                         POKER MAVENS 1.0

Houston, TX -- Briggs Softworks announces the release of Poker Mavens
1.0, an Internet-based poker software game for Windows. Poker Mavens
allows friends and family to play against each other in a private 
game of Texas Hold'em poker from anywhere in the world, for fun and 
practice.

Up to nine people can play in a single table tournament, using a 
graphical interface that displays the table, cards, chips, and player
avatars. All three Hold'em variations (limit, pot limit, and no limit) 
are supported. A built-in chat system lets players communicate with
each other, IM-style.

Unlike other online poker sites that use a central server and require
an account, Poker Mavens runs entirely on local PCs. The software 
consists of a free Client Module that each player uses and a Server 
Module that is operated by one person in the group, designated as the 
game administrator. 

The game adminstrator has the option to run Poker Mavens as a private 
game so that only invited guests can play or as a public game so that 
anyone can join in. The Server Module runs on any Windows PC connected 
to the Internet, either directly or through a router, including 
dial-up access.

Poker Mavens is available for Windows 98 through XP. The server module
license fee is $29.95 USD. Visit the Briggs Softworks web site to 
download the trial version and the free client module, view screen 
shots, and read more about the program. [http://www.briggsoft.com]
