Online Poker Sites
Afternoon All
Been playing online poker online for a few years through Ladbrooks, but fancy a change.
Anybody using any of the online poker sites? Which ones do you prefer? Why?
What are the good points and bad points of the sites that you've used?
Thanks

Re: Online Poker Sites
Suprised actually that the site hasn't set up it's own room in a free poker site (prehaps yahoo..etc...) I wouldn't say no to few nights playing texas holdem with the members..
Shall I look into it??
(obviously one played without money)

Re: Online Poker Sites
I'd be up for that, I really enjoy Poker and don't get to play as often as I'd like
Keep trying to get my mates to play.....for some reason though none of them are interested

Not sure how much general interest we'd get though (or how easy it would be to get more than a couple of people on at a time).....

Re: Online Poker Sites

Put your spare cash in those tins at the supermarkets Rob! 
(One of my sons friends won through to a casino In Vegas, all expenses paid, that was from a online site, I will ask him which))

Re: Online Poker Sites
I dont gamble at all now, in my past life I did do the roulettte wheels, but very rarely.
Bet £50 quid on black once, it came up, I walked away, and we spent it all in the bar!
Oh what fun........................

Re: Online Poker Sites
I have a friend who quit work and now plays online poker full time. Ladbrokes is one of his main sites. A few weeks ago he won about $15,000. He's won all kinds of other weird things too, invitations to private functions, live game entries, shares in racehorses etc.

Me either. I much prefer the PKR interface.
Hell, even the Zynga Poker on facebook is better than pokerstars

Re: Online Poker Sites
Part of the problem I'm having is that I'm trying to run the Windows clients in Ubuntu.....not all of them like that very much
