6 Max Limit Texas Holdem Tables
You can play at at table regardless of currency. Its automatically exchanged when you choose table. If theres alot of players online they open more tables.
Alot of the players come from the sites related casinos. These players will jump in at all stake levels and are drawn in particular to the 6 max limit games because of the added action and excitement. They seem to be players who are playing for fun like they would any other casino game, as if there is no winning strategy. There are very few good players, especially at the lower limits. On offer are a wide range of limits, which is great for beginners who want to climb the limits as there bankroll increases. The site is expanding and improving all the time.
Also has 1 on 1 heads up tables.

Betting If a betting round starts heads up you have uncapped betting. This is hugely important advantage as if you play often there will be times when you have the nuts and the other player will keep raising and you can keep reraising. With reads on some players you won't even need the nuts to take advantage of this as players will overplay there hands quite often and you'll get the opportunity to get a couple of extra reraises in, sometimes you will get many reraises in and take the rest of there stack! E.g they have 3 of kind, you have a straight, they have a straight you have flush, etc. This is one of the prime reasons I like to play at this site and it does wonders for your winrate.
Softness of games Above average softness. $2/$4 and $3/$6 are very soft.
