Thanks

umm i play on fulltiltpoker and you can watch games. If you mean "Can you see other peoples cards while spectating"...then no I don't know of a place where you can do that

BEcause then anyone on the internet could see everyone's hands, including the players.

Partypoker is a pretty good internet poker prog. You can watch instead of just play at the table if you want, but obviously there's no way to see people's cards.

You can also play with free play money at many sites too.

Also, a $50 deposit can last a long time if you play at the penny tables or small tournaments (and sit and gos). Not saying you'll win big, but you can have a lot of fun for a month or two with a minimal deposit. I started with $50 on 2 sites over 8 months ago. Still playing at both sites and have never put more money in.

royaldank,
Where do you play? Which feels more secure to you?

I play at Pokerstars and Party Poker. PP has the free bonus on your first deposit. I am friends with a top 50 finisher of the WSOP this last year. He's rated as a top internet player now. He's on Paradise, Ultimate Bet, and a little of PP and PS. To be honest, he had his account on Paradise hacked about 3 or 4 weeks ago. He's well known, so he was probably targeted b/c of that. Turns out they took $25K out of his account. A week later, Paradise was close but still hadn't found out who did it. They still credited his account with the full amount. I would say those 4 (and probably more) are trustworthy. With the money they make there, there is no reason to fix it and I've never heard of any big time collusion. I haven't seen Paradise in action but I've watched UltimateBet before. Seemed like it was a bit more serious at UB and more by the book. Fewer showdowns and lots won with raising action.

I mainly play little $5 sit and go's nowdays. I like tournament style. On occasion I'll sit at the quarter tables and play ring games or try a cheap multi-table action.

I have several friends that play PP, PS, UB everyday.
