ROOM REVIEW - VICTOR CHANDLER POKER |
 |
Victor
Chandler Poker is a fast growing poker room. Global bookmaker
firm Victor Chandler has made a serious entry into the online
poker industry. They are the major room for the Tribeca Tables
network in Europe (where the rooms share the player base).
The software has been developed externally from Tribeca Tables
and has a nice look and feel. Victor Chandler network has
a focus on community feeling and low to mid level stakes.
There are both single- and multi-table tournaments, which
have the highest traffic on the site. There are lots of free
rolls daily. As Victor Chandler is UK-based, it is not open
for US players. The software has a nice interface and offers
good playability. The tournaments actually have the highest
traffic in this poker room, with lots of good value free rolls.

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. |

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. |

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. |
