Duplicate poker???

Alright everybody. Before I even attempt to play there how are they? I see they allow United States players. Are they for real???

well they are for real.

it is weird though... You don't play against the players at the table you play against another player at a different table that gets the exact same hand as you.

I didn't much like playing there, I can't deal with the fact you can win every hand and still end up losing.

it's not just good old fashion texas hold em? Don't think I would like it then. I use to play at Absolute poker. But with all the scamming going on there, I quit. Now I'm looking for a good poker room to play at for U.S. players.

Tdoggy, have you tried PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker?

I haven't played at either myself but I hear they are quite good. Both of them accept US players.

Duplicate poker is playing NL Texas Holdem. But the difference is that there is a duplicate table to yours, where the players get the exact same hands as the players at your table.

How you win is, accumulate more chips in the game or round than the player at the other table that is getting the exact same hand as you.

So you are not only competing with the other players at your table, you are competing with with someone at another table that is getting the exact same hands as you.

hard to explain... till you play.

Apperently its a pretty slow game. Anyone who gets frustrated with hand for hand play in tournaments will know what I mean.

If the other table is slow, it slows your game.

Ive not played on the site myself, just heard about duplicate poker. It seems more of a novelty style of game. I dont fancy the idea myself but it doesnt mean you wont.

PS, Ive also heard of payment issues but Ive not really taken much notice of the site.

Duplicate poker is 100% legal in the States (most US states) - they can accept most credit cards - and it's set up as a skill game. You compete against other tables.

If you want to participate in 100% legal games - this is it. They've been accredited here for about a year.
