About 6 months ago a good buddy of mine and a fellow poker player who played with us in the evenings was relocated to the other side of the world (and down under to boot) in Australia. We were as far away from each other as possible and never thought our games would survive. However, that is before I learned about the online casino.

I had never used the internet for anything much other than email. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I came across online casino poker playing. I discovered that my friend and I could still play  poker at the same table no matter which continent we were on. We only had to mutually agree on the same casino table and both log in to the tournament beforehand. In fact, I could even set up our very own private tournament and invite specific friends that I wanted.

By doing so, I discovered that a lot of friends I knew also played poker this way online. Consequently, the last Friday of every month is our honorary poker tournament. Although playing with strangers and meeting new people can be fun, there is nothing like designing your very own poker tournament. The computer keeps track of the scores, analyzes our chances and lets us communicate with each via a live chat, no matter where we’re living. Even if we are on business trips, we don’t have to miss the tourney, we can simply bring the laptop!

For anyone who has a poker buddy overseas, I highly recommend the online casino!
