A Player’s Review of PokerRoom

Posted in Entertainment, Games on 06.01.12

There are hundreds of poker websites out there where you can sit down and play a game of poker. Choosing between the many websites wasn’t extremely hard as I simply glanced through the list of the top websites, where I discovered PokerRoom. Though I was unfamiliar with the online poker room, the other reviews prompted me to give it a try and

One thing that really set Pokerroom.com apart from the other poker websites was the amount of information that was available to the player while they are taking part in the game. Sitting down to play a few hands, I was in awe at the statistics and information present on the screen and hadn’t seen this feature through any of the other online poker sites. This might be confusing for players that are new to the game, but the players will quickly learn to use these statistics and information to their advantage.

Play is easy to learn and in addition to using the mouse to make moves while taking part in cash poker games there are simple to use shortcut buttons that can help to do everything from call to raise the pot. They easy to use shortcuts are as simple as pressing the amount that you would like to raise the pot, and clicking on F3 after the amount to raise the pot. Using these shortcuts, the mouse is only required to fold or to check, making it a great way to stay in the game, especially through those long tournaments.

The interface combined with the quick action play make PokerRoom a sure winner in the game. Players can expect fast game play and little waits for other players, and can expect ever growing popularity throughout the games and even improved features as the popular website gears up to make its comeback to the game of online real money poker.

PokerRoom.com Comeback Sooner than Expected?

Posted in Entertainment, Games on 01.01.12

For the last few weeks we have been hearing rumours regarding the opening of the popular online poker room, PokerRoom that was forced to close down in 2009 for financial reasons. After nearly ten years in operation players were unhappy to see the popular poker website close down, as it had been one of the first online poker rooms to give the players the experience of playing for real money online – and also one of the first to develop online poker play that was Mac friendly.

The first indication that something big was in the works came from a tweet that indicated that the SEO of bwin was excited that the opening was in the works. The tweet was quickly removed and the SEO stated that he might have been ahead of himself – but rumours and speculation were in the works as a banner for the website had been changed from one directing the players to PartyPoker, to a banner that said the website was coming back to the future. For players that have experienced the online game play that comes with PokerRoom, this means only one thing – PokerRoom was making a comeback and they would soon be able to play at one of their favourite cash poker websites.

Though the banner had been changed players were once again speculating, as were popular poker forums and news websites, at the return of the poker giant. Representatives of PokerRoom didn’t go as far to confirm or deny whether the website was going to be making a comeback, but they did say that they would have an open mind about it and were considering it.

This, combined with the fact that the website is now ‘under construction’ leads us to believe that PokerRoom is going to be back – and back sooner than later. Welcome back PokerRoom.
