Online CFMB poker game. Gauging interest. I am a little short on details as I am not certain what site they used, whether cam was involved etc etc. Basically, my step son and a number of his friends venmo'd the buy in to one responsible person. They then had a friendly poker night and that person then sent the proceeds back out.

Yay or nay? Suggestions on process?

Not really sure. They never happened again though. Perhaps using venmo or another method than just pay palling someone the money has a protection? I doubt it.

All jokes aside, I think it's much easier to play online again for money. Maybe someone here is in the know. I haven't played online in about 15 years, or whenever it was originally made illegal.

I have seen all the adds for playing strangers. I will ask my step son about the app they used.

We have been playing in a “Home League” on Poker Stars. Works well. People can get a free account and join the home league. Set a time for a tournament and people show up and play. The blind format is a little slow but adequate. While I wasn’t the league owner, it appeared that the settings were not very customizable.

Well we have two sets of adult kids that this is not their main residence. So as we open up as a state it is time for socialization and Mother's Day.

How does online poker work when you cant watch the other guys looking at their cards?

Yeaaaaaaah I dunno. Watching the guys you're playing against seems more important than your cards.
Maybe we play poker differently.

You asked how it worked online, not which methodology was best overall.

Though the maths part of it is absolutely important to know as well.
