Poker

I recently found a decent free implementation of Texas Hold'em, this doesn't sound much, but just try Googling "free Texas Hold 'em" and find some interesting interpretations of "free".

Anyway, this is PokerTH and it's low on bells and whistles and seems to play a decent game of Poker (though it seems that playing fairly tight and going big with good hands is a safe way to win). It's flexible, to a point, as you can set the amount of starting cash , the number of players (up to six), the size of the blind and how many hands before the blinds get doubled.

It's fairly new, so the interface is evolving and it feels ever so slightly clunky, but it's worth a look if you want to hone your playing before the next home tournament.
