TonyBet

TonyBet Poker, a relatively new independent online poker room that originally dealt only Chinese Poker and its variants, began to expand to more traditional games late last year with the introduction of Hold’em and Omaha tables.

The broadening of its games continued last week with the introduction of Hold’em tournaments plus heads up and 4-max cash game tables. The site also introduced straddles, removed full ring tables, and is running a slate of promotions this month to entice players to the new tables.
