Cooks Casino
Captain
Cooks Poker is another operator of the Prima Poker Network and has been
since March 2003. The benefit of playing on the network is the continual
strong flow of players, a result of many poker sites all feeding through
to one big room. Because of the size of Prima, they also spread a good
variety of games from very low limit (easy pickings!) to high stakes pot
limit and no limit (great if you¡¯ve got the bankroll or good to just
watch)
Graphics
/ Software
Call
me old fashioned, but there is much that you can do to convince me that
I'm anywhere but sat in front of my computer looking at cards on screen.
(I¡¯ve tried True poker, but it¡¯s just too slow.) The graphics are
clear here and your hole cards are easy to see. When the flop comes, the
cards are always visible, and they even have an indicator that shows who
has acted and what they did.. I did have a few issues with the software
when they first introduced the Multi Table Tournament, as it always
seemed to freeze and was really slow, but I think after constant calls
from thousands of players, they have ironed out these glitches.
Cashout
/ Bonus
The
reason that I chose this site was due to the fact that there are so
quite a few different sites that operate for the prima network, but
Captain Cooks Poker is one of the few that has the backing of a large
casino group. When putting down my hard earned dollars, I feel that
security of information and credit details are a huge part of where I
play, and knowing that Captain Cooks Poker comes under the highly
professional banner of CasinoRewards and is therefore heavily monitored,
I am safe in the knowledge that all is secure, and when it comes to cash
out it comes safely and without hassle.
Customer
/ Support / Security
Customer
support is important to me as things in the online world inevitably go
wrong. The Poker room shares the same support as the casinos attached to
it, so there is always someone on the phone 24/7, and even though for
big technical issues, the support has to contact the Prima network (why
the player can¡¯t contact Prima Poker direct, I don¡¯t know) you
usually have any questions resolved within a 24hour time frame. Most
quick questions I had about my account or cashout, were answered right
there on the spot.
Live
Games
This
site has 5 Card Stud !! Not many online poker rooms cover this game
anymore, but as an old school player, it¡¯s great to find a site that
not only has it, but also has a whole bunch of players ready and willing
to play. Captain Cooks Poker has all the big games such as Holdem, Omaha
and as mentioned above 5 Card and 7 Card Stud. It also has a whole
spread of games with heads up action, so if you can find a willing
partner, you can sit at a private table and go back and forth.
Limits
I¡¯m
a middle limit player so Captain Cooks Poker is right up my alley, but
they do have all limits, from very low 25c/50c all the way up to pot
limit 50/100. A lot of people I come across say that they like the micro
limit (2c/4c) games offered at other poker sites, but I find that no one
is willing to lay down a hand at that level, so I'd rather stick to
playing for fun than playing for such small limits.
NEED
SOME HELP?
Players
have the option of contacting the Poker support center via Email, Live
Chat or Phone at anytime and the support staff are always more than
happy to help out. The support staff is highly skilled and trained in
all aspects of the Poker software and can provide immediate assistance
when you need it.
