Am I just really dense?
 
There are a bazillion real-money poker sites. Many of them have caved in to that absurd "Safe Ports" legislation, but not all have caved. Some still allow real-money gambling by Americans. Most sites require downloading a Windows app but some sites allow you to play from a browser running a Java app. But search as I might, I've had no luck finding real-money for U.S. gamblers sites that utilizes a Java interface. PLEASE tell me that there are those here far smarter than I am who know the URLs of sites that meet those requirements.

I'm really curious as to what difference this makes?

I think that Pacific used to do this, but they are now closed to US players.

For instance, right now I'm on a library computer where I can't downloaded software but could play a Java-based game.

And get pwned. You would actually trust using a public computer (likely with a keylogger installed) to enter passwords related to real money accounts?

Wow.

Online poker, Java or not, probably isn't the best plan on a library computer...

IIRC there's at least one with a Java client that still allows U.S. players...can't remember at the moment which, though. Check out the threads about Mac-compatible sites.

Would Pitbull Poker work? It uses flash and requires no download.

Yea Im fairly tense when I go to enter sensitive info in my own compter, let alone one that a bunch of people i don't trust share.
