Playing Internet poker in real time against real opponents might just represent poker's brave new world. Whether for play-money or real money, it's an environment consisting of virtual tables, player icons representing you and your opponents, and specialized computer algorithms that randomly shuffle the cards. It's a world where you can find a game day or night. Though it may be the wee hours of the morning in California, it's prime time in Europe, and someone, somewhere, is looking to play a little poker. But it's poker with a difference. The game is the same, to be sure, but technology does kick in -- sometimes in strange and unexpected ways. A reference as well as a tutorial, this book includes a CD with free poker software, and a special bonus chapter with 125 interactive hands to help you prepare to play the Internet games for fun or for profit.

Lou Krieger, currently Dean of Poker School Online at WWW.POKERSCHOOLONLINE. COM recently, he discovered that "brick and mortar" casinos are not the only place one can belly up to the table uttering those magic words, "Deal me in." Lou now alternates between playing in casinos and playing online, where the two things he and his opponents have in common are a love for poker and Internet connectivity -- courtesy of modern technology -- to a virtual green felt table. Lou is a regular columnist in Card Player Magazine and the author of several other books on poker, most published by ConJelCo. When not writing about poker, Lou -- who lives in Palm Springs -- can be found playing poker in either the card casinos of Southern California or in one of his favorite cyberspace haunts.
