Poker Room software
Extensively regarded as one of the leaders with its clean, sleek and reliable graphics and software. The software is obtainable as both Java applet and as standard Windows download. The Java version is a great characteristic for Linux and Mac users who otherwise need a Windows emulator. The Java version is also for certain users who cannot download programs to the computer. The data functionality on your played hands in the various poker games is good, with extra features such as hourly win/loss rate and Big Bets won or lost. There is a casual delay in the automated pre-selected actions a client can take, not to give away any extra information via an immediate check. The lobby information is a little tricky to use, as you need to click on each table to get the full data.
Poker Room ring traffic
The high limit tables in particular have developed very much since last year. The ring game traffic is 2300-2700 poker game players during peak hours. 4000-6000 poker tournament players during peak hours. There are two big daily free rolls, which draw very large crowds.
Poker Room game variety
Great variety, but traffic very concentrated to Texas Holdem. Finally pot- and no-limit games as well as Omaha and seven-card stud (both Hi and Hi-Lo) were launched in the spring and summer 2004. (Omaha is both available in fixed-, pot- and no-limit where the no-limit version is rather unusual for Omaha, in particular in the Omaha High version).
