Online - Room Review
PokerRoom.com
Overview
In addition to poker, this site offers blackjack, baccarat and Chinese poker. Only e-mail
based support is provided, but with a good response time generally. Pokerroom has set up a
community where you can find articles by well known authors and discuss various topics in
their forum.
Software
The software is offered in two formats: Windows download or Java applet. The Java version is a definite
advantage for Mac and Linux users or anyone not permitted to install downloaded software on
their PC (Poker at work? Yipee!). Users of the Java software have a choice between the
standard version and a "lite" version with lower quality graphics. Pokerroom offers more
detailed statistics on your play than any other cardroom including % of flops seen, % of
showdowns won, number of bets W/L on each hand and hourly W/L rate. You can also see stats
for the whole website like results for each starting hand combination by position and a list
of pocket cards ranked by profit updated in real time. One of the few sites to offer keyboard
shortcuts, they are the first site to have a random delay on the "act in turn" buttons to
allow use without fear of giving away a tell.
Promotions
First time deposit bonus 20% up to $100. Players earn points for each raked hand played, the points can be used
for tournament buy-ins or redeemed for cash and the player with the most points per day is
awarded $250.
