Sportsbook Poker's software runs fast and smooth. You can also see your own playing stats right at the table - like how often you see the flop, your win percentage, etc - making it a great learning site for beginners.

Overall the graphics are nice and clean and make for fast play, often dealing 60-70 hands per hour in full ring games. The avatars are nice looking and life-like. The tables are oval and the felt is blue, with a swanky casino setting with marble floors and heavy red drapes covering the walls.

Multi-table play is easy and smooth and works well with the stats tools available. One nice function is the hand history also saves the player chat, which is useful when trying to "figure out" a player

On the negative side, the note-taking function is a little hard to use and the software offers no mini-view or other multi-table help functionality. Occasionally the software will also freeze, but simply closing the program and opening it back up again seems to solve it.

All sounds and a lot of the graphics can be turned on and off and the amount of chat text a player wants to see can be chosen. Best special featrues are the in-game statistics and the access to hand histories without leaving the table.
