Captain Cooks Poker review:
Captain Cooks Poker is another operator of the Prima Poker
Network and has been since March 2003. The benefit of playing on the network is
the continual strong flow of players, a result of many poker sites all feeding
through to one big room. Because of the size of Prima, they also spread a good
variety of games from very low limit (easy pickings!) to high stakes pot limit
and no limit (great if you’ve got the bankroll or good to just watch)
Call me old fashioned, but there is much that you can do to
convince me that I'm anywhere but sat in front of my computer looking at cards
on screen. (I’ve tried True poker, but it’s just too slow.) The graphics are
clear here and your hole cards are easy to see. When the flop comes, the cards
are always visible, and they even have an indicator that shows who has acted and
what they did.. I did have a few issues with the software when they first
introduced the Multi Table Tournament, as it always seemed to freeze and was
really slow, but I think after constant calls from thousands of players, they
have ironed out these glitches.
The reason that I chose this site was due to the fact that
there are so quite a few different sites that operate for the prima network, but
Captain Cooks Poker is one of the few that has the backing of a large casino
group. When putting down my hard earned dollars, I feel that security of
information and credit details are a huge part of where I play, and knowing that
Captain Cooks Poker comes under the highly professional banner of CasinoRewards
and is therefore heavily monitored, I am safe in the knowledge that all is
secure, and when it comes to cash out it comes safely and without hassle.
Customer support is important to me as things in the online
world inevitably go wrong. The Poker room shares the same support as the casinos
attached to it, so there is always someone on the phone 24/7, and even though
for big technical issues, the support has to contact the Prima network (why the
player can’t contact Prima Poker direct, I don’t know) you usually have any
questions resolved within a 24hour time frame. Most quick questions I had about
my account or cashout, were answered right there on the spot.
This site has 5 Card Stud !! Not many online poker rooms
cover this game anymore, but as an old school player, it’s great to find a site
that not only has it, but also has a whole bunch of players ready and willing to
play. Captain Cooks Poker has all the big games such as Holdem, Omaha and as
mentioned above 5 Card and 7 Card Stud. It also has a whole spread of games with
heads up action, so if you can find a willing partner, you can sit at a private
table and go back and forth.
I’m a middle limit player so Captain Cooks Poker is right up
my alley, but they do have all limits, from very low 25c/50c all the way up to
pot limit 50/100. A lot of people I come across say that they like the micro
limit (2c/4c) games offered at other poker sites, but I find that no one is
willing to lay down a hand at that level, so I'd rather stick to playing for fun
than playing for such small limits.
Players have the option of contacting the Poker support
center via Email, Live Chat or Phone at anytime and the support staff are always
more than happy to help out. The support staff is highly skilled and trained in
all aspects of the Poker software and can provide immediate assistance when you
need it.
