Overall Review
Players Only Poker opened on the Cake poker network in 2006 then moved to the Merge Network on April 15th 2010. Being on the Merge Network, you'd think that PlayersOnly would accept U.S. players but they stopped doing so on May 1st 2011. There real money player statistics as of June 2011 show 1700 cash game and 6000 tournament players at peak hours.Players Only Poker offers all variations of Texas Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven Card Stud and Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo. The games vary between no limit, pot limit and fixed limit with full table, short handed and heads up tables available. The stakes range from �.02/�.04 to $50/$100 for no limit and all the way up to $100/$200 for limit. The competition is very soft due to the fact that most of their player base has been recruited through the casino and sportsbook making them rookies and relatively easy to beat. On top of the initial deposit bonus and $500 new depositors freeroll mentioned above some of Players Only Pokers other promotions include satellites into major live tournaments, a $250,000 monthly guaranteed tournament and the "freeroll into millions" promotion where players can earn seats into big guaranteed tournaments with a prize pool totaling one million dollars. PlayerOnly Poker also offers the normal frequent player program where points are earnded for playing raked hands or paying tournament buy in fees which can be redeemed for merchandise, tournament buy ins or cash bonuses. The Players Only Poker software runs fast and smooth with great functionallity and playability. Some of the software features include very clean graphics, the ability to multi table up to ten tables at once and the ability to take notes on players to help you remember some of the competition. You won't really find any over the top special features at PlayersOnly but all the functions are useful in helping the player customize the game play to their liking. Overall Players Only Poker is very player friendly and is a great place to find guaranteed tournaments as they run $5 million worth each month. |
