Sportsbook Poker - Details

Game Variety (7)

Sportsbook Poker offers a very nice variety of games, with Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi-Lo, Omaha Hi, Five-Card Stud Hi and Seven-Card Stud Hi all available in Limit and Pot-Limit. Hold'em is also offered in No-Limit of course. Table stakes range from 4¢/8¢ to $100/$200 in the fixed games and 2¢/4¢ to $50/$100 in Pot-Limit and No-Limit games.

The relatively active player base also ensures action at all varieties during peak hours, making Sportsbook Poker a great choice for most players.

Ring Game Traffic (7)

Traffic at Sportsbook 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. Sportsbook Poker has cash-game traffic of 1,700 real-money players during peak hours (December 2008).

Soft Competition (8)

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

Rake (7)

The rake at Sportsbook 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, and short-handed tables actually give 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)

Sportsbook Poker offers support via e-mail, live chat and a 24/7 support phone number. Response time and friendliness is top notch and answers are accurate.
