For poker players who like a more intimate setting—and yes, online play really can be intimate—here’s a great change of pace: PalaPoker.com.

New Jersey’s online poker scene is packed with some pretty big names (WSOP.com, PartyPoker, PokerStars). They do a great job with big tournament events and keeping the online poker scene alive as we wait for more states (Pennsylvania anyone?) to start player-sharing.

But for poker fans who like a more intimate setting—and yes, online play can be intimate—there’s a great alternative: PalaPoker.com.

The Pala sites, which originate in California with the Pala Band of Mission Indians, also include PalaCasino.com and PalaBingo.com.
