[MicroBob]

don't know the keywords or anything...but it has been covered before.

head into the archives for Wifi or public (and also microbob since there's a good chance I was involved in the thread).


1. Starbucks WiFi isn't free unless you have TMobil. Other places are free though (locally owned for example).
jiwire.com has a decent listing of public wifi places (both free and $$....although the list isn't comprehensive...I know of 2 or 3 places in my neighborhood that aren't on the jiwire.com site)


2. I don't know much about the safety and encryption and stuff. But it seemed to be pretty safe according to most.
Because the signal from you to Partypoker is encrypted.
Still, it's not a bad idea to change your passwords a little more frequently perhaps...particularly on the sites where you have significant dough.
But I don't even do this as much as perhaps I should and it's never been a problem.

I play at a public wifi coffee type place 2x a week or so I would estimate and have never had a problem.

Also, when I'm at my GF's place I can get the WiFi signal from the neighbors and have no problem doing this either.


If I really should be significantly more concerned with coffee WiFi places or using a neighbor's signal then somebody who knows what they're talking about FEEL FREE TO LET ME KNOW.


Anyway, I like it. The flexibility is great.
Nothing beats sitting out on the little patio there (when the weather is decent) with an iced-latte or something and clicking away on the poker-tables and thinking "geez...this is actually my JOB. sure doesn't feel like 'work'."
