Software & Graphics: The graphics have a nice feel about them - the games are quick and I didn't see any disconnections. The Bubblechat is definitely a hit and encourages chatting which is good for some people and not for others. A lovely feature is being able to put a tag on players like: Shark, Fish, Buddy, Easy, Champion, Bluffer & 'on tilt' plus full player notes.
Traffic: Poker.com have taken a risk in not networking with other poker sites, but this could pay off in the long run as they are definitely different to the majority of poker sites as they have very individual graphics and traffic will no doubt rise as players join. But for the moment, the traffic is very low with hundreds of players, rather than thousands of players.
Game Variety: Only Texas Hold'em and Omaha although they have announced that BlackJack will be added soon. No Limit ranges from $0.10/$0.25 tables up to $25/$50 and Fixed Limit ranges from $0.10/$0.25 up to $30/$60.
Rake: The Fixed Limit Rake ranges from 5% of pot up to a maximum of $1 on the lowest tables up to $1 per pot over $40 to a maximum of $3 on the highest tables. The No Limit & Pot Limit rake is 5% of the pot from a minimum of $0.10 to a maximum of $3 on all tables.
