CD Poker - Details

Game Variety (8)

CD Poker has good game variety with Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi-Lo, Omaha Hi, Five-Card Draw and Seven-Card Stud Hi - all available in Limit and Pot-Limit, with Texas Hold'em in No-Limit as well. Table stakes are from 50¢/$1 to $30/$60 in the fixed games, with 5¢-10¢ up to $50/$100 in Pot-Limit and Limit games. No-Limit and Pot-Limit Hold'em is offered in 1¢/2¢ to $25/$50 blinds.

There are heads-up tables, full ring games and sit-and-go and fixed-schedule multi-table tournaments offered. Traffic is especially excellent at the sit-and-go tournaments, thanks to the jackpots offered.

Ring Game Traffic (8)

CD Poker has peak cash-game traffic of 10,000 real-money players at peak hours (November 2008), with almost all of the traffic at No-Limit and Fixed-Limit Texas Hold'em.

Soft Competition (9)

Play at most tables at CD Poker is relatively soft. Most volume is at the No-Limit Texas Hold'em games, where the viewed-flop percentage is normally in the 40s or 50s. However, players will sometimes be able to find a full table with pre-flop percentages all the way in the 60s. The players are also quite passive, so it is easy for skilled players to be winning players.

Rake (7)

The rake at CD Poker is on par with the industry standard, even though there are several situations when the rake drops considerably. The general policy is the standard 5% rake taken in increments up to $3, but on several types of tables there are lower maximum rakes.

On Fixed-Limit tables up to $1/$2 there is a $1 maximum rake. More importantly, all tables with 2-3 players have a maximum rake of $1 and tables with 4-5 players have a $2 maximum rake - this also includes No-Limit and Pot-Limit shorthanded games. CD Poker uses a "no flop, no drop" policy for hands not reaching the flop, and the micro-limit tables available are also rake-free.

Support (8)

CD Poker offers great options, with 24/7 telephone support as well as live online-chat and e-mail support. The support is very fast and offers good answer quality.
