| Anyone play at a poker site that has good chat amongst the players? I've been at pokerstars but notice that it's a real "quiet" table |

| I just took a kick at a new poker site called Hetman Poker - it's real smooth software and so far the people who play the tournaments I've been in can really chat it up nice - no obnoxious kids. |

I did some research, cause it is an interesting name. Looks like it stands for the grand poo-bah of Eastern Europe in the 1600's.
Hetmans of Cossacks
Main article: Hetmans of Ukrainian Cossacks
At the end of the sixteenth century, commanders of Ukrainian Cossacks were also called hetmans (or atamans). From 1648, the start of Bohdan Khmelnytsky's uprising, a hetman was the head of the Cossack state, the Zaporozhian Host. Although they were elected, Cossack hetmans had very broad powers and acted as head of the Cossack state, its supreme military commander, and the top legislator (by issuing administrative decrees).
After the split of Ukraine along the Dnieper River by the 1667 Polish-Russian Treaty of Andrusovo, Ukrainian Cossacks (and Cossack Hetmans) are known as Left-bank Cossacks (of the Cossack Hetmanate) and Right-bank Cossacks.
In Russia, the office of Cossack Hetman was abolished by Catherine II of Russia in 1764. |

Hey,
Just thought I would let everyone know that I won big on BingoDiner today! I was playing video poker (Deuces & Jokers) and just kept winning!!! I couldn't believe it because I have never really had luck with that game. Some draws that came up I automatically won. It was awesome. Maybe it was my luck, but it was pretty good!
If you guys like video poker, you should check it out! |
