Thanks for coming to my new site! Every couple of weeks I will write an article about something related to online poker. In this post I will write about Tiger Gaming, one of the sites on Action Poker. Please note that this site does not accept wagers from Americans.
The designers at Tiger Gaming did well to create a site that’s easy to navigate and nice to look at. Similar to the PokerStars bonus code, there is a large deposit bonus and it is not too hard to earn. You should find the customer support helpful during times of need. What makes Tiger Gaming unique from other sites is that it hosts some special games that you won’t find on any other site. Included in these games are Guts, Big 2, Chinese Poker, and Pan. You won’t find Internet slots here, but the other games are so fun that you won’t want to waste your time with casino games anymore.
You will, of course, also find poker at this site. Tiger Gaming has Limit and No Limit Holdem, Omaha and, when the tables fill, 7 Card Stud.
Tiger Gaming has opted to focus their advertising in Canada, encouraging consumers to try online poker in commercials on various TV networks. Presumably they considered Canada a good place to recruit players to money poker sites. The aggressive campaign is still going on and has resulted in a poker site full of Canadians, many of whom really can't play poker well at all.
Sometimes you’ll find there aren’t that many games running, especially at 50NL+ and 1/2+. But if you are a low stakes player just getting started on download free poker sites, finding a table at $2 NL up to $25 NL is usually very easy. It is common for there to be between three and six NL25 tables open and between four and eight NL5 tables. The same can’t be said for finding 50NL tables. You will usually only find one table, maybe two if it’s your lucky day. Those looking for 100NL will be even more disappointed. It is a rare day when there is a 100NL table available. The site does offer stakes up to $1000NL but I have never seen the game actually happen, so if you want stakes that high, you should download Full Tilt Poker.
I will just go ahead and tell you that the traffic for the other games is pretty awful. 7 Card Stud is available for those interested, but its tables remain empty day after day. Omaha is almost as bad. At most you will find one or two tables filled, usually of the 0.1/0.2 pot-limit variety. If your game of choice is not Texas Holdem, it might be better to download PokerStars instead. As for the exotic games, you’ll almost for sure find them running during peak hours. As Tiger is the only place you can play them, the player base is more reliable. My favorite game, Guts, typically runs two or three tables at once, and the minimum bet is usually from 10 to 50 cents.
To sum it up, the player base on Tiger Gaming is okay if you are a lower stakes player, but it’s also nothing to write home about. If you’re new to poker, I would recommend that you start your bankroll at Tiger and then you can go for a Bwin Poker download once you’re ready to move up in stakes.
Be sure to come back in a couple weeks! I will have a detailed post regarding the interface at Tiger Gaming.
