Purple Lounge - Details

Game Variety (7)

The games offered at Purple Lounge are Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud, Five-Card Stud and Five-Card Draw. The games vary between No-Limit, Pot-Limit, and Fixed-Limit. Full-table games, short-handed, and heads-up tables are all available.

There are ultra high-limit tables with $150/$300 stakes in Fixed-Limit, $200/$400 in No-Limit Texas Hold'em and micro-limit tables as low as 2¢/5¢. The only peculiar thing about the game variety is the absence of Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo, which seems strange considering they spread the high version.

Ring Game Traffic (7)

Traffic at Purple Lounge is good and still somewhat concentrated to Hold'em games, although more and more players are showing interest in Omaha and Seven-Card Stud. In all, Purple Lounge is a site with good ring-game traffic at peak hours. Purple Lounge has peak cash-game traffic of 2,000 real-money players at peak hours (November 2009).

Soft Competition (6)

Purple Lounge offers loose and juicy games; you just have to know where to find them. The short-handed (six 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%.

Rake (6)

The rake at Purple Lounge is on par with the industry. Purple Lounge uses a fixed schedule for its rake, based on the table limit and number of players.
