Play Card Games Online With Friends – Play Cards Against Friends

Most card players that compete with friends choose poker as their game of choice, but there are other card games out there and other ways to play them competitively against friends. Aside from live poker, blackjack is inarguably the most popular card game in a casino, be it live or online. While blackjack players ultimately only compete with the dealer, you and your friends can join the same blackjack table and compete to see who will come out ahead.

Other casino card games that you can try with friends include baccarat and poker variants like Caribbean Stud, Pai Gow poker, and the increasingly popular game of Tri-Card poker. Remember too that poker rooms offer a whole slew of their own variants apart from the typical Texas Hold’em. Why not take the pressure off learning a new poker game by trying Omaha, Seven Card Stud, or a mixed game like HORSE at a private table made just for friends?

Even if you’re typically a cash player at your favorite poker room or online casino, you can include more budget-minded friends by either playing at a lower stakes level or switching over to fun play for the day. As we mentioned above, most online poker rooms also allow you to create your own private tables and even tournaments where you and your buddies can buy in for a set amount the same way you would at an in-home game.

Regardless of which online card games you choose to play with or against your friends, it’s important that you don’t try to play them from the same location. In fact, most online casinos and poker rooms won’t allow you to play at the same table if you’ve all got the same IP address. Also, while it’s tempting to share information when playing at the same table, remember that collusion can get you blocked from your favorite gaming sites and in some circumstances (namely cash play) could even result in criminal charges.

If you’re having a hard time deciding which card games you and your friends want to try, then why not try them all? Playing at a multi-purpose gaming site like Bodog or PlayersOnly allows you to use one member account to switch between the poker room and the regular casino. That means that you can try a few hands at your usual Texas Hold’em table and then take a breather over at blackjack. It’s one way to ensure that your group sessions never get boring, and that all your friends have a chance to shine at their preferred card games.
