PokerRoom.com

Great poker room, I've played at about
6 and I personally dig PokerRoom the
most. They have some really cool
features, great tourneys, fantastic
interface, a lot of traffic,
micro-stakes, and very good support.
What can I say, I keep coming back. If
you haven't tried PokerRoom, give it a
go, you may not ever leave!

PokerRoom.com is a great choice. Killer
graphics, lots of players and action,
and compatible w/ Mac and Linux. Smooth
gameplay and interface for the
downloaded client. I haven't played
the no download version. Pretty fishy
at the lower limits where I play, still
doing well at the low stakes no limit
tables. I'll be playing here for a
while.

I learnt to play at Pokerroom and I
still like its look and feel best. The
ease with which you can create private
tables is a big plus; the software is
excellent, and the percentage calculator
when players are all-in is an excellent
touch. 5-handed tables are good fun, the
forum/community aspect is strong, and
you can play poker without downloading a
client. It's not all that fishy, and is
not great for bonuses. But it's got the
solidest and most professional feel of
the 6 sites I have joined.

This room is no substitute for your
bonus fix if that's what you're after.
The look of the table is nice and the
action is ok-- when it's working.
I've had 4 disconnections in 3 days of
using the site and I'm cashing out now
without getting the bonus as it's a
LONG way away. The bonus would be tough
to reach at my low limits but I had
thought it was doable. However, the
disconnects torpedo any desire I have to
get the bonus. I'd just as soon take
my lumps and losses for now. Lots of
loose action at the .25/.50 tables. The
.5/1 tables are a little tighter but
still rather loose, with accompanying
bad beats that go with so many callers
in a pot. I like loose tables but the
frequent disconnects make this site and
its bonus unplayable.

First time deposit on pokerroom last
night. Getting decent bonus promotion.
Interface
is
very fast and looks pleasant enough.
Action buttons are a bit close together
and time allowed for action is too
short, especially if mutlitabling.
Found full rings at .5-1 stakes easily.

Waits were short. Players seemed quite
passive and there were quite a few
calling stations. Not bad overall for
an aggressive player. Edit {Bad Beat
Story Removed}

The players here are absolutely
horrible. Lots of bad beats, but lots
of money to be made if you can handle
the cheesy graphics, and ridiculous egos
in chat. Don't hit the play money
tables if you're any good. I always
like to hit some play tables to test a
site before I "invest". I found you
can actually be voted off! After
kicking the crap out of the table, they
held a vote. I was alowed to stay by
one vote. Was not even chatting - just
winning! They were actually going to
boot me from their table for winning
PLAY MONEY! I only play this site to
when I am at my mother-in-laws because
she has a MAC and MACS don't suppoert
Poker Stars. (Okay I occassionally will
play when it's more about making some
easy money than playin in a fun,
challenging game.)

GREAT FOR FISHING. NOT MUCH ELSE.

Nice to look at, good bonuses, phone
support, loads of fish, easy to use

I would say I have played on them all
that are worth playing on and PokerRoom
is quite simply the nicest looking, most
fun place to play. They have great games
(need more micro limits) for all levels
with an easy to understand interface.
Their download software is genius with
the best features Ive ever seen (now
gives the odds when you go all in) and
theyve even got a pretty cool casino.
The players can be tough (with their
mouths aswell) but have found their
support extremely helpful in all
aspects. Lots of bonuses if you keep
your eyes open, and if you do get bored,
just visit their newly revamped Forum
"Pokah!". Its Hilarious!!!

The interface is a joke. Why be the
biggest if you can't produce something
better than that? The games seem much
easier than the other sites I've been
to, but dealing with the clunky
interface seems to get progressively
annoying. Their customer service is
horrible and I'm really not impressed
with their bonus structure either.

