Attached to a sportsbook and casino, Sportsbook Poker offers plenty of loose and juicy games full of fishy players.
Sportsbook.com was established in 1997 in Costa Rica and ran only a sportsbook and casino until recently. It now operates a poker room as well, which was launched in 2006 and this is part of the Cake Poker network. In 2005 and 2006 Sportsbook.com was awarded "Best US Sportsbook" by eGaming Review. Sportsbook Poker is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.
Sportsbook Poker makes use of Party Poker software. The software is functional and user-friendly, although the graphics are quite ordinary. Players can choose to play in a simple mode or a classic mode. In the classic mode players can choose their own avatar and can even upload a photo to use to represent themselves. Players are able to view hand histories and table statistics, including flop percentage and average pot size. Players can also save their hands in an updating text file so that they can analyze them using external software. Players are able to take notes and grade their opponents by colors. You can play at multiple tables.
Players can choose from Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha hi-lo, seven card stud and seven card stud hi-lo. The stakes range from $0.04/$0.08 to $100/$200 in fixed limit games and from $0.02/$0.04 up to $50/$100 in no limit games. As Sportsbook Poker is attached to a sportsbook and casino, many of the players who visit the poker site do not know how to play poker. This results in very loose play with plenty of fish. Most of the traffic can be found at the low to medium no limit hold'em tables, although Omaha games are growing in popularity as well. During peak hours it is possible to find action at almost any table.
Sportsbook Poker hosts a number of tournaments in all of the poker games that they offer – Texas hold'em, Omaha, Omaha hi-lo, seven card stud and seven card stud hi-lo, although multi table tournaments are only available in Texas hold'em. They offer multi table tournaments, sit and go tournaments as well as heads up tournaments. These are available in freeze-out, shoot-out and re-buy formats. They also offer multiple freeroll tournaments and satellite tournaments for major poker events. Among their tournaments, you will find guaranteed prize pool tournaments, bounty tournaments, lightning tournaments, kamikaze tournaments and more. Sportsbook Poker offers over $5 million in guaranteed prize money every month.
