Players will find the navigation, lobby and tables to be perfectly user-friendly, regardless of their online poker experience. In-game features include over-sized cards, clear action buttons, graphic replay of hands, note taking and personal stats. In the ring game lobby, players will find all of the essential stats to find a suitable table, like viewed-flop percentages, average pot size and hands per hour. Hand histories are available for cash game and tournament play, viewed in a simple graphic interface.

The software supplied to iPoker Network skins is pretty basic, offering Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7 Card Stud and 5 Card Stud, with a notable lack of 7 Card Stud Hi-Lo. Stakes range from micro-limits of $.01/$.02 to $100/$200 in NL and PL games, while FL games offer the highest stakes of $300/$600.

Ipoker Network Traffic

The iPoker Network is the 3rd largest online poker network in the world, averaging 65,000 players online at peak hours, spanning 27 poker rooms. Those are very impressive numbers when you consider that the iPoker Network is not open to US players, and the only two poker networks to rank higher do accept American residents.

About 10,000 of the iPoker Network's peak hour players are found at cash game tables, concentrated mostly in FL and NL Hold'em. There are always at least a  few active tables in the other poker variants, though. The remaining 55,000 players bide their time in MTT and SNG tournaments. Cash games are relatively loose, with anywhere from 30-50% viewed-flop percentages at low and medium level stakes.
