Golden Tiger Poker review:
Golden Tiger Poker was launched in October of 2002 and is
still one of the smaller, but more active poker rooms on the 'net. Since launch,
Golden Tiger Poker has delivered over 500,000 hands to their customers,
primarily for Texas Hold'em, but also 5 and 7 Card Stud Poker. The advantages
and disadvantages of a “smaller” poker room are just two sides of the same coin:
Fewer people make it a more friendly atmosphere, since you keep seeing the same
folks whenever you play, but fewer people usually means it's harder to find a
game other than Texas Hold'em during non-peak hours.
The interface and the “play” of Golden Tiger is consistent,
the number of seats at a table varies from 2 for 1 on 1 Hold'em, to 8 seats for
5 and 7 card stud and 10 players to each Texas/Omaha Hold'em, tables. The lobby
allows you to view open tables, by the type of game. Each game list allows you
to view the stakes for the game, the number of people playing and when relevant
and the number of people waiting to play.
You'll be able to choose the betting limits you're
comfortable with. Texas Hold'em stakes range from $.50/$1 to as much as a
$50/$100 table. Once you’re in there, you'll see a table and chairs - but only
names for players, not Avatars (people) like at most poker rooms. Right click a
player’s name for more info on them and the ability to keep notes.
All the games are great if you like that particular version
of poker. Texas Hold'em is typically the most popular variation, with 7 Card
Stud following closely behind. Golden Tiger also has a $250 prize for highest
Texas Hold'em hand every day!
Players can contact the support centre via e-mail, toll free
phone or Live Chat 24/7. The staff are friendly and helpful and can usually
answer any questions you have on the spot but if you do come up with something
they can't answer immediately, they promise to get back to you within 24 hours
of your call.
