Software and Graphics

The software at Poker Plex is a good one and has been provided by Cryptologic. The game play is smooth most of the times and the lobby is pretty neat. Vital information such as view flop percentage and average pot size is displayed. You can also view the players playing at a table by selecting a table. One problem is that you cannot access the functions related to Cashier unless you close all the tables. The poker windows are large and so the resolution needs to be large otherwise the windows overlap even when you are playing at two tables.

Brief review of Poker Plex Room

Overview

Poker Plex is promoted by Bingo Entertainment Ltd, which is one of the world's foremost online bingo marketing and management companies, and Cryptologic Inc, a highly acclaimed international supplier of digitally distributed gaming platforms. Poker Plex offers average number of games but the limits are varied in nature. The games run smoothly but at times tend to get sluggish. The traffic is decent and most of the player traffic is concentrated on low limit games. The competition is loose but the game play is difficult at higher limit games. The software has some advanced features to offer but the graphics are not so great. The promotions are truly wonderful and the monthly $50 bonus offered to all real money players is nothing short of great.

Game variety

Poker Plex Room supports all the conventional and usual games like the Texas Hold’em, Omaha-Hi/Lo, and Seven-Card Stud are available. However, Texas Holdem game is available in fixed limit and Omaha is available in pot-limit. The games are available in varied limits and the highest limit is GBP 150/300 in fixed limit and GBP 10/20 in no-limit Texas Holdem.

Competition

Fish

Lot of players from the mother company’s online casino base visit Player Plex. They are new and inexperienced players and are mostly interested in playing for free here. Above average tournament players can do very well here. Most of the players usually play with bad hands, so it is recommended that you raise the bets quickly in order to fizzle out the competition. Most of the action is restricted to lower limits but with some good promotions they are attracting lot of new players. As the stakes increase the competition tends to become tougher and it is quite stiff in high stake games.

Customer and Technical Support

The customer support is pretty good at Poker Plex. You will get telephone support as well as live online and email support. The response from the representatives is pretty quick. The option to call their support telephone number is better. The operators have good knowledge and are quite friendly as well.

Rake

Poker Plex follows a No Flop - No Drop policy i.e. they do not take any rake from hands that do not reach the flop. They take 5% from every pot over $5, up to a maximum of a $3 rake.

Suggestions

You need to raise your strong hands, especially pre-flop because lots of players are loose and passive. You will definitely find tables where 4 or 5 players will invariably see the flop, so strong hands like pocket Aces and Kings gain importance. However, you need to be aware of potential draws on the flop. If you play slow a big hand where there are two suited or connected cards on the board, you're simply giving other players a free chance to draw out on you. You need to make them pay to see the flop, and pay for their draws. By participating in these tables and playing positively, there’s every chance that you might even win smaller pots facilely.
