Sun Poker

Sun Poker has a game and limit level to suit all players. Games start with limits as low as .15/.25 and climb as high as 150/300 and can be played in either USD or Euro. With a scale as wide as this, you are sure to find a table that suits your bankroll. The house rake is calculated based on 5% of the pot rounded down to the nearest 25 units. So pot sizes of $5, $10, $15 and $20 will see a rake of 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 $/€/£. Sun Poker has just reduced the rake for shorthanded games, the rake on heads up play will now be capped at 1 $/€/£, if there are 3-4 players the rake will be capped at 2 $/€/£, and when there are five players or more rake will be capped at 3 $/€/£ (except 25/50NL which has a max rake of 5 $/€/£)

Sun Poker can call upon the huge traffic base of Cryptologic poker rooms, many sites use the Cryptologic software, thus Sun Poker is nearly always very busy with lots of players. At peak times players can expect around 5,000 others, or more, online. Off peak this figure drops but is still an impressive 2,000 - 3,000. Players from all stake levels will find the action they are looking for here.

Very smooth, the soft green color makes for easy viewing and playing in both lobby and table areas. More serious players will love the notes and stats features, there is also a Heads-Up area which many Cryptologic rooms have chosen to leave out. There are plenty of tournaments running 24 hrs a day, catering for small buy-ins of just a few dollars to large $500 sit and gos, also often running are special guaranteed prizepool tournaments.

Cryptologic software is always very smooth and easy to use, Heads-Up cash players will enjoy Sun Poker more than many of the other Cryptologic rooms as they have chosen to leave in the Heads-Up tables.

Sun Poker uses the very popular Cryptologic platform for their software. This has proven to be a reliable platform for poker over the years and Sun Poker uses it's features to the full.
