just too addictive, bit of a life killer if your not careful.....I'm just glad I haven't got a steady Job, because those Real money tables are pretty tempting..................gulp

I dont personaly- but my boyfriend does- he also likes a lil play on WillHill.

It all gets too addictive lol

i think it is a waste of time - how do people know that they are not being ripped off? in real life at least you can see everything thats happening i.e the shuffling, the dealing etc but on a computer you cant see anything x

To be honest with you- there is not much difference- its only dodgy internet gambling sites that will rip you off- but anyone with common sense isnt gonna do that- places like WillHill and big name casinos online arnt gonna rip you off...!!!

But i do personaly think its boring!!

So naive.

UltimateBet is one of the oldest, largest, online poker rooms. They have recently been uncovered in a huge cheating mess:
ATS - Poker site cheating plot a high-stakes whodunit.

Common sense should tell you to be wary of unregulated industries that make billions of dollars.

I have an acct on Pokerstars but don't play there often. I have a friend who was on team pokerstars for the WSOP a few years ago.
Was actually the person that got me into Texas Hold Em.
Now I mostly play on PKR or FullTilt.

Play on Full Tilt quite regularly.
Sometimes play on PartyPoker.

Ran a Poker Night in my pub on Saturday, seemed to go ok, having another one in a fortnight.

Texas Hold 'Em is an easy game to learn the rules, it is a very hard game to master and is very addictive.

Omaha Hi / Lo just confuses me!
