We know it’s not football but we’d like to point you in the direction of another pastime a lot of us enjoy and that’s poker.

 Combine the two and you have a recipe for a lot of pleasure sat in front of a screen and probably a lot more ear-ache from your other half as well! With online poker being played more and more each day, it’s worth having a quick look at a new site that will let you indulge in the best of both worlds.

It’s primarily a social networking site, the likes of Facebook or mySpace, but for poker players and there are some good football discussions going on in there too.

The site is Poker Nations and it’s rapidly gaining ground on most other social networking sites as it mixes the social side of things with free giveaways and raft of other great interactive options.
