Today, Apple released its much anticipated iPad and as a poker player, one of the first questions that came to my mind was, "Can I play real money online poker on this thing?" Thankfully the answer is "Yes".

As expected, Apple has not opened up its' App Store to online poker, but there is a way to play on your favorite site without hacking your device, and it's actually quite simple.

The secret lies in an app called "Jaadu". Jaadu is a program that allows remote connection to your home computer over the internet. That means, no matter where you are (as long as you have a connection) you can access your computer's desktop. From there, it's easy. Just load up your favorite poker site and tap to play poker. The app features everything you need to play a game of poker including keyboard support. 

This app will work with any site you can load on your computer such as Full Tilt Poker, Poker Stars, Ultimate Bet, etc.

 This is an awesome addition that makes me much  more likely to purchase the iPad.

Would you play real money poker on the iPad? Let us know in the comments.

Have you ever wanted to own shares in a poker pro? Have you ever wanted to raise funds to play in a high stakes tournament? Well now you can.

There is a new site available through PokerNews.com called ChipMeUp that allows you to do both. You can buy shares in anyone, and if they cash you get a percentage of their winnings. It's that easy. It's possible to buy a $1 share and get a return of $1,000's. Or, you can post an event of you own and raise funds to lower the variance.

There are hundreds of poker pros selling and buying shares at ChipMeUp. Why not join them?
