Planet Poker Review

Planet Poker

At first glance, I felt that this poker room was not that great. It seemed very empty and I waited for ages to get a table at 7 Card Stud. Then I realised that there are so many games to choose from that it is natural that not every single room available would have people in it. Planet Poker is also one of the few Poker Rooms to offer extra games such as "Draw" and "Low ball". Once I got into the swing of things, I found myself quite entertained and enjoying the games a lot. The system is clean and runs stabily.

This is a good poker room for the experienced Poker player. A very well organised and smooth running poker room for fast play with all the trimmings you could need.

They offer various promos and tournaments, so watch the promo page for regular updates. Than you can show your skills and be rewarded with prizes, money and and naturally the prestige of competing with some of the best players around.