I learned and started here....Was down
about 400 the first 6 months, then I got
involved with their posting
site(pokah.com...little substance, since
the Poker Rush of 2003/04), created my
own group, made some decent posts and
suggestions buttering up support a
tad....bam was off and running, made all
my money back plus $500, made a
withdrawl for $300, leaving me with $175
of free money to play with, from that
day forth it all started to unravel, I
struggled a little for a bit, withdrew
$200(2wkslater), kept $100...But was
starting to get annoyed at the play and
influx of young idiots and decided to
chk out some other sites, didn't see
too much better...so I went back.
BIG MISTAKE!
SINCE NOV. 24,I HAVE WON EXACTLY "TWO"
BIG BETs
---had 73o in BB(4/10 left in 20+2
SnGo)flopped the nuts 773.T. K...chpldr
went all in w/ AA at turn, take half his
stack..He is FULL TILT...moves all in
nxt hand, How sweet of him...CAUSE I GOT
THE ROCKETS IN MY POCKET..He shows 23o,
Flop:482.32....Game over for me!
Over the last 6 mos(played, 1st time in
while lastnight...$1/2ring, just to see)
Started too good, AA, AJs, QQ, win all 3
hands, last one with trips vs KK, for
$50 win, Next hand...I($72.5) get KK in
BB, everyone chks,sb calls, I raise $4,
same guy calls($73), evryone else

bets $12, I re-raise to $24....he goes
all in..I call...turn: 2 river: 2...
I know it happens, but still...add it
up.
2 withdrawls, couple of Neg replies to
posts, started playing with other
sites...NOT A PENNY IN PROFIT
SINCE....OH AND ALL THOSE OLD PLAYER
POINTS I HAD...ONCE EQUAL TO REAL $, ARE
NOW WORTHLESS!
I know more than a few with similar
issues....

USED TO BE MY ONE AND ONLY, I KEEP
TRYING TO GO BACK, BUT IT JUST ISNT AS
GOOD AS IT USED TO BE!

Pokerroom is probably one of the best
sites ive come across. Its better than
partypoker and pacificpoker. lots of
action all the time but the support
kinda blows.

Played on there for over 2 years. Cards
are definitely NOT completely random.
You will see AA vs KK way more than is
statistically possible. Lots of very
high hands. I believe everyone gets
even distribution but hands are hopped
up to increase the action.

Too bad because it is a great program
with a great interface and very easy to
use.

Pokerroom.com is the site i started out
on playing, I think the Interface &
graphics are still the best ive come
across out there. theres always decent
action goin on but the players here are
a little better than the ones ive found
on sites like party and empire. Other
than the initial signup bonus i dont
think they have many others, and when
they do it seems to be par with what you
find on other sites.

I like the interface and their tagging
system. You can get action any time
although there is less choice than at
Empire/Party. I have found the customer
support to be excellent and their
payouts over 1k are fast and basically
at no cost to you. They do have
occasional issues with connectivity but
in the one tournament where that
affected me they paid out the remaining
participants on a pro rata basis. I like
the mix of players, there appear to be
fewer whiners than at some other sites.
Bonuses are about average, nice free
tournaments for starting/micro players.

For what it's worth I really enjoy
playing pokerroom.com. Not to say that
it
doesn't have its faults but overall I
think it's a great site. Unfortunately,
I own
a mac and since I don't want to spring
for Virtual PC I'm forced to play on
sites that accepts macs. And the list is
small. But eventhough I have a lack of
choices I have no complaints. The
sign-up process was painless got my
bonus pretty quickly and I haven't had
huge connection issues. The site is a
breeze to move through and there's
always action. The interface is simple
and
direct. The characters that represent
the players get a little tiring to look
at
after awhile but it's not going to stop
me from playing. As for the action.
Tons of tables both ring, multi and
single table. I stick to the single
table
action and can find a game at the level
I want to play no problem.
Technical support: on a technical level
I haven't had any huge issues but I
will
get bumped off on the rare occasion.
As for technical support: I wouldn't
say it blows but I sent them two emails

about collusion and heard nothing back.
I would assume that this is their
highest priority so it's a little bit
of a negative. But since I sent the
email I
haven't seen the players that were
cheating So hopefully they took care of
the
problem. As for ease of game. I'll just
put it this way... There are plenty of
fish
in the sea.

