CAKE POKER REVIEW
 General – Cake Poker was introduced to the Poker industry in 2005. Since their introduction into the poker world, Cake Poker has turned into one of the better known online Poker rooms, especially for US players. Their player base has been continually growing and players are staying loyal to Cake. During peak hours Cake Poker is home to over 5000 real money players, a number which is still growing. Cake Poker is one of the best Poker rooms for promotions. Whether it is collecting gold cards for big payouts, a chance to play in a Poker tournament at the Playboy mansion or giving away seats to the WSOP, Cake Poker is always creative.
Bonus – The Cake Poker is a 100% bonus up to $500. When players use the Cake Poker bonus code EZBONUS they will receive a 100% match of their first real money deposit, up to the maximum $500 for free. The Cake Poker bonus has a few clearing rules before players will receive their bonus money. The bonus will be awarded to players in increments of $10 each time they earn a certain number of Frequent Player Points (FPPs). FPPs are awarded through real money play at cash tables or tournaments and each FPP is worth $.06 of your bonus. Each dollar in tournament fee’s you pay is worth 7 FPPs and every dollar raked in cash games is worth 1 FPP. The bonus money is released $10 at a time automatically into your players account until the full bonus is paid out.
Competition – The competition at Cake Poker is weaker than average. The players, especially at the lower levels, play incredibly loose. The competition gets significantly better at the higher limits, but even so there is a lot of loose play. Although playing against fish may be frustrating, in the long run it is defiantly worth it. Overall, Cake Poker is a good poker room to turn a profit at.
Ring Games – Cake Poker offers a variety of ring games, with the most popular at no surprise being Texas Hold em. Cake also offers popular games such as Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Stud and Stud Hi-Lo. There are limits available for every player, as blinds start as low as $.02/$.04 and go as high as $100/$200. After claiming their sign up bonus code players can choose to sit at full tables, shorthanded tables or one on one ring games.
Tournaments – In addition to the bonus code, Cake Poker offers a variety of great tournaments that are run at all hours of the day. They offer all different kinds of tournaments such as Sit and Go’s, Freeze-out, Shoot-outs Re-buys and more. Cake Poker offers these tournaments in all different buy-in ranges so that every player has a tournament to play in. Cake also offers some awesome promotional tournaments such as the gold chip tournaments, WSOP qualifiers and new depositor freerolls.
Software – Cake Poker uses software that is used by the entire Cake Poker network. The software has a very nice look to it with great graphics. Although the Cake software has all of the important aspects of online poker software, I feel it is missing some over-the-top features that would make it top software. With that said, Cake seems to be working on improving their software as they recently introduced resizable windows. Look for Cake Poker to continue improving their software to meet the needs of the players.
