I, just for curiosity sake, logged on to sealswithclubs poker site, and when I went to view a game in progress, I was surprised to find that their poker client is web based. I've never run across this before, but it did make me think, is it safe?? Obviously it must be, but it piqued my interest on the pros and cons between the two. Is it a simple answer?? One thing for sure, there would never be that occasional and inconvenient "updating client" wait (and sometimes fail) that local clients experience.