Technical/Customer Support - worst
responsiveness and decision making of
any online poker company. They fail to
answer correspondence regularly and
block people based on hearsay and poorly
researched information. Rules are not
evenly enforced.

Servers fail often. Split in servers
does not accomodate planned games for
all parties. Forum moderation is
laughable.

Lowest possible rating.

I've played at PR since 2001. Still do,
but that is changing as I try other
sites. I play the SNG's almost
exclusively. (I do like PR's SNG's,
but one too many disconnects when down
to 4 handed is getting hard to take)
Interface: I like it. But its the 1st
one I learned too, so take that for what
its worth.
Action: I never have trouble finding a
game.
Technical/Customer support: Absolutely
Terrible. I've had numerous emails that
have never been responded to. (numerous
= more than 3, less than 10). One email
to report collusion: no reply. Three
times on disconnects in critical
situations: no reply. Pokerroom does
warn of no allin protection, so you are
forewarned. (I've experienced far more
than 3, but these were pokerrooms system
and had a direct impact on outcome).
After a withdraw was rejected by
neteller I found the phone number to
support. That got fixed in less that an
hour. (more on collusion can be found at
pokerrooms forum Pokah! "A warning to
MTT players". Judge for yourself).
Ease of games: I've went from knowing
nothing to better than holding my own.
IMO I think there is a good mix.
Bonus/promotions: A pokerroom plus. You
can earn bonus points through tournament
play. Not many offer that. I find it
fairly easy to achieve in @ 2-3 weeks.

Pros: good UI, excellent SnG structure
(never have to wait), good range of
buy-in levels for the serious player.

Cons: poor hand history function (one
hand at a time), $1 fee on $5 SnG (most
others are $0.50) so you play $10+1 or
higher, no micro limit tournaments, very
few freerolls.

Regarding the players, I like the mix.
Some fish, some tight, some loose.

I have been playing on Pokerroom for 6
months now and it is great. The graphics
are so awesome, way better than any
other site, except for maybe
pokerstars.com. The main attraction is
easy to use interface, getting to tables
is so easy. Especially useful if you
and a friend are trying to get to a
table...they load quickly and actually
have names so it is easy to tell a
friend what table you are at.
PartyPoker, the so call best in the
buisness, is terrible with this, their
tables just have a seven digit number.
Also they have a feature where you can
find out if a friend is online and
playing at their site with a
playersearch button. Pokerroom is the
cream of the crop when it comes to
online poker. Some times the beats seem
exceedingly frequent and bad, but that
is just poker. People dont' like to
loose and when they do they want to
blame the site, not their play. I would
recomend pokerroom to all!!

Overall I think the server itself has
set the standard for usability and
attractive sophisitcation. However, I
think the majority of the players on the
server aren't as good as you'd see
elsewhere. I still prefer this server
over most, for the look of it, and how
easy it is to use. Nothing about it is
confusing except maybe the players
skills. Which could be good or bad!

Pokerroom.com seems to have fewer frills
than any other site out there. The GUI
is simple and easy to follow. The
button commands make moving chips into
pots without a mouse quite simple. The
sit-and-go qualifiers are plentiful and
at most put you one step from making
substantial money. The monthly draw
gives you a chance to earn a fully paid
seat to a WPT event, and the multi-table
tournaments are smooth with fair
payouts. Plentiful bad beats make some
folk refer to the server as Jokerroom,
but that is just poker and the emotional
roller coaster associated. All in all,
pokerroom is your basic, no non-sense
online poker server. I love it!

Attractive interface. Easy-to-earn
bonuses, though, I didn't get many
reload bonus offers. Plenty of action.
Playable on ANY computer with a web
browser.

Only drawback is the Windows download
client still goes through the web for
common features like cashier and hand
histories. This isn't too much trouble,
though, as I don't need those features
very often.
