GNUF Poker is a
relative newcomer to the online poker world, just recently coming onto
the market in early 2007. Powered by Microgaming’s world famous
software, this poker room is fast becoming a fan favorite. And being
that it’s run on one of the largest poker networks in the world,
player traffic is always at 10,000+ people at any given time during
the day. With a great promo lineup and a vast variety of games to
choose from, it’s really no wonder why GNUF will be a mainstay in the
poker realm for many years to come.
The current first-time deposit bonus at GNUF Poker is generous 100% match
up to $50. It may not be the biggest in the business, but it’s definitely
very simple to clear. Also, the promotional tournaments and freerolls the
site offers around the clock makes up for the lack of a better bonus. In
addition to that, GNUF is currently running satellites to live tournaments
such as the EPT, WPT, and WSOP. Their “Bad Beat Jackpot” is also one of
the more popular reasons why players have been flooding the ring games as
of late. All these great offers are just added incentives for new
customers to try the site out.
The games that currently run at GNUF
Poker are pretty much the same standard games you would find at any
poker client. Minus the additional mixed games you would find at Full
Tilt or PokerStars, this site offers the following: Tecas Holdem, Omaha
Hi and Omaha
8/b, 7-Card Stud, as well as 5-Card Stud and 5-Card Draw. Stakes go as
low as $.10/$.20 to as high as $200/$400. Most of the traffic is at the
Holdem and Omaha tables, and the fish at each is abundant. For the novice
to the most seasoned of pros, this site can be very profitable no matter
what time you decide to start your session. Rake is capped at $3 for any
game with 6 or more players, with lower rake amounts set for lower stakes
games and heads-up matches.
As
mentioned above, GNUF Poker is run on one of the cleanest software
platforms out there. The programmers at Microgaming have really done a
top-notch job with all their table skins, and this room is really no
different. Utilizing the standard table and card designs that its sister
sites already use, this room also offers great features such as hand
history playback, flops seen, and the ability to open up multiple tables
without having any lag. The site can also be played via the internet
without having to download the actual client. The lobby interface is very
user-friendly and it’s very easy to find a game at any limit.
On
top of the already great software also comes a very good customer service
and support team. You wouldn’t expect any less from a network such as
this one. With 24/7 email and phone support, players can get any and all
of their account questions answered in a very quick manner. Each
representative will always get back to you in a fair amount of time, and
they’ll make sure the answers you get will answer your concerns
efficiently and diligently.
At
the moment, GNUF Poker does not allow U.S. players – but is of course open
for new depositors around the globe. Current depositing methods include
the following: Neteller, Visa, Mastercard, and Click2Pay.
