Try Everest

The site I talk about in this entry is the same as Tiger Gaming in that it is mostly for Europeans and Canadians. Everest Poker is filled with mostly people learning to play poker for the first time, which is perfect for building the bankroll. If you want to play NL Holdem, the stakes start at $0.10 - $0.10, and you can progress up to the highest stake of $50 - $50. Most people won’t need to play any lower or higher than the stakes available here, and people needing something lower or higher will need to look at other online poker rooms. By the way, that was not a typo up there. For some reason all NLHE stakes are listed as the same number twice, but this is in fact the number of the big blind. The small blind is then half either of the numbers (since they’re both the same). I thought you should know that before you make the download and spend half your night being confused.

You’ll be pleased to know that the Limit stakes are stated quite normally. They offer $0.02 - $0.04 and the highest stakes are $50 - $100. Once again, this won't suit the players with the biggest bankrolls. Sit-n-Go’s, on the other hand, can be entered at stakes as low as $0.04 + $0.01 and progress up to a fairly large $500 + $30. I have already stated that, similar to Tiger Gaming, Everest Poker is not on the US friendly poker sites list. In addition to the U.S., players from Russia and China are also not allowed on Everest.

The Everest Poker download has expanded considerably since coming into the poker world, working extremely hard to establish themselves as the preferred way to download free poker. Unlike a lot of new poker sites, they chose to create their very own Everest Network rather than become a skin of another site. The Everest Network is currently the 6th most popular poker network online. Everest is actually a great place to begin with money poker sites.

As with all sites, there are still a few downsides. For example, Everest offers just Holdem or Omaha which is disappointing because most online rooms these days feature at least some Stud varieties. Also, unless you have a newer computer, you may find yourself getting irritated as the software eats up more memory than a Full Tilt download. When it’s all said and done, however, there is a good chance you'll see that the pros outweigh the cons on Everest Poker.
