No one ever heard of Truepoker.com?
They have the best graphics and software and money transfer system on the net, bar none. You won't believe yer eyes when you see the graphics, it's like sitting right at the table. The thing is, it is graphic intensive, so the only problem is the D/L "if" you have dial up still.
Truepoker was one of the first poker sites I started playing on about 3-4 years ago. I started out playing in their 'free rolls" and built a bank from that. They no longer have a true free roll, but a "free roll" for only those who have Truepoints for playing at the real tables, which I thought was BS, buit oh well. they are still a great option if your looking for a real life experience online and the best software anywhere.
