CD Poker

CD Poker is one of the leading poker rooms on the iPoker network initiative developed by PlayTech. The network took a hit with the U.S. poker player ban but is recuperating fast and has a high influx of players. Games are somewhat loose with lots of casino players and new recruits. There are often some very high-value promotions through both PokerListings and other channels, which continuously draw players to the site. For Sit-and-Go players, CD Poker is a virtual Mecca, hosting one of the widest arrays of tournaments in the poker world, including the Limitless Jackpot promotion.

The software has an innovative and good-looking interface with colorful and attractive graphics. The functionality and playability is good, and the early minor glitches in the software have since been fixed. Games offered include Hold'em, Omaha and Seven-Card Stud Hi, Omaha Hi and Hi-Lo and ring games, as well as heads-up, sit-and-go and multi-table tournaments.

CD Poker also offer plenty of tournaments and freerolls with great value. The traffic volume overall is among the higher in the industry. Real-money player statistics as of August 2007 show 6,300 ring-game players at peak hours, and 25,000 tournament players at peak hours.

Overall CD Poker offers relatively loose games and decent software that plays well, even though the game pace is on the slow side. The software is updated frequently to ensure safety and stability, with little downtime as a result.
