Forget Fantasy Football, Let's Play Fantasy Poker!

Fantasy Football has been around for a long time now, which is great for football fans, but for those of us who are not into the game of football, here is something new. Fantasy poker! Instead of picking and drafting football athletes, now you can pick and choose your favorite poker pros!

Fantasy Poker is available at a few different online poker rooms such as Full Tilt. You can also check out ESPN's site to join a fantasy poker league. Once you have done your homework and chosen where you would like to register you will have the chance to pick your personal 'dream team'.

Choosing your team of players is simple. You will be presented with a roster full of professional poker players. You will then start picking who you want for your team with choices such as Annie Duke, Phil Hellmuth and Chris Ferguson. Once you have your team all picked out, you will then be shown a list of events that your team will be competing in.

When it comes to times like now when there are big things going on such as the World Series of Poker, your team will have a real chance to rack in the points. The site chooses a selection of major poker events. Your players will earn one point for every dollar they win. So imagine if one of your players wins the WSOP main event. Last year the first place prize was $12,000,000 and is expected to be much larger this year!
