Press Release Summary = The boom of online poker is providing players with unheard
levels of convenience.

Press Release Body = Playing poker online is fast replacing the traditional home
poker games with friends. Many people find playing online poker to be fun and
financially rewarding, but still find themselves missing poker night. Before online
poker became so popular, many people would host a poker night at their house for
their friends, and they would all sit around and play. A lot of online players miss
this opportunity to play and chat with their friends.

Many online poker sites now give players the option to have private poker tables.
You log on, setup the table, and only allow the players that you invite in to play.
It still isn't exactly the same as playing at home, and it does require you to get
your friends into playing poker online, but many players find it just as pleasing as
the old at home games. It is much easier to setup an online poker game for your
friends than to host one at your home. By playing online, you have no mess to clean
up afterwards, and no food to provide, and less time invested in setting up the game
and more time in playing the game.

One site that offers players this option is Party Poker. Their software is very
user-friendly, and on average it takes most people about 15 minutes to setup an
online private game. You begin by loading the Party Poker software on your computer,
enter the bonus code FREE25DEP to receive $25 free, then go to the options menu at
the top of the screen. From this point, you will click on the create private tables
option. The program will then prompt you to select the kind of game you want to
play, and the stakes for that particular game. It also will ask you to make a
password for your table, which allows you to control the people that have access to
your game. You decide whether you want to play a limit game, or no limit game.

Once you have selected all the options you want, and create the table, the game will
give you ten minutes to have all players seated at the table. To actually find your
poker table you created, go to the menu on the far left of the screen. It is
sectioned out into five different categories: real money, party poker million, sit
and go, tournaments, and play money. Each one of these categories has its own drop
down menu under it. Go to the real money section and click to access the drop down
menu. Click on the name of the game you selected, and the stakes you entered when
you set up your table. Find your table name in this list, and click join table.

Once you have completed the above and your friends have joined you, you are ready to
play the game.
