I joined Sun Poker very recently because of its dynamic variety of online Poker room and its hugely popular network, ipoker, which has suitable attachments to other famous online Poker rooms like the Titan, Chili and Noble Poker. I have also found out that The Sun is highly secured with the RSA encryption and being registered under Waterlogic software.
Sun Poker room has a number of variations regarding the Texas Holdem variations, Omaha, the unique Seven Card Stud and the Omaha Hi/Lo. There are the occasional bonus and jackpot events with bonus cash prizes of $2500 every day. The online gaming software package is quite sound being part of Waterlogic and Playtech, which allow the online update, streamline, the lobby system and customization of the Microgaming system. It does not allow graphic merging and disconnections, but there is more room for further improvement.
The popularity and traffic of the site has been quite up to the mark and reaches the standard limit of around 8000 during peak hours due to the networking facilities of ipoker. I have been particularly impressed with the initial $1,000 entry poker bonus guide and the fast claimed and high staked weekly and weekend events comprising approximately $400,000 cash prizes.
Besides these, I have discovered the supremely fast email and telephone system support to be quite handy. There is also a wholesome of cashout and deposit franchises such as: Credit Card, FirePay, Bank Transfer, PaySafeCard, Moneybookers, UseMyBank, Citadel and ewalletXpress, Again, the options for credit are NETeller, Moneybookers, WireCard, EcoCard and Bank Draft.
The lack of US player presence does add a dent, but further enhancements of the gaming software are the features, which makes Sun Poker to be a hugely popular Poker site.
Party Poker is the home of three time World Poker Tour winner Gus Hansen and provides for an enjoyable and state-of-the-art online poker experience. You will also run across Swedish poker star Erik Sagstrom "Erik123" on their site. The card room software is unique, fast, lets you play up to 6 tables at the same time, and has a hi-tech look and feel. Another benefit of PokerChamps is that players can earn up to 50% rake back (increases as you play more).
This site does not currently have a large player database because of their decision to disallow users from the United States to involve with their website (Since October 2006). Until then, party poker was party indeed. The poker was fun, if not anything with freebies being given away for absolutely no reason at all. You stand to win X box 360's and bigger prizes to play poker in a fun, happy and very green environment. Now who wouldn't want to enrol in Party Poker?
But the bonuses and promotions are very lucrative. There is 100% match up Welcome bonus with a maximum of $500. Their monthly tournaments run into millions sometimes which draws players to them in hordes.
Party Poker hosts a range of modes to play poker. Few of them consist of no limit, pot limit, and fixed limit tournaments. These can be played with either real or virtual money. A grand annual tournament is held which is known as the Party Poker Million tournament. This is celebrated with great splendour and the final level of this competition is held on a cruise.
From my fleeting experience at Diamondbet, i realised one of two things. You either have to be very good, or very rich. For starters, the minimum bankroll you must have in order to be able to play is 500Euros. Now, on the bright side, a majority of the players are very rich amateurs. So even if you're semi pro, and can afford 500 bucks, Diamondbet is the place to be.
The interface is very smooth and easy on the eye, as you would expect for a host of such suave and elite clientele. Not surprisingly, Omaha and Hold’em are the most popular and the best tables to be at too. But as everywhere, the very concept of No Limit allows even the inexperienced ones to place a lot of trust in their cash rather than their cards and results in a lot of hasty all in's( 150 ) A feel of what you might face in a 1/2 Euro Blinds NL Hold’em Table. The first hand i watch, there's a bet, a two bet and a third bet before the call on both the flop and the turn.
And the river is Check. Winning hand, Pair of threes. So I’m thinking, if I catch a hand and come up against one of these fellows, I’m going go home rich. So I fold all mediocre hands until I have the pretzels ( pocket eights ) and I make it three times the big blind to go pre flop. The guy next to me moves all in for 30 Euros. I call. And I’m jumping with joy when I see he has a pair of 5's. Woe hits me as the board turns up 5 - King - 5 on the flop. He made four 5's and that was my last on that table. But overall it was really amusing to be at Diamondbet. Even though I didn’t win finally.
