Duplicate poker is a variety of poker that is based on duplicate bridge and some rules of texas hold'em, and it is legal in the US. Players develop a different strategy for winning as the objective is ot have more chips than your opponents at the end of the game, many say it is purely a skill-based game. Many players enjoyed the clear rules and transparency of the game and are now shocked by this decision as the company previously reported they had gone up by 25% in traffic and that their popularity kept increasing.
All poker players can only hope for the global financial crisis not to shut down more poker rooms, because that was the main reason for Duplicate Poker to do so, wasn't it? :confused:
