Ring Game Traffic (8)

Traffic at Hollywood Poker is very good, if somewhat concentrated on Hold'em games, even though more and more players are showing interest in Omaha and Seven-Card Stud.

Hollywood Poker has peak cash game traffic of 9,000 real-money players during peak hours (November 2009).

Soft Competition (7)

There are lots of soft games at Hollywood Poker, but they're mainly in the low-limit cash games and smaller buy-in tournaments.

The Ongame network is a favorite of lots of solid European players, so you can't look at the mid- to high-stakes games for soft competition.

Still, if you look around the lobby you'll find some $5/$10 No-Limit Hold'em tables with a viewed-flop percentage of 35-40%.

Overall, many Hold'em games have a viewed-flop percentage in the 40s and 50s.

Rake (7)

The rake at Hollywood Poker is on par with the industry for standard games.

At the big-bet tables, the rake is relatively low in comparison to the smaller stakes where a larger part of the total pot is raked.

A rake of 5% is taken on every pot, but is capped at $3 in full-ring games that include six players or more.

There is also the standard "no flop, no drop" policy for hands not reaching the flop.

Support (7)

Hollywood Poker offers e-mail support that is very fast and provides good quality answers. The support staff is knowledgeable and friendly.
