My prayers are answered. Thanks be to God.
RealDealPoker went live today! May 7, 2010!
From now on, Thanks to the work of Mr. Gene Gioia and his crew, work that took over 5 years, poker players everywhere around the world have a real online poker room deriving all the action from a real deck of cards... Just like in the World Series of Poker.
Online poker does not get any more real than when it's from a real deck of cards. It's why they do not use computer rng's in the World Series in Vegas!
I can play a lot more online poker from now on "knowing" this is from a real deck of cards..and it feels real good too.. Try it! You will feel the same way.
I got beat buy one card "The Ace of Diamonds" - It's poker, it happens! I'm cool with it because of my years of research in Gene Gioia and
Real Deal, and my knowing that outcomes like this.. came from that REAL DECK of playing cards and not an rng. Hands like this WILL happen real players know this, but anyone with half a brain will notice that the hands before and after outcomes like this (when on
RealDeal Poker) will be far more boring (like real life poker) than that of what we are all used to from the last 8+ years on-line poker play. I'll never believe that an rng can deliver the same action as a real wash, shuffle and cut. I'll never buy it. I know for a fact that I am not the only poker player with years of play under his belt that believes this about online poker - poker with the rng.
Give Real Deal a try and I think you will agree.
(But - please! Try it and YOU decide for yourself)

Today I feel I was part of online poker history. Congratulations to Mr. Gioia! Great work! You impress the hell out of me and that is one hard task.
I see Mr. Gioia is already on talking with the players on the first few hours of play on his
realdealpoker.com site. He plans to have weekly talks with players for feedback - Gene's always wanting to make the games better for the players! (He's a real poker player himself! He loves and respects the game.) Online poker starts to make a turn for the better starting today. I'm proud to have been a part of if all over the last 3 years. I thank Mr. Gioia for allowing me so close to all the happenings as it all went down. I can assure all people reading this - With Real Deal Poker - You are playing a 100% fair and honest game on poker. Online.
Come join everyone from around the world on the
forums and ask the owner questions of your own and be sure to sign up at RealDeal today and give it a whirl. It won't take long for you to see
RealDealPoker is a change for the better. I feel poker players will play longer sessions, more often, om Mr. Gioia's site. Give
Real Deal Poker a few months - Let them start the advertising and get through this soft "testing" launch and then you will see.. (Remember - You heard it here first!) Ask around too! I've been saying this needed to happen almost 8 years ago. Better late than never I suppose.. :)
My screen name, if you happen to run into me will be ODwyer. I'd love to play some true random poker with you one day, if you ever choose to stop on by. Real Deal is my only online poker room and for good reason. I spent the last 8 years looking to change how cards are delivered to online games and the last 3 following and helping Mr. Gioia. It will go down in my life as one of my most awesome memories and I had some pretty darn cool memories up to all this.
RealDeal Poker - Poker online! Not online poker.
My partner and I Chris Naish, want to thank the many many people who have helped us along the way and to the 120+ players that signed up under our company Chi Storm Poker in just over 2 weeks time. Chi Storm Poker players are players that sign up using the promo bonus code "Storm" and work together to promote and sell Real Deal to poker players all over the world.
This is only the beginning! No matter how big Real Deal Poker gets.. everyone involved can sleep sound at night knowing that players on this system are getting an actual wash, shuffle and cut (by the players) from a real deck of 52 playing cards.
I was all in 3 years ago!
You did it Gene!
God Bless you man. One day I hope poker players everywhere give you the pat on the back you deserve.
