Just missed the edit window. Disregard the above question. Just recieved an email from support stating that the mobile version does not offer the poker club option. ---

How much of a n00b can a person be? I have never played poker on-line, but yes, I do know the rules for a regular friendly game. A couple of questions (if they have been asked/answered, apologies in advance) 1. how does the betting work? I assume you start with a pre-determined number of chips, but they are free, correct? (I.e. No real money changes hands) 2. how long do you play? 3. what style of poker do you play? (Texas hold 'em, Omaha, draw, etc), or do you change up once in a while? Thanks for your time. ---

1. No real money is involved. Entry for the tournament is 109 play chips. You can get 1000 play chips at a time at PokerStars, at no cost. 2. It averages an hour and a quarter, I think. Hypothetically it could go on quite a long time until only one player is left. 3. It’s always Texas hold 'em. ---
