A Telling New Development

Soon, playing poker in pyjamas might be restricted to only the most voyeuristic of poker players if PharaohsPokerPalace.com has anything to do with it.

The website is hoping to launch the first site where you can actually see your opponents via a webcam and a beta testing phase has already started.

In his Super System 2, published last year, pro poker legend Doyle Brunson suggested that: 'Just a couple of years down the road [�] poker will be like a video conference, and you'll be able to focus on the players across the table from you and read them. Tells will be everywhere, and then full-scale psychological warfare will come to the online poker battlefield � and nothing will be missing.'

Brunson was right to say that the internet poker industry is at least a few years away from adopting webcam as standard practice but PharaohsPokerPalace will in fact launch their real-money tables in July 2006.

Players have the opportunity to become acquainted with the concept at optional tables during an introductory period after which a subset of tables will be designated as 'webcam only'. At these tables, all players will be required to have a webcam on themselves to play, creating a level playing field for those wanting to see and be seen.
