Purple Lounge Poker offers an attractive poker room designed with the sophisticated player in mind. Keeping with their sophisticated nature, Purple Lounge will give away a new Bentley to one of the first 10,000 players to join the site. Purple Lounge players may also gain membership to the high-end Quintesentially club, whose goal is to satisfy any last-minute requests for people seeking a slice of the high life. Purple Lounge is part of the well established Prima network, powered by Microgaming. Having introduced themselves in Aug, 2005, Purple Lounge is already established as a top ranked prima site. The software provides very useful stats as well as 3 different table sizes. The large number of short-handed tables and turbo tables create loose and juicy games as well as quick playability often with greater than 120 hands played per hour. Although the navigation tools of the Lobby software need improvement, the rest of the software has proven to be very functional, fast and reliable. Ring game and tournament traffic ranges between 2,500-3,500 real money players during peaks hours, for a total of 12,000-16,000 players.
Ring Game Traffic (6)
Ring game traffic on average ranges between 2,500-3,500 real money players spread out between tables of limits as high as $100-$200 and as low as $0.02-$0.05. The traffic is quite well spread out over all types of games (compared to many other rooms where traffic is concentrated to Hold'emonly).
Game variety (7)
The game variety is first-class with all standard games offered in No-limit, Pot-limit, and Fixed-limit. The games offered include Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha H/L, 7-card stud, and 5-card stud. The site also offers turbo tables for the quick acting players. Lots of short-handed and heads-up tables are also available and when played in conjunction with the turbo tables create the loosest games around.
Soft competition (5)
Purple Lounge offers loose and juicy games; you just have to know where to find them. The short-handed (6 players max) tables and turbo games produce wild games with viewed flopped percentages upwards of 55%. The average viewed flop percentage for full 10 player tables is just under 40%.
