Bluff Avenue uses virtual money to track your winnings and bankroll balance. There’s no rake, and no deposits, so it’s completely legal in the U.S. It’s perfect for online poker leagues or for playing poker with friends who aren’t close enough geographically to play with you live. It’s like playing your home poker game online! Combine the speed and convenience of online play with the friendly company, atmosphere, and flexible rules of a home game. Play Texas Hold’em and Omaha with optional rules that you might use in your home game but don’t usually find on online sites: All you need is a microphone–no special software or set-up is required! Use Bluff Avenue’s brand new TableTalk VOIP feature to voice chat with your friends as you play! No more typing into cramped chat windows. You create a group for your friends, you create private online poker games for them to play in (cash games, tournaments, and sit & go’s), you choose the stakes and the rules in effect. On Bluff Avenue, the whole focus is on the social side of the game: playing online poker with your friends. Maybe you get berated for drawing to that inside straight. There’s not much of a social element–you show up, you play, you win or lose. On most online poker sites you play against random strangers. There are plenty of online poker sites to choose from, you might be thinking. Hello, my name’s Kevin Tao, and I’d like to announce a new website I created, Bluff Avenue, now in public beta! Bluff Avenue is a site where you can play poker for free, no downloads required.
