Since TripleJack has a decent free service that is browser and flash based, I figured we could try to get a PA game going on one night. If you're interested, hit me up. Figured 6 players minimum.

Howdy.
Anyone have a recommendation for an online poker site? Specifically Texas Hold'em? I used to play a flash based one, but quit when I realized that the AI was pretty stupid.
I don't require much, other than it be PC and Mac compatible.
Honestly, if there's another decent flash based one that does NOT require a download, I'd be pleased as Punch.
The net is littered with really crappy, suspect websites.
And please do not recommend any cash based games as they are illegal in my present location.

Sounds like some of the people I tend to put out every other Saturday.
Thanks!

Gonna create an account, but just played three hands with that ended up with triple 6's post river.
They also use a month-long tournament sort of system, and you'll get little trophies or medals for being one of the top players for the month.
Pretty neat.
You can play play money everything and do tournaments that will have much better players.
Also regarding legality, I'd like to hear where you are and what info you've been given because it's such a gray area EVERYWHERE I don't think you can call it illegal to play. Hosting an online site is illegal, that's why they're all done off shore.
Think about it, do you think all of the top name pros would show up playing online? I can walk you to about half a dozen of these guys at any given time it's not like they're difficult to find or anybody doubts what they're doing.
I'd be down for that.
Also:
I think the problems with legality actually involve cashing out. I haven't really looked into this in about 4 years, though, so I'd have to do some research before being willing to say anything definitive. At any rate, I'd be willing to bet that many of these "top name pros" are being remunerated via an entirely different process than the cashing out process of a typical player.
Free site, not for real money of course. Although we've noticed that some people will accumulate money and then just bet as much as possible per round, since it's not real money.
My mom leaves those tables. She says it's like playing the lottery.
Like you're Canadian money is good for anything other than Monopoly.
Yes, it requires a download.
No, you don't need any money (nor do you have to register a credit card) to play, as you can play with "play money". I haven't played with real money on there yet (I'm still practicing, honing my skillZ) but it seems safe enough.
It's also the platform that Wil Wheaton prefers.
