Planet Poker

Updated May 06 2006

Planet Poker was one of the first, if not the first online poker rooms around. (I am not too sure at the exact order which poker room came when) They are so huge that it is impossible to actually try and give them justice in such a small space as this.

They offer you probably the most poker games than any other poker room, including games like Draw and Lowball - besides the obvious games like holdem, omaha and 7 & 5 card stud.

Signing up and getting started is the simplest part of the whole process. They have really thought about this a great deal, because nobody likes to go through a huge process to simply start playing.

With so many years behind them and so many different games and promotions, this is a poker room that you definitely need to try out, even if you are a member of another room, you should at least give this one a go.
