Ultimate Bet
With top players like Phil Hellmuth, Annie Duke, and Devilfish Ulliott endorsing Ultimate Bet, it’s impossible to ignore it when looking for a new site to spend some time at. With an established team of pros, a good promotional campaign, and large player volumes, Ultimate Bet appears to be doing quite well, so I decided to get in on the action.

Empire Poker
Empire’s home page is clean enough, with all the standard bits in place- the screen is dominated by the “$2 Million Guaranteed” banner, promising $2 million every month on Empire. The features are nice enough, and the download is easily accessible- all the better to get you playing sooner.

Pacific Poker
Pacific Poker is a division of 888 Gaming, and one of the fastest growing poker sites on the web. As an avid online player, I regularly frequent some of Pacific Poker’s competitors, so I was anxious to try this site, which my friends were constantly recommending to me.

Poker Champs
As a huge Gus Hansen fan, I was really looking forward to checking out Poker Champs. Gus is a founding partner of the upstart site, and I was hopeful that he could put together a site to compete with other Poker stars’ sites, such as the collaboration on the excellent Full Tilt Poker site. Here are my impressions.

Poker Room
The homepage for Poker Room is clean but full of information. Poker Room has a standard drop down menu, allowing easy access to all the normal features we’ve come to expect from online Poker sites. Poker Room also offers many other casino games, like blackjack, baccarat and let it ride, but those won’t be the focus of my time here.
