Internet Poker 

Burn Poker

Burn Poker also offers instructions on your not so typical internet poker games, also known as Dealer's Choice games. This site provides a general guideline as to basic rules when playing dealers choice games as well as the definition of some of the terms when it comes to betting. Dealer's Choice poker games are meant for fun and although they can be a little more entertaining than a home tournament we do suggest you set some limits in terms of betting as the pots to most games do get big and expensive fast.
