Blue Square Poker - Review

Blue Square Poker is the new section of the growing Blue Square / Rank Group. As you would expect their poker site is stylishly modern and easy to use. The iPoker / Playtech software offers cutting edge, feature-rich, poker. In addition the site has some impressive safety features and great customer support to help you if you have any difficulties. Right now all new customers currently receive up to $500 bonus and Blue Square offer a considerable poker tournament schedule and the ring games are always busy. It's easy to understand why people play at this site.

Blue Square Poker are on the iPoker, the quickest growing poker network in Europe. Blue Square Poker switched from the Tribeca network early in 2007.

This biggest change from the old network is the new design of the tables. They are a brighter blue colour and now have a dealer (dealer sound optional); players also have avatars (which you can choose). All this gives a more interesting view for the user.

Useful features of the software include the essential four colour deck (as the cards are quite small), a good "real-time" one click hand history. The lobby is well presented and you can find what you're looking for very easily.

Each table can also come in a mini-mode view, which allows you to fit 4 tables on a 1024x728 screen without overlap, for those players that multi-table.

Blue Square poker receives a good amount of traffic with around 8,000 players at the cash table during peak hours, and around 30,000 playing tournaments.

The majority of the traffic is for Texas Hold'em with a good selection of full ring or 6-max tables going all the way up through the stakes from 5c/10c to $50/$100. As expected the higher stakes have some tough games with competent opponents. At the lower micro-limits there's plenty of easy money to be gotten.

Omaha is growing in popularity at Blue Square Poker. Traditional hold'em players are branching out at the four card game, so there are potential rich pickings for a competent players.
