CD Poker Review
CD Poker is one of the members of the growing iPoker Network, one of the strongest online poker conglomerates around. They are constantly adding promotions and loyalty incentives to attract and keep both new players and advanced players content and coming back time and time again.
Traffic at CD Poker is very good, with ring games and tournaments always available. The site is very attractive to beginners who want to gain experience playing in these environments. Serious poker players may be turned off by the relaxed, recreational atmosphere of the site, but this seems to be an underlying theme with most of the rooms on the iPoker Network. The site offers graduated prize pools for their tournaments and this is one reason why advanced players might want to try their hand at CD Poker.
While the software used at the site has good graphics and functionality, there is not a wide variety of avatars to choose from. It is nice, however, for a player to be able to have an online ‘face’ instead of having their opponents stare into blank space. The hand history option shows players their hands in a graphical representation that it is easy to comprehend. The layout of the entire poker room is very user friendly, complete with all-in, check and call buttons. The main game at the site is Texas Hold’Em in both limit and no limit options, and selecting the appropriate table for play is very easy.
New players only need $20.00 in order to open an account with CD Poker. Deposits can be made with cashier’s checks, internet wallets, and credit cards. A sign up bonus, matched up to $500.00, is automatically added to the player’s account when the first deposit is made. Players do not need to meet any sort of terms, conditions or rake amount in order to receive the bonus. There is a reload program where players can receive an additional fifty percent on top of their deposit and there are other jackpots and bonuses available, including tournament invitations and loyalty benefits.
CD Poker has very competitive fixed limit games, even though the no limit tables are just as aggressive. Most of the no limit games have loose competition, and play is pretty soft which is typical of iPoker websites. Tight players can make a killing if they don’t mind higher flop percentages.
The website also offers live support to their customers and it is very common for the player to get a live person on the phone or a quick response to their e-mails. Questions with account setup are answered by highly trained staff and new players can be up and running in no time. New players will find CD Poker one of the most welcoming online poker sites on the Internet and those who are looking for a place to just play for the sport of it, will find the tables ready and waiting for them.
