VICTOR CHANDLER POKER - INTERFACE

Victor Chandler Poker software is developed by Tribeca Tables. Very professional looking interface. It is not only a definite design job but extremely easy to use with nice graphics and good functionality. Very fast with nice sound functions. Good server reliability and decent player volumes. On the positive side, there are features like; buddy list function, private tables, live floor managers, pot- and no-limit ring games, live floor managers, overall nice graphics and multi-table tournaments. However, there are some let downs; lobby information does not include view flop percentage and almost only games in Texas Holdem. The game information is a bit messy and confusing but like with anything, it takes time to get used to. Also, its growth is slightly hampered by US players at the moment being barred from joining.

VICTOR CHANDLER POKER - PLAYER TABLES

The graphics and software has greatly been improved upon lately. Not only can you add your player image to represent you at the table but the quality is first class. The player table graphics are amongst the nicest that we have seen. Although you can't download your own player image, there are a number of different player avatars to choose from. Excellent stats function, buddy list alert and player notes. There are limited player options and no time clock. However, the response times are quick and high quality graphics makes play extremely easy on the eye. A unique function we have not seen so far at another poker room is the optional game chat interface. You have the option to have it open, closed or not at all. Multi table play is allowed.

As it is by Tribeca, it shares the same network as Doyle's Room. You have a large chat and log window which you can move freely or cancel altogether. Very professional looking interface. It is not only a definite design job but extremely easy to use with nice graphics and good functionality. There is a 1x, 2x, 4, 8x, 16x or max (all in) Big Blind raise facility. Only really annoying thing is that in PL and NL games, there is no bar to determine raise (you have to type it in). Very fast with nice sound functions. Good server reliability and decent player volumes. There are features like buddy list function, private tables, and live floor managers.

VICTOR CHANDLER POKER - RING GAMES

Victor Chandler Poker is growing steadily as it is part of the Tribeca network. There are now often well over 1,500 ring game players online at peak hours. Fairly limited limits and most action is naturally at Texas Hold Em.

VICTOR CHANDLER POKER - TOURNAMENTS

Victor Chandler Poker has an extensive tournament list with around 100 scheduled tournaments daily. There is quite a lot of action at the single table (sit and go) tournaments as well with buyin from as little as 10 cents to $500! It is thus understandable why the traffic at the tournaments is often better than at ring games with several thousand at peak hours. Victor Chandler has more player freerolls than any other online poker room. However, most of them require player points as entry fee. There are very low buyin satellites (less than a $1) to the larger multi-tournaments.

I don't know why but I like the interface and graphics of Victor Chandler. Without being over-elaborate, it has a classy and sleek feel. Luckily the poker action is far from that. Some of the loosest and crazy action. Just got to find the poker players who are more at home in a casino or bookmaker. Once you have found them, it is just to take your time and their money will soon be yours.
