Online Poker for Linux?

Posted by Cliff on from the texas-hold-'em-anyone dept.

Burianski11 wonders: "For a while now, I have been playing online poker at sites such as Poker Stars and Party Poker. In the past, this hasn't bothered me much, since I was primarily a Windows user. However, now that I am trying to make the switch to Linux I am realizing that this is one thing that will be sorely missed (and may cause me to keep a Windows box around). Do any of you know of any online gambling sites that support Linux?"

    would be to tell him to take a look at http://www.pokerroom.com which does exactly what he wants and is mozilla friendly.

      I'll second the recommendation for pokerroom.com. I play Texas Hold 'Em twice a week (the free version, I'm not that good) there. I use Mozilla on my Linux machine and have had no problems.

    Actually it'a YES. Pokerroom.com works great. Uses java and is pretty much the same as partypoker.
    Never had any problems with it.
