Poker Sites - Top 10 UK

Bingo for the girls and poker for the boys? Not always so. The advantage of playing poker online is that nobody knows who you are. So you don't have to take part in all the machismo and you won't be intimidated. Men pretend to be women, and women pretend to be men. It's a complete zoo, but the game is really fun to play and the chat is almost as good as in the Bingo. Here's a guide to the top poker sites if you were thinking of giving it a go.
