It's pretty much a given that we love Android phones around here, but you might not know why. After all, if you’re like us when we first got our Android phone, you might not be sure what you could possibly do with the Android phone that would make a difference in terms of enjoyment. Let's face it -- as phones get more and more complicated, it's not like everything is always laid out in front of you. However, what really makes Android come alive is the app factor -- don't believe us? It's time for an example. 

For instance, let's say that you have been learning how to play poker. Poker is something that can provide hours of entertainment on its own and you can even win money doing it -- that is, if you get good enough, of course. Some people train for years and they're still not as good as some of the great legends of poker like Doyle Brunson or Scotty Nguyen or even Chris Moneymaker (yep, that's his real name too!)

Even if you don't want to win money and carve out a name and reputation for yourself, there are still a lot of chances to have a good time. 
While the best of poker is on the Android platform, we can't ignore the PC connection that the sport of poker has enjoyed. If you really want to learn more before you go mobile, there's a great online poker guide at Pokerlistings that you should check out. 

Playing poker on your Android phone is pretty easy once you find the right app. it's just a matter of going out to the Marketplace and looking at the different listings. 

Not sure what really makes a good poker app? That's where we come in! You see, it would make our guides pretty outdated fast if we started naming off app titles -- apps come and go as developers get the urge to create them. So what you will want to look for in a good poker app is free, first and foremost. There are some apps that you have to pay for, but they should come with at least a free trial before they sign up for the real deal. In addition, they should allow you to log in directly to the online website that they're associated with, or take you right into the playing rooms if it's a standalone app with no online component. 

Speed is everything when it comes to a good Android app -- have you found your perfect poker app yet? Why not start looking today -- you'll be glad you did!
