    I've seen some poker sites with adsense and it was ok, they were providing tips on playing and were not offering links to poker sites or playing poker, etc.

    Best person to ask would be Google, email them and ask if that website is appropriate for adsense.

    Thanks. I will email them now.
    My site does have a directory though only as it's all link exchanges but it mostly has guides, strategy and reviews etc.
