DISQUS

I highly doubt this will work. Reading about the "nifty analytical analysis" and the "hands lost to bluffs" section makes me cringe. Poker is a game of partial information. Those who can uncover more information than their opponents and can do their own analysis, do better. Those that cannot, do worse. This is crucial for the game to have winners and losers. One can argue that people widely use analytical and tracking software on existing poker sites for this purpose. Poker sites, however, never offer this capability. It is never in the interest of a poker site to encourage its participants to improve. When games become tougher to beat, the bad players leave. Likewise, the good players leave, because the profitability becomes too little to bother, or entirely nonexistent. Cars and real world tournament entries as prizes? Whom are they kidding. At $1/hr per player divided by two, that's .50c/hr, per player. How do they intend to generate enough revenue to cover the cost of a $10K tournament entry, much less a car? I highly doubt the success of this site and pity its investors. Then again, if gambling transactions are legalized in the near future in the US, maybe, just maybe, they are positioning themselves at a good time to cash in early. Then again, there's the flipside. The major poker sites that are currently in rampant existence (although curtailed by the somewhat recent gambling ban), have all the infrastructure in place, and plenty of US based players (even after the gambling transaction ban). These poker sites will crush their competitors so fast (e.g. Ujogo) so quickly, they won't have time to blink.

To be honest, all this stuff about Ujogo, free online poker with prizes, launches today sounds confusing for me...

I signed up, it seems fun so far. I just finished first place in a Sit n' Go tournament. I like free websites like these. Another cool site still in beta is www.Moola.com, you actually get paid real money there. I've already cashed out $80. I can't wait till ujogo get's their prize store up and running.

If any one would like to sign up on Moola here's my invite: http://www.moola.com/moopubs/b2b/exc/join.jsp?s...

Thanks for the mention in the article! If one simply trusted ujogo's press releases, you'd think they were the only people on the planet that have come up with the idea if incentivized free poker play based on ad revenue and sponsorships.

While ujogo still has a long way to go before thier product is ready they do have a good business plan.

Looks just like ours ;)

Only real difference is, prizewagon.com has the product and the solid online gambling background behind that product while ujogo have the hype.
