Celeb Poker - Review

Celeb Poker is solid poker site on the Boss Media network. Starting in 2003, Celeb Poker has built up a reputation for quality and great offers, and also for attracting celebrity players (hence the name)! It may be a smaller site in comparison to some, but this means that customer service is premium, and there are consistently good promotions which aren't just aimed at new players. Also there's a mass of guaranteed tournaments and satellites to live events, with over 13,000 players at peak times. Celeb Poker is a gem of a site and has so much to offer its players, including a €500 signup bonus, among other promotions. Celeb Poker is a room which doesn't stand still and is constantly offering its customers something new.

The gameplay is nice & quick and tables are easy on the eye. Thankfully there are no imposing blocky avatars to distract you from the action. There's an option of a four colour deck and note taking function, plus live tabbed statistics on your own play and the table in general. Unfortunately there's no "one-click" hand history from the table which is a shame. There's the option of full screen or windowed playing. Unfortunately there's no option to reduce the size of the windows, or a mini mode view, so this isn't the best site for multi-tabling on. The games generally run around the 40-45 hands per hour mark.

The site and lobby have been designed in a classic blue colour and is styled like most Boss Media lobbys, which is no bad thing. It includes all the features you'd expect including like "find a player", filterable menus, flop %’s etc.. You can also filter the menus to find games played in £'s $'s and €'s which is a nice touch, and filter for games by particular countries which could be an advantage if you like to generalise about a certain nation's playing style (if you feel like playing a whole table of crazy Scandies).

Another nice little feature of Celeb Poker is the ‘Players Area’ which keeps a record of all you results, your current leaderboard positioning, VIP points etc all in one place.

The Boss Media network is around the 9th biggest poker network on the web. This means that you'll never be short of a game. At peak times there are around 3,000 cash game players and around 13,000 tournament players. Most the play takes place on the texas holdem tables and since Celeb Poker attracts relative newcomers the play pretty fishy. There's plenty of soft games and money to be won, although there are a few sharks from the Boss Media, in general the games are pretty easy to beat at the lower and mid range limits. Most of the flop %'s are around 40 or above, so you know there's loose action.
