Sportsbook.com is a sportsbook, racebook and casino that has been operating since 1997, taking over $3 billion in bets yearly and boasting over one million members.

The Sportsbook Poker poker room opened in 2006 on the Cake poker network and immediately established itself as a player. The poker room has grown very quickly and offers maybe the loosest and juiciest games available online today. The player base is recruited through the sportsbook and casino, making a large portion of the players beginners and very easy to beat.

The software features nice graphics and functionality, as it was developed by a group of poker players looking to "re-invent" the online poker world. Game play is very good and offers basically everything most poker players need, with table statistics, fast action, the ability to play over 10 tables simultaneously and great support features.

Players will find all variations of Texas Hold'em on the site, as well as Omaha and Omaha Hi-Lo. The games vary between No-Limit, Pot-Limit and Fixed-Limit. Full-table games, short-handed, and heads-up tables are all available. The games are concentrated on No-Limit Hold'em, especially at the small and middle limits, but at peak hours players can be found at pretty much any limit and game.

Sportsbook Poker offers a decent amount of tournaments in both Omaha and Texas Hold'em. The traffic volume overall is in the lower segment of the industry but is growing fast. Sportsbook Poker also offers monthly massive-value $100,000 freerolls.

Real-money player statistics as of March 2009 show 1,700 ring-game players at peak hours, and 6,000 tournament players at peak hours.

Full Tilt Poker

Full Tilt Poker opened for business in July 2004 and with an aggressive marketing campaign has gradually grown to be one of the leading online poker rooms. Full Tilt sponsors some of the biggest names in poker including Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer and Phil Gordon, who can sometimes be seen playing at the tables.

During peak times there can be up to 60,000 tournament and 10,000 cash game players found at the Full Tilt Poker real money tables. The cash games consist mainly of Limit or No-Limit Texas Hold'em tables.

Historically even at lower limits the players at Full Tilt Poker tended to be quite a bit tighter than those found at most other online poker rooms. Although these tight players were not necessarily be good players it did make it much more difficulty to win than rooms with looser players. However as the room has grown in size the competition has gotten considerably easier, especially in the Omaha games.

The software at Full Tilt Poker is excellent with no discernable bugs or problems. Available for both MacIntosh and Windows platforms the software runs smoothly, quickly and is easy to navigate. While the cartoonish graphics may not be to everyone's tastes they do provide a welcome change from the staid visuals found at most other poker rooms. Statistics provided in the lobby to assist table selection are average pot size, percent of players seeing the flop and hands per hour.

Full Tilt Poker has one of the best sign-up bonuses found at online poker rooms - 100% up to $600. Every few months there are additional 50% deposit bonuses offered. Players can also earn Full Tilt Points through real money play which can be redeemed for special points tournaments or merchandise.

Full Tilt Poker offers 24 hour support via e-mail only. The response time is fast, usually within half an hour, and the quality of responses is very high.

Players Only

PlayersOnly is one of the newer additions to the Cake Poker network, and still accepts US players to deposit real money funds.

While playing at Players Only Poker, you will notice they offer limit, pot-limit, and no-limit Hold'em, limit and pot-limit Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo. 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo are given as game tabs, but when selected the lobby displayed, "No games found for this selection." A vast majority of the users connected were playing Hold'em; with no-limit being the most popular.

One of the best things I noticed about Players Only Poker was the spread of players spread across stakes. Even though they are not in the top 10 of the most popular poker rooms today, you will be able to find a game. With only an average of around 4000 players connected, I was surprised to see over 700 active tables; which is very nice for a smaller poker room.

Most of the tournaments at Players Only Poker are in the $10 - $30 buy-in range, and guarantees range from $1500 to $10,000. There are also quite a good number running at the higher stakes.

As mentioned earlier, while playing at Players Only you will earn Frequent Player Points (FPP). These FPP are used to release bonuses and to earn Gold Chips. How fast you earn Gold Chips depends on how many FPP you earn in each month; the more you play, the faster you earn them. Currently, Gold Chips can only be used to buy-in to special tournaments and freerolls, with prize pools ranging from $1200 up to $15000.

Doyles Room

DoylesRoom started offering poker in 2004, and was very successful in attracting players with the endorsement of one of the most famous players in the world.

The bulk of those players were American, of course, so the passing of the UIGEA in 2006 was a hit to traffic volume.

Since then, the site has moved through a few different networks - off and on accepting U.S. players - before recently landing on the Cake poker network, which allows for U.S. players.

Because of that, DoylesRoom once again boasts decent traffic, a wide game variety and an extensive range of table limits.

The Cake network is also notorious for having very soft games and tons of fish at the tables, so the traffic can only be expected to rise. On top of that, DoylesRoom also offers plenty of promotions and the famous weekly bounty tournament in which Doyle himself plays, accompanied by his friends Mike Caro and Hoyt Corkins and his son Todd.

Games offered at DoylesRoom are Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud, Five-Card Draw and Five-Card Stud. Real money player statistics as of March 2009 show 2,000 ring-game players at peak hours, and 10,000 tournament players at peak hours.
