Poker Room
The Poker Room.com is one of the latest poker rooms to open. What makes this site stand out from the crowd is that it offers online poker without the need for downloading any poker room software. The entire game is played through your browser window using Java.

This online poker site has managed to get real soft games over the last 6 months with their huge traffic increase. PokerRoom.com is the best choice for Mac-users, who can play without any special installs.

PokerRoom.com offers great statistical analysis of your game and an open database of the hands played at the site. The games have become very juicy lately where soft games are found even up to $5/$10 no-limit Texas Holdem.

Traffic
The traffic at poker room.com is concentrated to the Holdem and tournament section. A large proportion of the games are short-handed tables with 5 or 6 players Real money player statistics - March 2005: 2300-2700 ring game players at peak hours, 4000-6000 tournament players at peak hours.

Playability
A great variation they offer is the lite version. The graphics are crisper than most other online sites and the game runs a lot smoother than in download versions. The lite version allows people with slower connections to play at the Poker Room online. There is also a download version as well, which has very nice graphics.

Good variety of games are on offer, Texas Holdem. Pot- and no-limit games as well as Omaha and seven-card stud (both Hi and Hi-Lo) were launched in the spring and summer 2004. (Omaha is both available in fixed-, pot- and no-limit where the no-limit version is rather unusual for Omaha, in particular in the Omaha High version).

Software
Widely regarded as one of the leaders with its clean, sleek and reliable graphics and software. The software is available as both Java applet and as standard Windows download. The Java version is a great feature for Linux and Mac users who otherwise need a Windows emulator. The Java version is also for certain users who cannot download programs to the computer. The lobby is a bit tricky to use, as you need to click on each table to get the full statistics.

Customer services
There are both live chat and telephone support 24/7 plus email support, which is reasonably quick.

Have not tried it yet - but hope to soon.
Does anyone have any feelings about this site(good/bad)-- i would like to know before i try it out.

clarkyballs

I would not base my opinion of a particular site on the amount of freerolls they hold.

It is one of my favourite pokerrooms. I play there for more than 1 year and yes, you can win some money there. I don't play the freerolls there because (there you are right kirby) there are better freerolls with less people or bigger prices elsewhere. But the lucky-dollar tournaments are great and I play them often. The software is nice and clean, the bad-bead-ratio is about average and even if you only play the 1$ buy-in tourneys you earn some loyality-points that you can spend for tournament-tickets.
One of the best pokerroms I know for people who like to play MTTs with small buy-ins.
The quality of the players there is about average I think.
I also never had any problems there, never seen a tournament cancelled, cash-outs are processed very quick and the client never crashed in more than 1 year.

Thumbs up for pokerroom.com.

Good luck at the tables,
Fusspilz.
