POKER ROOM REVIEW - TITAN POKER
Click here to play!

Titan Poker is one of the newer reputable poker rooms. Peak player volumes is around 800 at the moment but growing fast. With the largest sign on bonus of any reputable poker room at 100% match bonus on initial deposit up to $500 (but very difficult to turn bonus into money so read the match bonus terms very carefully to avoid disappointment), we can understand why. Operated by one of the most successful online casinos (one of which is Casino Tropez which was voted second most popular online gaming institution in a poll conducted by the BBC, second only to the UK National Lottery, Titan Poker is clearly aiming to grow quickly. Rather than spending millions of advertising, Titan Poker is clearly trying to attract players by offering great value and incentives. Titan Poker is at the moment geared towards the smaller stake players with micro limits, low high stake limits and plenty of low buyin tourneys.

The most attractive feature of Titan Poker apart from its high sign up bonus is the extremely soft action and loose players. Thought the Cryptologic network (Betfair, William Hill and Inter Poker) had the softest games, but the quality of play at this site is at the point of being ridiculous. Pot odds? What is that? Is that smoking pot and the risk of getting caught? Hmmm. Do we need to say more?

TITAN POKER - POKER VARIANTS
Titan Poker supports the following forms of poker:
  • Texas Hold Em
  • Omaha
  • Omaha Hi/Lo

There is little action, if any, at any of the poker variants other than Texas Hold Em.

TITAN POKER - INTERFACE
The Titan Poker interface is uncomplicated as Titan Poker only supports Texas Holdem, Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo. Simple to switch and navigate in the lobby. The names and stacks of each player shows up when you click a table. Very fast software and proven very reliable as well. If you get bored with poker, it is easy to switch to some of their casino games from the lobby.
You can create your own private tables. However, this cannot be done from either the lobby or their website. You have to contact their support and they will set it up for you. The online support works well although
TITAN POKER - PLAYER TABLES

Very basic table design and rudimentary graphics. However, hand history and statistics are available at the click of a button. Plenty of player options where you can change your player avatar, sound and game settings. Games can be a bit slow as players are given quite a long time to make a decision. Very clear to see the cards in play. What we like a lot is that the chat is shown in the chat area as well as in a box below the name plate of the person chatting.

TITAN POKER - RING GAMES

Reasonable player volumes at around 900 at peak times with the majority playing Texas Hold Em, which is quite decent considering that Titan Poker is a relative newcomer into the world of online poker. It is growing rapidly which is due partly to its generous sign up bonus of 100% match up to $500 which is by far the highest of any poker room that we have come across. Note that the conditions to turn the bonus into hard Cash are very severe and tough to meet. However, if you do decide to try Titan Poker, you will find very loose games, and we mean loose. Presumably they have stumbled across to the poker room from the casinos, and it shows in the quality of play. Rarely have we seen so many bad players. People just can't fold an ace it seems even if they haven't paired up anything and call till river. And even at river they call with ace hi!!!

With player volumes so low, the Guaranteed events are very, very good value. Often the players have a very large positive expected outcome as they rarely meet the numbers whereby the players contribute the entire prize purse; Titan at the moment subsidise many of the guaranteed events.

TITAN POKER - MEMBER COMMENTS
MEMBER DATE POSTED COMMENTS
Eurobonus 3 Dec. 2005 Few players so found it sometimes hard to find a table at the limits I play. However, the loosest games of poker anywhere on the Net that I have experienced. Hopefully it will continue. By the way, I found the conditions to qualify for the initial deposit bonus very onerous indeed. Much better value to be had by others such as Absolute Poker.
