Everest Poker

Everest has come a long way from a few
years ago. Many of the older reviews
are outdated for Everest Poker. Everest
has been surging outside of the US, and
its network has substantially grown
since 2006. Everest is now the main
advertiser on the felts of the 2008
World Series of Poker poker tables!!!
It may be time to check out Everest -
it's always been a soft network for
experienced players, but now with the
WSOP advertising, it's sure to grow and
collect more noob's. Have fun and good
luck!

STAY AWAY! I made a deposit, no problem.
But on my third cashout I get demand for
ID verification. I had no problem with
this when it came to sending copy of
driving licence and utillity bill, but
they wanted copy of my credit card when
in fact I used moneybookers to deposit.
When I told them this, they then ask for
screen shot of moneybookers account,
which I sent them, but I edited out my
balance and transaction history, as they
had said that they only wanted to see my
name and email address linked to this
account and my balance etc was none of
their business. they refused to let me
access withdrawals untill I sent them
unaltered screen shot, which I
reluctantly did. So what do they do?
they block my access to my account
completly, and do not reply to any
emails I send them. From the looks of
the previous post, it looks like Everest
Poker have started a nice little scam
for themselves. Well they stole over
$400 of my money. BE WARNED!

I must say I am very disapointed with
Everest poker. They have no player
support. There is no telephone number
and they dont reply emails. They blocked
my account 2 days ago, I wrote couple of
emails, but still no answer. It looks
like they just want to take my money.

Everest-Poker is the best site for
european players. I've played there for
one year now. At the very beginning
there were only very few players and it
was hard to find a table, especially
above the micro-limits of fixed limit.
But Everest reacted and reward
limit-players with freerolls and other
promotions. Even the higher SnG and MTT
are running now 24/7 with lots of
entrants. Of course the traffic is not
that high as it is at Pokerstars or
other major sites, but you will always
find a table or more.
The main reason for playing at Everest
are crowds of fishes. Even at higher
limits you will find players that hardly
can spell P-O-K-E-R. 60% seen flop and
huge average pots.
They also improved the software. So you
no longer need to re-login after you've
been disconnected. The graphics and
sounds are also very good. The only
thing I miss are resizeable tables.
The support is not that good. It took 3
days until my last request was answered.
But at least I can communitcate in my
language - German.
I hope that Everest will keep up the
good work. It has lots of potential to
get a really big one.

my .02, as it seems this article hasn´t
been updated for a while.
the software is still functional, they
had an update for the cards and it´s now
possible to play more than 2 hours
without getting eye-cancer. the avatars
are a bit annoying and on 4 positions at
the table you can hardly see the button
behind them. turn them off.
the number of players online isn´t
displayed, but i´ll estimate it close to
titan poker. the days of only one
running $25NL table are over, now you´ll
find up to 50 (6max and full ring)
the fact, that the tables are rotating
and you´re sittin on the same seat at
every table makes multitabling much more
easier, it takes a short look and you
dont have to look for your seat when an
active table pops up.
the competition at the low-stakes is
(even for that limit) really soft. in
peak hours there´s lots of raising and
all-in action going on, you´ll see hands
shown down i wouldn´t even have pushed
in my first party-play-money games a
year ago. lean back, take their money.
sng and mtt players have to adjust their
early stages play, as the initial M here
is 66 (i remember party was 33) and you
have to get used to start with 100
chips.
one BIG NUT: since i´m playing there (6
months now) one bonus i chasing the next
one. i received $100 sign up, followed
by 25, 75 and right now i´m clearing
another $100. i don´t ask why, it´s free
cash.
the technical support is great, you´ll
get fast and detailed replies.
two beats left: u cannot resize the
tables, which is really annoying with
more than one table runnig and my last
vashout into neteller took 48 hours.

Mainly just want to offer a
clarification of the hand history issue
on Everest.

The Hand History option is not great
here, but still better than e.g.
Pacific.
While one cannot get anything other than
the 'chat' format with the graphical
suit illustration, it IS possible to
access seperately from the tables chat
function.

One can go to the "My Account" section
and see tables from the last year and
hands from the last three months.

Not ideal, but better than nothing.

I do not play cash tables... STT, H2H,
or MTT. That having been said, here is
my take on Everest Poker.

Overlook the clunky lobby interface, its
functional. They have a "filter." Name
the stakes, game, and number of people.
It lists those tables.

At the table lose the avatars, otherwise
it's too crowded. The table rotates so
you are at bottom center, no more,
"Where the hell am I?" when your MTT
table breaks.

The software functions well. The slider
is not on steroids or in warp drive. You
can type in a bet. Bets and chip stacks
are plainly shown. When "folding" they
animate the pocket cards as being mucked
on the table.

No problems cashing out, less than 24
hours into my Neteller. Never dealt with
tech support so I dunno.

As far as finding games well, I play
STT's, H2H, and MTT's I never have a
problem finding something going on.

Bonuses, nothing to shout about, but the
best feature, the one that keeps me
going back: you NEVER make an actual
cash deposit to make a cashout. You
don't have to play a Freeroll with 500
fish only to bust out after 2 hours and
miss the money.

They offer a free buy in 10 top limit
game. Pays 5 cent, 3 cent, 2 cent for
1-3. Take your nickel, go to the 5 cent
NL ten top. Win that, go to the dime
table or even the twenty cent table. Win
that... go to the fifty cent table. Win
that and go to the two dollar table. Get
the idea? I started on the free table,
played 6 hours and cashout $25.00

Not a lot of money... but I never made a
deposit. I had a great time and some
very challenging games. You could take
your winning and go to the cash tables
but if yer thing is STT's then Everest
is a blast. They also offer daily MTT
for $1 and there are always 200-300 or
more in that. Start at the free table
and earn you entry fee.

The only drawback is that you have to
get used to starting with 100 chips. The
blinds start at .50/1. Just move the
decimal and think that its 1000 with
blinds starting at
5/10 if you like, but trust me, once you
get used to it, it makes playing NL a
whole new game.

Once you are past the free table, the
blinds go up 10 minutes, very generous
compared to some places. The only place
with blinds longer is Poker Stars with
their 15 minute blinds (that I know
of).

The other biggie is their "Satellite
Tokens." Most place, you win a
satellite, you are tied into a certain
tourney, at a certain time... win that,
you are again forced to play when they
decide in the semifinal and so on.

You play for "Satellite Tokens." These
are used to play in a tourney of your
choosing at a day and time convenient
for you. They do not expire. You even
may accumulate them and then use a group
of them to buy into a big buy in
Sattelite. Imagine starting completely
free table and work your way to a $100
Satelite to the WSOP. Imagine winning
that. You think you can play poker?
Start with ZERO and win your way to the
WSOP.

Everest Poker is a hidden gem. You
simply must try it.
