FULL REVIEW - CD Poker (8.47)

Due to U.S. legislation preventing credit card companies from collecting payments for wagers made by U.S. residents, CD Poker has determined to suspend all real-money gaming business in the United States.

CD Poker is one of the most popular rooms on the iPoker network, offering loose games with lots of casino players, huge sit-and-go jackpots and good high-value promotions.

For sit-and-go players in particular, CD Poker is a virtual Mecca, hosting one of the widest arrays of tournaments in the poker world, including the well-known "Limitless" Jackpots. CD Poker also offers a nice integrated casino-games section for players wanting a break from the poker tables.

The software is the standard iPoker software, with an innovative and good-looking interface and decent graphics. Both functionality and playability are very good, and early minor glitches in the software have since been fixed.

Games offered include Hold'em, Omaha and Seven-Card Stud Hi, Omaha Hi-Lo and Five-Card Draw. Heads-up tables, full ring games, sit-and-go tournaments and multi-table tournaments are all available.

CD Poker also offers plenty of tournaments and freerolls with great value. Traffic volume overall on the iPoker network is also among the highest in the industry, with real-money player statistics as of January 2009 showing 10,000 ring-game players at peak hours and 55,000 tournament players at peak hours.

Overall, CD Poker offers relatively loose games and decent software that plays well, even though the game pace to some may be on the slow side. The software is updated frequently to ensure safety and stability, with little downtime as a result.
