Title: Online poker on mobile phones!!!!!
Post by: Hairydude on September 02, 2006, 11:23:15 AM
Whens its gonna happen?? I think it would be a great idea and sooner or later u'll be able to do it but how long do you reckon it could be before we can play it on say the bus or train on the way to work on our mobiles- I have a nokia N80 and you could definately fit a single table on the screen

I think both have poker trainers but you cant actually play real money tourneys or tourneys V other people on them, its all against the computer.  PartyPoker also have software for it but do not yet offer live play.

Personally I cant beleive none of the big sites have done this yet, the amount of players that would play while travelling, on breaks at work and generally when theyre out would be frightening, it would also mean you coul go to the pub and play :)

Yep check out 'Live Mobile Poker' on the Pokerroom site.

Well least I found a use for my mobile at last - most expensive alarm clock at the moment.

Indeed, Pokerroom does allow you to play live, against real people.

The only thing to take into account is your service providers data charges for GPRS, HSCSD, etc, as it could be an extra rake you have to pay.

And the fact pokerroom are the biggest muppets on the planet! I hope nobody has to go through the hassle I had with them. Completely unprofessional and seemly inept.

Poker for real money on mobile phones is BAD news for the poker industry.

Just think about it...
