SOFTWARE
The software was developed by Microgaming and it is very well presented with great features. The lobby is one of the best, it has a tree menu on the left where you can choose any limit and game type what you want with one click of your mouse. You have all the tables info needed and it has a player search function. You can choice between a traditional lobby or a new advanced lobby with all the filters needed to find all the tables and game types what you want.
Another great feature is the buddy system that will alert you that any special player that you have marked (i.e.bad player) has entered the room and you can see where he plays.
The table is very professional looking with two-tone purple in a radiant sun motif and everything is very clear, the buttons and position of players are very well spaced, you can use large table, standard table and mini table views allowing 5 tables as maximum (9 if it's standard size). They also offer a nice player note so you can keep tabs on your opponents during play.
You can use an avatar into your player position and the dealer speed is quite good. Real time game history is available on your own play and it has a nice feature to tag players into 'sharks' or 'fish'.
The skill level at this poker room is not so high, the typical player is below the average, the mid-stakes are easy to beat and there is lot of action at almost every hour of the day. The mid-stakes short handed of $1/$2 and $2/$4 Fixed Limit tables are full of poor players and you can take advantage of that.
