CelebPoker

CelebPoker is part of the International Poker network and supports all of the popular varieties of poker, from micro limits to high stakes.

Low, medium and high buy-in tournaments run 24/7, along with daily and weekly satellites to CelebPoker's big Sunday tournaments, the €100k, €250k and the occasional €1M Guaranteed.

Satellites for major live events, like the Irish Poker Open and other ranked European events, are also frequent.

The CelebPoker software offers the standard functions, including PokerTracker support, mini-view, player notes and the option to play an unlimited number of tables at once.

Traffic on the site is good, if in the lower range of the industry, with a decent selection of tables usually available at most stakes. Real-money player statistics as of March 2010 show 3300 ring-game players at peak hours and 13000 tournament players at peak hours.

Overall, CelebPoker offers a good selection of games, with plenty of loose players and decent software that plays well. The software is also updated frequently to ensure stability, and disconnects or downtimes are minimal.

For a smaller network, CelebPoker offers a surprisingly good volume of live sponsorship opportunities to major events and invitations to private live VIP tournaments.

Soft Competition (5)

The competition at CelebPoker ranges from very loose at the micro and low limits to relatively loose at higher stakes. In general, the competition is very loose and passive, making the site a great place to play for skilled poker players. The flop percentage sits between 40-60%. For players wanting the loosest action, the Micro-Limit Hold'em tables and the Omaha tables are especially profitable.
