The Sun Poker Room review
There is a new edition to the online poker family! Peak Entertainment™, one of the most prestigious and trusted gaming companies in the online industry, is proud to offer Sun Poker™ to the virtual gaming world.Sun Poker uses Cryptologic software, one of the most advanced and esteemed gaming software companies in the industry. Although the look and feel of the software similarly compares to other poker rooms, Sun Poker is quick, flawless and hassle free. Here are a few screen shots of the software:
Rivered can honestly say that this poker room is addicting! I've played poker with my buddies for several years and didn't think playing online would have the same appeal as sitting around a table with trash talking friends. Within an hour of playing Sun Poker I was hooked! For two weeks I was playing every night for a couple of hours, and this was just the "play for fun" mode. Once I was used to the pace of the game, I finally decided to play for real money. After a couple of hands I was up $150 and feeling pretty good about my poker skills. Unlike playing in person, you have to concentrate on the betting habits of the other people at the table instead of relying on the little quirks and nuances of each individual. You'll see what I mean once you start to play.
At Sun Poker you can choose to play Texas Hold 'Em, 7 Card Stud, Omaha High and Omaha High/Low. They also have daily tournaments where you can test your skills against the best from all over the world. Believe me, it's pretty exciting knowing that you're playing in a tournament with a guy half way across the world. That's the great thing about poker - the rules of the game are the same no matter what language you speak!
