Brief review of Golden Palace Poker Room

Overview

The Golden Palace Casino group promotes Golden Palace. This room is known for using a good software, which is maintained by one of the world's top gaming companies. They offer attractive and easy-to-use graphics designed by poker players. They attract lot of new players and so soft games are an integral part of this site. The site is one of the few members of Tribeca Table software operators, which is open to US citizens. The site is also known for its unique marketing efforts with frequent players points and lots of freerolls. The game offerings are not much and so the traffic is average here and mostly concentrated in Holdem games. The software is pretty good and supports lot of good features.

Game variety

The different types of games supported on this website include Texas Holdem, Omaha, and Omaha High-Low. Texas Holdem is available in limit, pot-limit, and no-limit versions whereas Omaha and Omaha High-Low are available only in limit and pot-limit versions. Seven-card Stud High and Hi-Lo are the new offerings, which are being planned.

Tournament Types

Golden Palace poker offers both single and multi-table tournaments. They have recently added Satellite and Re-buy/Add-on tournaments. All these tournaments are facilitated with fun and entertainment in a thrilling way to experience poker and enjoy our favorite game.

Game Information

The website provides good information related to rules of all the supported games. One disadvantage is that they do not have a flash-based tutorial, which gives an insight on how to play poker on their website. However, they provide ample number of FAQs to help find different information. They also have a lot of free games for beginners to play and get comfortable before they go and play for big money.

Competition

Thanks to the players visiting Golden Palace Poker from Golden Palace Casino, you can find a lot of weak online players featuring at the tables here. It is possible for you to win hordes of money if you protect yourself against draws. You can also expect yourself to run into hands that play every possible draw. However, you can find some great action at the high stakes tables like $50/$100.

Sign-up bonus

The sign-up bonus at Golden Palace Poker is pretty average. Starting from March till the end of April, all players are eligible for a 25% cash bonus on their first deposit of at least $20. There is a condition attached to it. Golden Palace Poker has some good sign-up bonus programs. It offers 25% sign-up bonus to all its members, which is maximum up to $100.

Besides, you should also earn some promotional points for clearing the pending bonus amounts. Unless or until you clear this, you cannot earn the “normal” or “promotional” points.

Loyalty bonus

This room has some good promotional bonus offers. For every bonus dollar, you can earn around 125 action points with no trickle feed or partial payment. These action points are calculated on the basis of the rake you earn and generate.

Fish

Golden Palace Poker offers fish and that too in good numbers. The table stakes seem to have little correlation with player skill. There are a lot of new players and in their haste to show their skills, loose the plot and end of playing loose. It clearly means that you should raise your premium hands more than usual to thin out the competition.

Software and graphics

Tribeca Tables has developed the software at Golden Palace Poker. The graphics are nice and offer good functionality. Their software is fast paced and supports features like buddy list function. You also have the option of creating private tables. The animations supported are appealing and do not distract. You can play pot- and no-limit ring games and utilize the live floor managers. You can display user avatars or decide to disable them for an even better look. On the negative side, the lobby information does not include view flop percentage information and the notes taking facility is not available. The supported games are only Holdem and Omaha. One interesting feature is that by clicking at make a suggestion link on every table, you can give a suggestion to them to improve.

Ring game traffic

For $30 / $60 and $150 / $300 limit games, the maximum rake is $4.

Suggestions

It is suggested that you have a hand if you're going to be in the pot. You should raise your strong hands and always keep an eye on the active pot. There are 5 or 6 players who routinely see the flop. It means that you're getting great pot odds to play suited connectors or marginal hands from late position. Just have the strength to release those hands if you don't flop, an extremely bad hand. One thing more that you should be thinking about is how to extract a big pot when you've got a real monster, you should try to slow play your big hands a lot more often.
