Poker Room

Overall

Welcome to the world's leading non-download poker site - that's good news for you Mac users out there! Pokerroom.com boasts excellent software with groovy 3D graphics, a cool interface and, of course, fine playability! PokerRoom has lots of traffic moving through the site. There are usually between 2300-2700 ring game players during peak hours with loads of soft competition for you to test your skills out on! You'll find players more focused at short-handed tables (5-6 players, or less) than other sites, which is fine by me!  The FREE software download moves quick; the site is secure and is continuously growing in numbers. Poker Room's tournament traffic is 4000-6000, which truly shows the site's focus is on tournaments and Texas Holdem. Overall, PokerRoom is a major player in the internet poker room game! With their 'POKAH' community chat board, you'll be making friends and learning new tricks in no time.  A recently introduced option allows you to play poker for real money or play money through your mobile phone! Now that's advanced - and convenient. Of course when I tried to play on my mobile, I must admit that I missed the big screen comfort of my PC.

Gameplay
PokerRoom has superb gameplay, considering all the game choices are clearly marked. The hand stats and history are easily viewed, which is a definite plus! The stakes range from $.25/$.50 on up to $500/$100 (in Omaha and 7 Card Stud). You can bet that there's always a lot of action going on at Pokerroom.com. The variations are good too - you can play multi-hands; secure private tables; and challenge someone 1-on-1.

Deposit/Withdrawal
PokerRoom is a secure site that provides you with a reasonable amount of options for depositing funds into your account such as Visa, MasterCard, Moneybookers, FirePay, 900Pay, NETeller, Pre-Paid ATM, and InstaCASH (US and Canadian players only). Withdrawing that huge heap of winnings is easy; but it will depend on your deposit method … or you can always have a check sent to you. There are no fees involved unless you have the check couriered.

Interface

I must say that Poker Room has fabulous software! They have a very unique look and feel, with 3D images that feel almost like live action. I said ALMOST! The also have cool characters for their avatars unless you’re a man who gets stuck playing as the old granny at the table - then that might not be so fun! The functions are very easy to use and benefit the computer phobic among us. Data hound? Well, All the information you could ever want or need is at your fingertips. Theses include hand or table stats and percentages. Of course, all the fun features are built in like chat and note-taking. You can even vote against other players who take too long to play; thus, getting them booted out of the game.  Now that's a useful feature! 

Another unique software point is the hourly win-lose rate and Big Bet win-lose rate. Again, the java non-download version allows Mac and Linux (and those who aren't allowed to download software on their work computer) access to this hot online poker room!

Incentives
Pokerroom.com has enough traffic that they may not have to worry about offering many promotions. The good news is - that they still do!  You'll find 3 BIG FREE ROLLS everyday, fat sign-on bonuses (40% FREE Bonus Deposit Match up to $200), a loyalty program called 'Players Points', and a refer a friend bonus that earns you both FREE cash.  There's a lot going on here… many excellent promotions!
