Planet Poker is the first internet
poker room , opening back in 1998. They are a stand
alone site and don't have any skins or partner sites.
The software and graphics are unique, if a little dated,
but they are currently working on an upgrade for both.
Some of the main positives about them
is that they do have a fair number of tournaments, they
have 6 years of online experience and they are set to
update the software. You should be able to find a tournament
nearly any time you want and they have a large assortment
of games including holdem, omaha, and even razz. As
for the software, they have been beta testing for a
few months and hopefully they will have the new software
ready in the next few months.
The negatives about Planet Poker are
an awkward setup for their tournaments and a lack of
sit and gos. To get into the tournaments you have to
click "Tournaments" at the top of the page,
just below the words "POKER GATEWAY." You'll
then be taken to a web page with the upcoming tournaments
on them. If you click on tournaments in the tabs below
you are only shown the tournaments that are currently
running. One last thing I will mention is that they
do not have sit and gos, which might be a major issue
with some players.
If you look at the site and like what
you see, play a couple of games and see if you like
it. The tournaments are a bit awkward at first, but
they do offer a lot of them as well as decent, if not
huge, number of players on the money tables.
