Cake Poker

Cake Poker is a fairly new online poker website that is available to US players. The site went live in 2006. Cake was established by a group of “passionate poker players,” with the goal of providing a superior playing experience and in many ways they have succeeded. Cake Poker offers great bonuses, excellent software and they host well structured tournaments. Cake Poker players will find a variety of game types, including real money cash games, sit n’ gos, multi-table tournaments and satellites. They also offer varied poker formats including Holdem, Omaha, and Stud, although there is occasionally some action at the non-holdem tables, there is rarely more than a table or two going. Holdem players will have no trouble finding plenty of action at their chosen limit however. Cake Poker offers a 110% first time deposit bonus up to $600 and 33% rakeback for players who signup through PokerDiscounts.com. New players will also receive a free entry into the site’s New Depositor $500 Freeroll.

Cake Poker is a small to medium poker site. Due to their excellent bonuses and competitive rakeback offer, the Cake Poker Network is one of the fastest growing networks in the poker industry. There are typically about 2000 members sitting at the real money poker tables during peak hours. Players who prefer a high traffic poker site or like to play in large tournaments may prefer a site like Full Tilt Poker, however if you enjoy getting to know your competitors as you play poker with them or if you prefer smaller tournaments, then Cake Poker is probably the best US friendly option in the industry.

The competition at Cake Poker is typically quite soft. As with many fast growing sites, there are many players at the tables who are just learning the game for the first time. Knowledgeable players who employ a tight aggressive strategy should do well at Cake Poker.

Cake Poker has excellent, stable software with all of the features that online poker players have come to expect, these features include:

Take notes on your opposition
Resizeable tables
Multitabling
Bet Pot and 1/2 Pot buttons
"Simple Graphics" feature which removes player avatars
Graphical hand history interface

Cake Poker’s software is one of its strong points. The site itself is well designed, featuring professional looking graphics. The software is pretty easy to navigate. Players have the option to resize their tables, and they can also play on several tables at once. Multi tablers should have no issues playing as many as 10 or 12 tables at once, however there are occassionally some small lag problems when playing more than 12 tables simulataneously. Cake Poker offers multiple customer service options including email, live chat support, and toll-free telephone support. Their service representatives are friendly and very helpful.
