From
PurpleLounge.com - "Purple Lounge was formed because as a group of Poker players
we decided that
Poker was turning
into an unsophisticated,
and rather dull
online environmentand
- it's actually
an amazing game
for all sorts
of people and
should be played
in a great environment."
We hope to
bring you
more interaction
with fellow
players
of all standards,
a great
environment to
play in and most
importantly,
put the fun back
into on-line
Poker.
Purple Lounge
will have numerous
new features
and these will
be added in
the coming
months. It's
a place where
we hope all
players from
all over the
globe can enjoy
the art of
Poker, learn
from professionals,
get hot-tips
and help online,
and hopefully
get their friends
to play on
their own tables
in a social
environment
- even from
half way across
the world.
Let's enjoy
Poker and enjoy
the company
of players
who love the
game.
Welcome to
Purple Lounge.
