Purple Lounge Poker Overview

As a part of the Prima Poker Network, Purple Lounge shares players with Battlefield Poker, Crazy Poker, PokerTime, and other rooms. Unfortunately, the Prima Poker Network does not accept any US players.

Purple Lounge is a strangely named and, not surprisingly, very purple poker room. The large Prima Poker network provides it with a good solid user base. In addition to Texas Hold’em, you can find plenty of action on 5 Card Draw and Omaha Hi-Lo variants. There is 5/7 Card Stud and Razz available but these are less popular. Most players will be found seated at the low/mid staked NLHE tables, spread across currencies. It is IMPORTANT to make sure you note the currency of the table as you sit down, because $100 NL is very different to €100 NL. You can select either Euro (€) or US Dollar($) as your currency, and you can deposit and withdraw using NETeller, credit/debit cards, or bank transfers.

There are a variety of tournaments offered at Purple Lounge including daily guaranteed prize pools of $1.75k (with a $3.50 buy-in), $2.75k ($11 buy-in), $3k ($16.50 buy-in), $17.5k ($22 buy-in), and $20k ($27.50 buy-in). They also offer a weekly $150k ($65 buy-in) tournament on Sundays. As long as you play at real money tables you can also register for the Deep Purple $20,000 freeroll on the second Saturday of every month. The more action you play during the previous 30 days, the better your stack size in the Deep Purple! You can increase your starting stack from 2,000 chips up to 10,000 by playing for 20 days (40 hours) during the preceding month.

Purple Lounge Software Interface/Usability

The Purple Lounge account setup is nice and easy, although an activation email is required in order to complete the registration and connect to the real cash poker games. However, it sometimes takes 20 minutes for this email to arrive – not a lifetime, but for first time sign up to a new site it is unnecessarily long and those desperate to play might go find another site, join it, deposit money, and start playing. Little things like this can cost a site a lot of potential players.

The Purple Lounge lobby is nicely laid out, and the average $ pot and players/flop are displayed as one would expect from all poker sites these days. Purple Lounge also recently upgraded their software to include an alternate lobby which utilizes a slider to filter cash game stakes. You can switch between the old and new lobbies at the click of a button. You can have your own unique avatar or, if you wish, turn them off completely. There is also a hand replay feature, which can be very useful (acts as an instant HH viewer). Use it to find out what the other players called you to the river with, even if they muck their hand! All the above features and many, many more are customizable by the player, meaning the choice is yours as to how you play!

There are plenty of options to customize at Purple Lounge , such as switching specific table animations on and off. This is one of the few sites that offers a “Mini-View” option for the tables – which is superb – and allows you to play up to 5 tables at a time with no overlap at all. It takes a little getting used to, but if you like to multi-table and don’t have a huge monitor, this feature alone could make this site worth playing over any other. With Mini-View you can cut down the graphics on your screen, leaving you with just the important information you need to win. (Tip: when using Mini-view, move tables by clicking in the middle of them.)

There is also a web-based “Flash” version of the poker client which means you can play on non-Windows machines (or sneak in a game of poker while at the office).

The software runs extremely well and cannot be faulted. You can also save HH files on your computer and use them with Poker Tracker to track how well you are crushing the games!
