Online Texas Hold'em Game Launched by Thwart Poker and Game Trust

ThwartPoker has dodged online poker's murky legal status, removing all of the elements of chance from the original game. In Poker Blitz, players choose their own cards, and thus entirely control the outcome of the game. In this version, players are blocked from the game if they select cards that were also chosen by another player in the present or previous round.

Traditionally, games of chance are considered gambling, while games of skill are not. Public opinion is divided on which category Texas hold'em falls into. By creating a completely strategy-driven version of Texas Hold'em, ThwartPoker has removed any reason for debate.

In announcing the company's new offering, ThwartPoker Co-Founder Daniel Pfeiffer stated, "We are very excited to be working with Game Trust. They have crafted such a robust and secure platform that integration has been a breeze. Their superior technology and channels of distribution made them the obvious choice for tournament-enabling our game and quickly reaching as many customers as possible."
