Question about online poker?

[SpandexFan]

I used to play Texas Hold Em with some buddies but I haven't found a regular group in my new town. Recently, I have explored the computer options. I played for free and purchased some games, but now I'm starting to look at the premium sites. I know there was some recent legislation regarding this, but frankly, it's confusing and I know there are scam sites that will prey off that. It almost appears that the financial institutions, not me, will be liable for any poker transactions. Is this true? Any suggestions? Not a Satan-worshipping gamble fanatic, just someone who enjoys playing poker when real money is at stake because the real players come out to play. Any online suggestions and tips? Thanks in advance.

Don't do it, go to a casino or have poker night with friends. To many problems with on-line gambling right now. And, banks aren't liable, you are. So if the site gets caught, you'll have that money held by Uncle Sam and may never see it again.
