Governor of Poker - the best play-money poker flash game around

This post is dedicated to a game that has already reached widespread critical acclaim as one of the best no download poker games out there today. It's a completely free-to-play, flash based casual game called Governor of Poker. Originally developed and released by Youdagames, it's today literally all over the Internet (just do a Google search for it, and you'll see what I mean).

As casual gaming is growing by the day, this game has helped spread the game of Texas Hold'em even more, and the game is nothing short of fantastic.

You start off with quite a small bankroll, in a small Texas town, and are to build that bankroll up whilst also investing in property. After having cleared out the available tournaments and cash games where you're at, you travel on through Texas, with the one goal of being the Governor of Poker - and, quite literally, the owner of the entire state.

The graphics are top notch for a flash game, the gameplay is good and for the fish out there, you even get some in-game strategy tips!

Try it out today!

Online Poker Rooms with No Download pt. II

It's been a while since part one, but here's finally number two. I'll cover the two remaining rooms who offer a no download poker version of their software, for the convenience of players who are either sitting on a modem to play online poker, or might not be able to download or install software for other reasons.

BEFORE I START - Congratulations to Joe Cada, winner of the WSOP Main Event 2009!
I haven't had the time to update this blog in a while, but still feel I have to give him a shout for his feat!

And now, on to the poker rooms...

1. Paddy Power Poker
PPP is operated by the European, Irish-based gambling operator Paddy Power, who offer both sports betting and an online casino, apart from their card room. Their card room is very popular among European poker players, and has a vast number of players due to its placement on the iPoker network.

As for their no download option, it runs as smoothly as that of Titan Poker (who also uses Playtech software, and belong to the same network). It has been tried before, and it works very well on here, too!

2. Ladbrokes Poker
Ladbrokes is yet another well-renowned, UK-based gambling operator offering everything from sportsbetting to backgammon, and various other fun real-money games. Their poker room offers you the possibility to choose from a traditional online table view, or their exciting, newly developed 3D poker.

Their flash based poker client is reached through clicking the "Getting Started" link on their homepage, and features the 3D version directly through your web browser! Also, they host a multi-table feature that works very well.

That's all for now. And as always, if you have any tips on how I could improve these posts - or if there's something you'd want me to write about - let me know!

Good luck at the tables!
