Today I'm here to talk about a new way to play poker . I've often wondered if anyone else could have done any better with the cards I'd been dealt during a game and it looks like I may have found a room that would answer that very question. And they even accept credit cards from the U.S.A. !

At Duplicate Poker the poker is played on a scoring system. Players on a different table get the same hole cards as you do. A deck of cards is shuffled identically and used at each table which gives each player the same cards as the players sitting in the same position on the adjoining table. Duplicate hole cards, duplicate flop, turn and river.

A score is generated for each player based on the number of chips they have at the end of each hand, so for every hand every player on all competing tables receive the same number of chips. This is regardless of how many chips a player finished with in the previous hand.

Once a hand is over the final score is calculated by comparing your initial score with the score of all the other players sitting in the same seat position at the adjoining tables. The player that has the highest chip score at the end of a session wins.

The concept is fairly new and may take a little adjusting to, but it's definitely an interesting way to play poker online . Duplicate Poker Inc was established in 2004 as a privately held Delaware company and the room has tried to take the luck factor out of poker to where the best player wins. I would recommend the room to anyone that wants to try something new .

The software looks to be very easy to use even for the newcomer to online poker.  For more on the unique leaderboard they have and their 200% bonus program , along with tips of the day, just visit Duplicate Poker .

Editors Note : This room has gone out of business .  Back to the U.S. friendly poker rooms that have been around a while like good old PDC Poker . (formally known as poker.com)
