anyone play poker through Linux?


I remember a year or so back ridiculing the explosion of poker but then last week I played hold em for low stakes (.25/.50) and became hooked. I can see how people easily become addicted to the game, its can be very complex but enjoyable nonetheless. Does anyone here play? There's a few sites Ive heard that support Linux, but I usually just play on my Windows PC.

I've played Texax Hold'em with friends and family, but never for money and always face-to-face. I've thought about giving internet play a try, but tend to think that an element of the game would be lost.

A few of us from work get a game going every couple weeks or so, usually a $20 buy-in. Like you say, I never thought much of poker before, but it is good fun...

Have not yet played on the computer yet though (and probably won't, as half the fun is hanging out with your friends).
