Here is my favorite poker quote from blogger Yakshi: He plays .02 poker which is almost like free poker.
I am a sort of superhuman. It’s a gift and a curse at the same time. Immune from cancer, hangover and writer’s block, possessing rubber bones, and trained since birth in the ninja-ic arts, I have the speed of a leopard, the dexterity of a chimpanzee, the snout of a walrus, the hunting prowess of a native Idahoan, the protective shell of a sunflower seed, the hearing ability of a librarian, the dental work of a meth-head, the ethical system of a lawyer, the brainpower of a mildly retarded dolphin, the desperate eyes of a stripper and the singing ability of Stevie Wonder.
Yahoo!, one of the biggest search engines and Internet portals, has entered the online poker world with the addition of real-money poker to the games section of its UK operations.
Yahoo! Launched the online poker room in partnership with Gibraltar-based St Minver, one of Europe’s largest gaming operators. Boss Media, which also supports the powerful gaming operators SportingBet, Bwin, and William Hill, will provide the poker software platform.
The new poker site does not accept players from the U.S., due to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which makes it illegal for credit card companies and banks to accept money transfers to and from online gambling sites.
Yahoo! is the only Internet Service Provider (ISP) to offer play for real money. The YAHOO! UK & Ireland Games Web site also offers real money Bingo. The new site will focus on the growing European poker market.
