PokerRoom.com Review
was one of the first online poker rooms. It launched in 1999 with play money tables only, but has served up real money games since 2001. Since the US legislation which made online gambling transactions illegal, PokerRoom has eliminated US players from its "real money" tables. This has lead to a decline in traffic, but even so, PokerRoom remains one of the top online poker sites in the world.
PokerRoom offers a large list of games: No Limit and Limit Hold'Em, Omaha, 7 Card Stud and 5 Card Draw. PokerRoom's short handed tables are 5-max instead of the 6-max we would see on FullTilt and PokerStars. They also offer a wide range of heads up tables. As far as tournaments, they offer SnG's from 1 dollar to 500 dollars in full table, short handed, and heads up. They also have many scheduled tournaments with guaranteed prize pools of over $100,000 and satellites to large live tournaments like the WSOP.
PokerRoom also allows you to bring your home game to the internet. You can set up a game among your friends in a matter of minutes with whatever stakes for cash games or tournaments you please, right on the poker client interface. Furthermore, they offer "Team Play" where you can set up teams or join an existing team where you will enter "team tournaments". In these tournaments you will be sharing buy-ins and winnings with your team. The team will be split to play against members of the other teams and awarded points on their finish in the round. Payouts are then awarded by the payout structure for that particular event.
PokerRoom is also the first online poker client to have the e-Commerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance (eCOGRA) seal of approval. eCOGRA, is "a non-profit organization, is the independent standards authority of the online gaming industry, specifically overseeing fair gaming, player protection and responsible operator conduct. The function that eCOGRA performs protects those who engage in online gaming where it is lawful".
In addition to poker, you can convert your account money into “Casino Chips” and play other casino games on your web browser. Popular games such as Blackjack, Let It Ride, Video Poker, Roulette, Slots, Craps, Baccarat and Pai Gow attract hundreds of players going for some nice payouts ranging from the thousands to the tens of thousands for the highest jackpot prizes.
Poker Room is a Thawte Secure Site and is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.

PokerRoom.com Software Interface/Usability
offers an interface with the best graphics around. They have realistic 3D avatars sitting at the table as you play; so if you can be a bald guy, James Bond, or a hustler grandma while you play poker if you feel so inclined. If you prefer, you can also turn these off.
The lobby at PokerRoom is very straight forward and easy to use. Each type of game can be split between different stakes and amount of players in your search. Furthermore, they show average pot size, hands per hour, and players to the flop. Each player's stack is also right in front of you in the lobby. The only downside to the client is that player search, hand histories, cashier, and account info are not accessible in the client directly. In the lobby they are links to different web pages.
At the tables themselves, there is a very nice set-up. At the bottom of the screen they tell you how big the pot is, what the last bet was, and exactly how much rake has been taken, all in digital values. On the bottom right they have chat which also tells you the action. Another cool feature is during an all-in, they show the percentages for each hand winning and continue as they change during the flop, turn, and river. This way you can know if you were right about your decision or just how sucked out you got to an exact value.
A cool feature of PokerRoom is the "Instant Play" online capability. You can play any of the tables online without downloading the client. Most poker clients are large and take up a lot of disk space so this is a good feature for those of us with other things cluttering out hard disk. Not only can you play on your browser without downloading the client but you can also take out the donkeys on your mobile phone from any location where you have WiFi to your cell.
You can have all your PokerRoom hand history files automatically saved to your computer. These HHs can then be used with Poker Tracker to keep track of your progress.

PokerRoom.com Poker Room Action
is a fairly large poker site so finding a table is not a problem. Hold'Em seems to be far and away the game of choice. There are plenty of tables full or almost full in every limit of Hold'Em with no waiting list. They even have a fairly regular $50/$100 No Limit game. Also, a ton of action at $10/$20, $5/$10, and $3/$6. Omaha still offers a good game but it may take a little longer to find it. There is little action on the higher stakes Omaha tables. Though, 7 Card Stud and 5 Card Draw have plenty of action through all the limits. SnG's throughout the buy-ins fill pretty quickly. It's certainly easier to get one going in the $5-$50 range though, you may be waiting a little bit at the $100-$500 ones. You will not have trouble with traffic at PokerRoom.

PokerRoom.com Customer and Technical Support
offers great support and with many different options. First, there is the email route which garners quick and helpful responses. Also, they offer 24 hour live chat with a customer service representative. The chat is a little slow, but they are happy to answer all of your questions. A special feature of PokerRoom's customer service is they offer 24 hour phone support in the US, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Norway, United Kingdom, and New Zealand, and they put your account reference number right below the phone number for ease of access.

PokerRoom's Ease of Game, Ease of Making Money, Fish Rating
For the most part appears to be quite fishy. At the lower stakes we see a lot of calling stations and spewers. Mid-stakes no limit is a gold mine. There seems to be almost no regs and a massive quantity of open-shoves with AJ suited and calls with J8 suited. If you ever find a full stack at the table (it is extremely rare) it is either a reg or pure luck and it is easy to figure out which in minutes. It appears a one could have a pretty massive win rate at these tables.

PokerRoom Promotion Code & Bonus
offers an
exclusive FTR bonus allowing 40% initial deposit bonus up to $200, which is twice as good as PokerRoom's standard 20% up to $100. Make sure you use the PokerRoom Promotion Code FTR for this special bonus! Bonuses are released by earning player points. Each dollar requires 7 player points. So, the full amount of $200 would require 1400 player points. Raked hands of $.50 to $.99 earn 0.5 player points each, while each raked hand of $1 or more earns 1 point.
It sounds a bit confusing, but player point information can easily be checked via the My Account (Cashier) button. Bonuses are not released into your real money account until the full amount is earned. Multi-tabling at the stakes I play at for just a few days, this was no problem to clear -- long before the bonus expiration of 60 days.
Again, be sure to use our exclusive Bonus Promotion Code: FTR to get this exclusive bonus.
PokerRoom.com also offers a lot of player point related promotions, such as WSOP qualifiers, freerolls, etc.
is a nice
addition to your list of hangouts, stop by some time
and check it out.

 “PokerRoom is SOLID!” by Rick, 31 May 2006 |
Interface:  Action: Support: Fish: Bonus: |
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! |

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

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
folds...K72, is flop(rainbow), I chk, he
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! |
