Furthermore, unless you have been hermetically sealed in the condition described above, you are probably also aware that the vast majority of public attention has been directed towards online poker tournaments. Therefore, you may be the laboring under an understandable but nonetheless utterly false misapprehension, namely that poker is the only game which has translated with such remarkable facility to the online tournament arena.

Obviously, for gamblers like you and me this is a pretty exciting time in which to be alive and betting.
