trying out for online poker

As I am searching for some cool iPhone games I came across a thread forum wherein someone was asking for an iPhone poker game. Different links were given, and I’m kind of curious how this online game is being played. Well I’ve heard about WSOP online but since I’m not personally playing poker, I considered myself a beginner. And because curious on how to play this game, I made my own research. :)

For those new on this game, I guess this little information I gathered might give you an idea… Ok the first thing that I’ve learned is that online poker is not a video poker, which is the game that we see in casinos like a slot machine. I’ve tried playing slot machine before and it’s fun. So it’s not the online poker, huh! :) It’s not also something that you play by yourself, but you play with at least two real people and all of you connected to a game server via the Internet. And unlike online casino where the player and the casino are natural enemies, with online poker the house (that is the poker site) is a neutral third party who makes money by collecting a small fraction of each pot before awarding to the winner. Ok that makes sense… ;)

Then the following components are needed to make it work: a (1) poker website, where you can get all information about the site and also the place from which you download the poker client; (2) poker client is the program to install on the pc; (3) game server, the central computer that hosts the game; and (4) the players, the people who are playing with each other.

You can play online poker for play money or real money. For play money, you are just playing for “play chips” or “free chips”. When you play for real money, you are betting real dollars. Sounds risky so it’s important that the site is trustworthy for this.

Looks interesting! Well that’s only a little information but there’s a lot more that need to learn about this game. Maybe I could try the one in iPhone first. :)
