payments directly so there is no need to open up a third-party
e-wallet account. Credit cards that have been declined at other

Overall:
5/5
The pieces are certainly in place to
make
Superbook Poker
a powerhouse in the new US online poker landscape. Starting with
logistics, players shouldn't have any trouble funding their accounts
thanks to the near-100% acceptance rate for US credit cards.
American players have been caught in the middle of a cat-and-mouse
game with payment processors and poker rooms.
Superbook Poker
has been a breath of fresh air in its ability to accept virtually
all US credit or debit cards.
I've been impressed with the ring game
traffic at
Superbook Poker,
which offers busy tables up to the $10/20 level and some of the
worst players you'll find online. Flop percentages are extremely
high in comparison with larger sites and the amount of money you'll
see wagered on marginal hands, bad draws, and transparent bluffs is
staggering. The massive bonus offered to our players is another big
positive at 200%, another 10% as instant cash, and a $25 free sports
bet.
Overall, the
experience this smaller site offers has been very positive, especially in terms of ease of
use with their banking. If you're willing to break from the norm of
the poker room conglomerates,
Superbook Poker
should appeal to players fed up with difficult deposits and tight
tables.
Bonus (200%
plus 10% instantly and $25 free bet) and Promotions:
5/5
In order to attract new players
Superbook Poker
is offering an extremely aggressive bonus to our visitors. In
addition to a 200% play-through bonus, our players receive an extra
10% as instant cash on their first deposit. The maximum bonus cap is
$500. Finally, our players receive a free $25 bet in the sportsbook
regardless of their deposit amount. While you may or may not be a
big sports bettor, it's completely free so take advantage of it.
Please note that our 210% offer is over twice the standard bonus and players
must sign up through our links to
Superbook Poker
to be eligible. Players must also use Superbook bonus code SUPERBONUS at the
poker cashier for the 210% bonus. When opening a new account,
players will also need to use promo code 25BET for the free $25
sports bet.
I appreciate the
Superbook Poker
bonus more for its structure that its size. Besides a bit of instant
cash, the 200% play-through bonus is substantial and can be earned
much easier than comparable offers from larger sites. Finally, the
$25 free sports bet is a nice touch on an already-strong bonus
structure. It's a fun distraction and a free way to ease yourself
into the betting genre. If you lose you certainly don't have to
touch the sportsbook again but, if nothing else, the free bet makes
a casual weekend watch that much more interesting.
Other worthwhile promotions at
Superbook Poker
include the Gold Chip and Gold Card system. You earn both as you
play ring games and tournaments. Gold Chips can be redeemed for
special freerolls or other prizes. Gold Cards can be collected for
cash prizes. Overall, the promotions seem generous, plentiful, and
earnable, which is one major benefit of playing at a smaller site.
Fish: 
5/5
Perhaps the biggest reason
Superbook Poker
is quietly growing is the extremely poor quality of play. With the
current online poker populous shifting towards experienced players
who can get around deposit difficulties, this site is an exception.
I would go so far as to say
Superbook Poker
and its network now offer the loosest tables online.
With ring games
gravitating towards no limit hold'em, you'll find flop percentages
for 9-handed games at
Superbook Poker
often exceeding 30-40% and average pots settling
in at 20+ big blinds. These numbers are at least 10-20% more than
the larger sites which translates to more inexperienced players
overplaying marginal hands, seeing too many flops, and risking too
much on thin draws. A major plus is the fact that the wild play
doesn't stop at all at the higher limits.
All of this poor play spells profit for more experienced
players who should mostly play by the book, tighten up, and waste
little time putting in substantial raises with premium hands. Simply
put, the tables at
Superbook Poker
are some of the loosest that you're going to find online. It
certainly earns its top Fish Rating.
Tournaments:
4/5
While the main draw of
Superbook Poker
is the loose cash games, the overall tournament action is better
than I would expect from a newer site. During peak hours, you'll
find about 4-5 tournaments per hour with at least 1 or 2 of them
being guaranteed events ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. The buy-ins
are reasonable at $5-30 and you'll typically encounter 300-500
players per tourney.
