Everest Poker - Details

Game Variety (8)

Game variety at Everest Poker is currently limited to Texas Hold'em and Omaha, but within those variations there are more than enough games to suit most players.

Ring Game Traffic (8)

Everest Poker's player volume has quickly reached very respectable numbers, with games concentrated in low- and medium-limit Texas Hold'em. Everest Poker has peak cash game traffic of 7,000 real-money players at peak hours (December 2008).

Soft Competition (8)

Overall, the action at Everest Poker is relatively loose with viewed-flop percentages often reaching the 50s and 60s. What makes Everest Poker special is that the loose and potentially profitable games can be found all the way up to the highest stakes, making it at times a veritable heaven for skilled Hold’em players.

Rake (8)

The rake at Everest Poker is lower than industry standards. Rake is 4% up to a maximum of $3, as compared to the usual 5% up to a maximum of around $3-$5. The poker room doesn't take a rake on pots that are less than three times the big blind, on any hands that end before the flop ("no flop, no drop"), on uncalled wagers, or on Fixed-Limit micro-stakes games such as 2¢/4¢ stakes. There is a two-seat-table rake cap of $1 per hand. Based on those exclusions, Everest Poker will take a flat 4% rake only on pots which are at least three times the big blind in real-money hands which have seen the flop.

Support (9)

Support at Everest Poker is really quite impressive, despite only being available via e-mail, as it's offered in over 16 languages including English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Hebrew and Arabic.

Financial Security (8)

Good. Owned by a reputable and publicly traded company and with a spotless track record, Everest Poker deserves high remarks for financial security and safety.
