Online Poker

You’d think that this would be a post about blog spam, but it’s not. I’ve tried a few different online poker sites, but they all want your credit card number to charge you an “entertainment fee.” I’ve never been comfortable giving my credit card number to such a site, so I never had a chance to participate. I was watching TV this morning and saw a commercial for an online poker site called bodog.net. The signup was free and required no credit card to verify information. I was granted $500 in “play money” and was sitting at a table in less than 2 minutes. It was quite fun and even worked in Safari on Mac OS X. Woohoo! I ended up leaving the table with $751. There are some tutorials and card combination charts to give you an idea of what are better hands. Great for a novice such as myself. Here’s one of my hand transactions on one of the limited heads-up tables:
