Poker software. play money

    I know all the networks like prima etc offer play money games.

    What I'm looking for is (free) software that a group of people people can download and play an online game together. I want to avoid them downloading one of the regular networks that are commercially driven.

    My aim is to run a weekly vegasnights game online without a player having to set up an aacount with the likes of PPP etc.

    I know this might seem strange but most of the VN regular players would not be online players. Our gams are relatively cheap and most players would play once a week in there local as a social night out. I considered and explored the prospects of setting up my own online site to fill this need but I do not want to encourage the regular VN players to set up an account and start running up a credit card bill.

    Anyone know of any software available for this????

    I know Yahoo have loads of games, and believe holdem is one of them. From playing draughts and stuff there I know that you can have private games in that, so with holdem it might be the same. I am not sure how it works though, but it is worth having a look at games.yahoo.com

    All you have to install is a java applet. It is free to play too but I don't know what the quality is like. I know there are tens of thousands at any one time on the games site as a whole so it is fairly popular.

    Edit: No good, as it is only limit holdem.

    This would be so easy to do, and I'd love to whip something up, except that a decent RNG for dealing the hands would be the hard part to implement.
