Poker buddies gets an online poker room @ poker trillion!

I've just downloaded this and had a quick play with it. In terms of thoughts on it all - I like it. It does what I expect it to in terms of being able to play poker. Download and install was easy (had one hiccup when first tried to download - but I think that was bandwidth on my end). Poker rooms are nice (I like the blonde avatar!) - had a bit of difficulty getting onto a play for fun table, since most seemed to be full - but it wasn't impossible. I find the view hand strength option a bit annoying, since it aids idiots who otherwise wouldn't be able to play well - which IMO ruins the game somewhat, but that's not exactly the end of the world. Equally, this would annoy me less in a game with fellow PokerBuddies members who I'd known and played with. I think it's pretty ideal for PokerBuddies, since although offline play is the best, this can be logistically complicated to arrange, whereas this way I can play more casaully with people I know - plus it allows me to play with PokerBuddies members across the board.

The one major negative is my experience trying to deposit with my credit card. Both my cards were declined, which is fine, these things happen (although I'm reasonably certain it's not a problem with my cards) ... but storing my card details in my account without asking and without giving me control over removing them from my account is very, very annoying. That said, customer services were very good when I quizzed them about this in terms of removing the details from my account.

All in all, though, I think it's good and an excellent addition to PokerBuddies ... looking forward to these guys setting up private tables and organising tournaments!
