RAKE / SECURITY / AUDIT AT LADBROKES POKER
Ladbrokes Poker is monitored by PWC under the provisions of their gaming licence. Auditors also review their random number generation code & the randomness of the cards dealt to ensure fair play. The Rake (weighted–contributed rake method) is 5% of the pot size, max $3.00. Fair.
TRAFFIC / PLAYER NUMBERS
Player numbers regularly are up to 35,000 at peak times playing at virtual poker tables. A busy poker room (on a busy poker network - so lots of player liquidity, action aplenty & great fishing, especially at the mid stakes tables. Some of the best high stakes cash game poker on the net).
PLAY POKER GAMES, TOURNAMENTS, FREEROLLS
Texas Hold'Em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven Card Stud and Five Card Stud are all available with a range of pot limit, no limit and tournament play usually available round the clock. Ladbrokes offers a Private Table feature so you can host your own poker games - choose who you play with, the type of game and the stakes you want to play for. (Have you tried POKER BET yet? A side game where you bet on the probability of your "imaginary hand" winning. Fun.)
Ladbrokes is now a member of the Microgaming Poker network so players at certain tables are pooled from 40 sites. Ladbrokes focus on Tournaments & regularly offer some great play opportunities & big pots. Some tournaments have pretty steep buy-in though so shop around. Loyalty rewards come in the form of Ladbrokes Ladders (a multi-level Sit & Go, where you earn tokens (instead of cash) that allow you to enter the next level of the competition).
THE FISH FACTOR - COMPETITION AT LADBROKES POKER
This varies considerably! Some ultra soft (mushy) play at the low staked tables. Lots of gnarly tough play though - once you've been around a while use 'Find Player' feature to be selective!