The big Sunday tournament at
Superbook Poker
features a $75,000 guarantee with a $100 buy-in. You can find larger
events at the larger sites, but you'll face less players here with a
substantially less skill set than the more-trafficked sites.
Superbook Poker
probably won't be the only site that tournament players will visit,
but it does offer plenty of guaranteed events with poorer players,
on average.
Software:
4/5
The
Sportsbook Poker software isn't going to earn any awards for
style and innovation. However, what it lacks in originality it makes
up for in function. In my book, a perfectly fine poker software
package is one that you won't notice or curse very often. While
players often criticize bland software, I believe that unless you're
specifically looking for a slick visual package, functionality is
truly the most important factor.
Superbook Poker
offers a choice of several avatars at the table with a typical
bird's-eye view of the action. Games tend to move along swiftly at
60+ hands per hour at 10-handed tables. The lobbies can be filtered
well and the software offers an extensive hand history feature. You
won't find many advanced software features but you shouldn't find
much lacking, either. Overall, the software works matches the simple
but effective nature of the site as a whole.
US Payouts:
4/5
While
Superbook Poker
doesn't offer a wealth of withdrawal options, players won't need to
open up a separate e-wallet to get their money in a timely fashion.
The site allows a free Fedex check withdrawal monthly, which should
allow you to receive checks within 2 or 3 days of them being issued.
The total wait is usually about 2 weeks, which is reasonable and an
improvement over the 4-6 week timeframe some of the larger rooms
offer for checks.
Customer Service:
5/5
The three most important customer
service options a site can offer are e-mail, telephone, and live
chat support.
Superbook Poker
covers them and, thus, I'm giving them a top score. I would suggest
the live chat option first as the operators seem friendly and pretty
knowledgeable of small details. Also, I always appreciate when poker
rooms have enough confidence to publish their telephone number.
Player Traffic
The network that
Superbook Poker
chose is already established and has been building players for a
couple of years now. As a result, you shouldn't have trouble finding
several active games going at all hours. Peak times usually bring
about 10+ full no limit games at each level with a couple of tables
of $5/10 or above. You can double that number for 6-handed games.
Tournaments usually attract 500+ for guaranteed events.
Best Features
Extremely loose tables. The ring games contain some of the worst
players online.
Credit card processing. All US credit cards should be accepted by
the cashier.
Large exclusive bonus. In order to build a new player base the site
is offering a vastly increased bonus for our players.
Established network. The player traffic is impressive for a newer
site with 10-20 active ring games at most hours and most limits.
Game Selection: Hold'em,
Omaha, 7 card stud
Limits: Limit: 4c/8c up
to $100/$200 No-Limit: 2c/4c up to $50/$100
Deposit Methods:
Visa, Mastercard, or Cash
Transfer. I would recommend any US players to try their credit card
using the built-in cashier first. No US credit cards should be
blocked at
Superbook Poker
even if they have been at other poker sites. If you do have any
problems try calling in to have your card charged. Cash transfers
can be also done at thousands of physical locations. Ask the poker
room directly for transfer details.
Minimum Deposit:
$20
Tips: Discussing
the poor quality of
Superbook Poker
players above, I mentioned that you should be able to profit simply
by playing "by the book". What this means is that you can play very
straightforward poker: raise your super-premium hands, fold marginal
ones without hesitation, slowplay sparingly, and punish draws.
While
a straightforward by-the-book strategy seems simple enough most players deviate from this basic
forumla by mixing in fancy plays and changing gears to disguise
their holdings. While that is certainly advisable in many poker
situations, I believe that it can actually work against you at a
table full of loose, aggressive, and mostly inexperienced players.
Don't hesitate to show extreme strength with big pocket pairs.
Superbook Poker
players like to gamble so raise liberally and often to maximize
pots. Fold your marginal hands without mercy, especially out of
position. The last thing you want is to face a lot of maniacal
pressure with a medium-strength hand. With such a simple strategy,
the main fear would be that players would catch on and play you
accordingly. Fortunately, with the high online table turnover,
multi-tabling, and lack of deep-thinking players you'll find that
very few adapt to your style.
