I found this site yesterday and started playing today. The draw for me was that newbie signups get free buy in to four SnG's that pay off in real money (25 for first, 15 for second, and 10 for third). The money can be used to play their ring games (1/2 is their lowest limit table) but can not be cashed out until you make a deposit ($30 min).
So I played 3 of the four SnG's today, got second in two of them and moved over to the limit tables fully expecting my tiny bankroll to go away in a hurry. Well, those 1/2 dollar tables are EASY to beat! I mean REAL easy! My $30 is now sitting at $90 and I'm about to quit for the evening.
So if you want a way to add to your bankroll without risking anything you might want to check it out True Poker.
A couple of caveats about the site. If you're a pro player who wants to play 19 tables at a time on 4 different screens and play 1000 hands or more an hour this is NOT the place for you. It's a 3d site with some awsome graphics but it pays the price in speed and the number of tables you can play at any given time (i.e. one  ). But if your a recreational player like me the slower speed and the graphics are a lot more pleasent than having hand after hand comming at you like the cards escaped from some Alice in Wonderland movie and got ahold of a bunch of meth.
Anyway, take a look if you want. As far as I'm concerned just watching players that look like real people is worth the download.

True Poker just paid me $1600 for my domain name True Poker Cash.
I love those guys. I was hating it because I could not get any search engine ranking butting heads with them. Things worked out great and they Netellered me the cash in about 2 minutes.
Funny how a site tells you it takes 2 to 3 business days to send Neteller money, but when they want to it only takes 2 seconds.
The graphics at True Poker are wicked.

Hey, guys.
We've been working out a sweet rakeback program with TruePoker. We're almost ready to unveil the details.
Please stay tuned. Don't sign up just yet if you want in on the rakeback.

Xianti is right, the True Poker rakeback sounds really good.
Hopefully they will get a bit more traffic in the near future.

From what I see, you're cards sit on the table in front of you unless you look at them. Is this true? You can also see when other players are looking at their hole cards?
This might be some good information on getting some insight into if a player is drawing or not.

I have a feeling that the software might possibly make an opponent appear to be looking at his cards when maybe he did nothing. Think about the random voices. They go spatting off on every move. It could be possible that when a player looks at his cards, it could totally be a computer thing. I could be wrong though, I'll ask management.
Good looking out. If what you are saying is true, then yes it would be a small glimpse of info. While many don't care about such a trivial thing, you and I seem to know that all these minute hints/clues added up together with all the other hints/clues can provide a significant advantage.
