24hPoker Review

Summary (5.20)

Due to US legislation to prevent credit-card companies from collecting payments for bets, 24hPoker has determined to suspend all their real money gaming business with US residents.

24hPoker does not allow american players. It grew 500% from June to December 2004 and it's becoming very popular for its innovative style. Most of the traffic is at the no-limit Holdem and lower stakes fixed limit Holdem. The games have loose and wild action as lots of sports betting customers have joined. What also stands out are the world-leading traffic at the five-card draw poker and really decent Triple Draw games! In pot-limit Omaha High there can be huge high stakes games sometimes. The software is a Java-based download, with sleek graphics, innovative functionality and it runs smoothly. There is a refer a friend bonus that awards €50 to you and €25 to your friend. Real money player statistics - 1,500-2,100 ring game players at peak hours, 5,500-7,500 tournament players at peak hours.

Ring Game Traffic (5)

At peak hours there are currently 1,500-2,100 real money players in the ring games. As over 80% of the players are European, the site is busy at evening time in Europe. Lots of the players are from Scandinavia from local sports books.

Game variety (8)

Very good, including both Hi and Hi-Lo in both Omaha and seven-card stud, as well as Soko (Scandinavian Stud), 5-card draw and Triple Draw Lowball. The draw poker games are the most trafficked in the world with up to 15 to 20 tables going at European peak hours. Most games are of course Texas Holdem, but check out the super high stakes action in Omaha High games (often on Mondays and Tuesdays) - there have been many pots over EUR 20,000!!!

Soft competition (4)

With the great growth of the 24h Poker network, where sports book customers are signing up in droves, the action has turned wild on the Texas Holdem tables. Lots of the players are classical "loose/passive" players, which is ideal for players looking to win money consistently. But watch out for certain games, in particular the high stakes Omaha tables which are not at all "full of fish". The full Texas Holdem tables reaches view flop percentage in the 50-ies and 60-ies quite a lot. The Omaha tables are frequently up at view flop percentage in the 60-ies, but not higher (which makes the Holdem tables relatively more loose at 24h Poker).
