Recently you may have heard bills that went through legalizing online poker in Nevada and New Jersey. The first LEGAL online poker site is now up and running for Nevada residents AND VISITORS. It is called www.ultimatepoker.com

Apparently you don't even need to be a resident of Nevada, just need to confirm you are there. Based on their reps on Two Plus Two Poker Forums, they indicate they only triangulate your cell phone to verify it is in Nevada..

Ultimate Poker is a subsidiary of Station Casinos LLC of Las Vegas, which operates 16 locals-oriented casinos in Nevada. You can go into any of those casinos to cash out or deposit, as well as deposit online. Cash in hand, right away, no waiting.

I've heard the software is rough, and today is the first day of their beta testing but the success of this thing will be a huge deciding factor on if other states follow suit. I am hoping for good things

When they outlawed real money on these sites, my friends and I developed a 'Poker Fantasy League'. We play once a week and it's like combing fantasy football with poker. The way it works is we each throw $20 into a (cyber) pot. Play 3 tournaments each week for 10 weeks. Win a tournament, you get 3 points. 2nd place is 1 point.

At the end of the 10 weeks, winner takes the pot.

It's a lot of fun. We play on Pokerstars. They have a 'home game' tab that we all log in to. You can invite just the players you want and then we register for those games. We also all log into Skype at the same time so we can talk smack.

If anyone is interested, let me know. We just started the 10 week session this week. Play 8:00 p.m. EST Tuesdays.
