Crazy Poker.com Overview
In October 2009, Vegas Parnter Lounge, owners of , combined Crazy Poker with 2 of their other Poker Rooms to create a new and improved Crazy Poker! As part of the Prima Poker Network there are many, many fish at the lower limits here and, if you're a high roller, there are higher limits here than at Party Poker or PokerStars.
The games offered at Crazy Poker are Texas Hold'em; Omaha; Omaha Hi/Lo; 7 Card Stud; and 5 Card Stud. All games can be played as Fixed-limit, Pot-limit, and No-limit. The lowest limits for NL are $0.05-$0.10 which, while not being micro limit, is still quite low. Albeit Crazy Poker does not have the same quantity of players as Party Poker or PokerStars, there are always open tables ready for play.
Crazy Poker also always has a slew of great promotions going on. They have weekly €100K tournaments, over €20K in monthly freerolls, satellites to all the major poker events all over the world, and a progressive bad beat jackpot!
CrazyPoker offers multiple options for deposits. You can use:
NetTeller
Click2Pay (UK and Germany)
Moneybookers.com
PaySpark
UseMyBank (Canada)
Debit Cards (Switch, Delta, or Solo Card)
Credit Cards (Visa or Mastercard)

Crazy Poker.com Software Interface/Usability
The software, while not very pretty, is fairly easy to use. The lobby is bland but has all the essentials: hide full/empty tables, average pot, hands per hour, etc.
The actual game play at Crazy Poker is very smooth and fast. The dark colors are easy on the eyes. There are no distracting, bandwidth-wasting avatars. A loading bar shows you how long you have left in your turn. Right clicking gives you the option to add player notes and to check where the player is from. The only annoying thing is that you must move your mouse over the bet amounts to see how much other players have bet. The pot amount is in the middle of the table, which makes it easy to track.
There are 3 table settings - large, normal (large without an external chatbox) and mini. If you have a low resolution monitor you can multi-table easier with the mini setting, as you will be able to fit more of them on your screen.
The hand-histories are one of the best parts of Crazy Poker’s software. You can instantly save as many hands as you want onto your hard drive (from the game you are playing) and check what your opponent had. This makes for easier reads.
You can set up private cash tables, Sit & Go tourneys, and Multi-Table Tournaments for you and your friends very easily on Crazy Poker.
Another handy feature is the ‘Quick Search’ in the main lobby, which lets you find particular ring games or SnGs without the hassle of clicking around in the lobby.
CrazyPoker.com Poker Room Action
There are many players from around the world on , so there will be action whenever you log on, wherever you live. There are MTTs running frequently and lower stakes SnG tables fill up quite fast.
Although the player base is not as big as the larger sites (PartyPoker and PokerStars), the Prima network is large enough that you will be able to find a game that suits you, most of the time.
CrazyPoker's Ease of Game, Ease of Making Money, Fish Rating
It’s very fishy at .
At the lowest limits there were pre-flop pushes with AXo (Ace + any off-suit besides an ace) and other junk, which made it fairly easy to clean up at those tables. There weren't whole tables of fish though. There were some decent players, even at low limits.
Rumor has it that there are decent players at mid limits (100NL) although we have yet to advance there.

Crazy Poker.com Customer and Technical Support
The technical support crew at the Prima network is very efficient at replying to your emails. They also have a live chat feature on their main site. In addition, there are toll-free numbers to call.
We haven't had an opportunity to contact the support crew yet. However, FTR member SixT-4 reported that he had to contact customer service in order to get his username and password, which he found very annoying. He did say that the live staff support was quick and friendly.
