# Poker Academy Online

Poker Academy Online is a completely different way of playing poker using Poker Academy. Instead of playing against computer opponents, you play against other people who also have Poker Academy. These games take place on the Poker Academy Online server and require Internet access to play. All games on Poker Academy Online are for play money and there is no fee to use this service.

Poker Academy continues to collect statistics for you just as it does for games against computer opponents, so the same powerful tools to analyze your progress are available.
