PlayersOnly Poker - Details

Game Variety (9)

PlayersOnly Poker has a reasonable amount of game variety and offers all variations of Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud, and Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo. The relatively active player base ensures action at all varieties of poker at peak hours, making PlayersOnly Poker a great choice for most players.

The games vary between No-Limit, Pot-Limit and Fixed-Limit, with full-table games, short-handed and heads-up tables all available. The games are concentrated in No-Limit Hold'em, in particular at the small and middle levels.

Ring Game Traffic (7)

Traffic at PlayersOnly Poker is still in the lower end of the spectrum, but the players are active and most levels of Texas Hold'em are almost always populated. PlayersOnly Poker has peak cash-game traffic of 1,700 real-money players at peak hours (October 2008).

Soft Competition (8)

The traffic is busiest at the lower stakes, where the games vary from relatively loose to very loose - often boasting a viewed-flop percentage that reaches upwards of 50%-60% at full tables. This translates to juicy and loose games for the small- to middle-stakes player.

Rake (7)

The rake at PlayersOnly Poker is just under the industry average at 5%, with a $3 maximum rake at any game. There is a "no flop, no drop" policy, allowing pots where there isn't a flop seen to be rake free. The rake varies depending on the number of players at the table, where short-handed tables actually give the players a nice rake rebate at most limits, capping the rake at $1 for 2-3 players, $2 for 4-5 players and only taking the maximum $3 when a table is populated by six players or more.

Support (9)

PlayersOnly Poker offers telephone, e-mail and live chat support. Responses are quite fast and answers are of good quality.

Financial Security (7)

Very good. Even though PlayersOnly Poker is a relatively new addition to the poker world, the financial security is very good. The parent company is Sportsbook.com, a company with a very solid reputation and an impeccable financial track record. No transaction errors reported.
