PokerRoom.com, based in Sweden, opened in 1999, and is considered, by many, one of the premier online poker rooms. |
 |
Graphics: More elaborate than I like but adequate. A recent upgrade, more colors, larger font, and time bar, made significant improvements. |
 |
Games: Offers the most popular games but PR is a Hold'em site. You might find a stud game, but seldom an Omaha game. |
|
Tournaments: A full range of low-level tournaments, including a daily freeroll. Most Big tournaments are satellites into a monthly big prize tournament. Singles are available but fill slowly at higher levels and they charge $5+1 for the $5 single. They do have a good daily tournament with a 10K prize guaranteed. |
|
Players: Generally friendly and amicable |
|
Competition: Although the competition cannot be considered soft, Good games can be found from time to time. The Stud games when you can find them tend to be lucrative. |
|
Bonuses: Weekly Players' Freeroll is nice. First time deposit bonus and period special deposit bonuses make PR average |
 |
Amenities: The options on the interface, notes, organization, the Pokah Forums, and tournament information, all combine to present a well-designed site for the player. Their 5 years of experience shows. |
|
Connection : A significant client upgrade and change in Internet providers has resulted in some significant outages, slowdowns and catastrophic crashes recently. Hopefully this will improve as they work out problems. They have been rather generous in their attempts to placate players that have experienced these problems. |
|
Support: Quick and responsive to me. |
|
Overall : Hold'em, tournaments for less than $30, low level games, and just plain fun. The daily 10k guaranteed tournament is on my schedule. |
