Hollywood Poker on the Ongame Network
It is seen as one of the first online gaming networks created
Visit the Hollywood Poker website here: www.hollywoodpoker.com
Although the network carries the one of the oldest networks tag, HollywoodPoker.com is still relatively new to the online poker industry and the Ongame network.
Taking its name from the flurry of famous players that grace the virtual felts, the site is endorsed by such celebrities as James Woods and Vince Van Patten.
This meant that the only name that would give the online poker room justice would be that of ‘Hollywood’ Poker.
Software
Hollywood Poker offer members a unique design with functionality through both their Windows and Mac compatiable versions of their software.
With the Mac version been created via a Javascript platform the software does loose some of its functionality that is offered within the downloaded version that is used by Windows users.
Although the Javascript creation meant that Mac gamers would lose some functionality, the platform still offers a great array of features for a Mac online player.
Tournaments
With the decision to stop allowing players who are based within the United States of America to play at their site due to the legal issues that are stopping credit card companies from collecting payments for any online gambling stake, Hollywood Poker have now reduced its once busy tournament schedule.
For US players, we recommend True Poker.
With a large number of guaranteed tournaments on offer every week as well as the smaller tournaments been offered means that players at the site will not fail to find a tournament to suit not only their bankroll but their expectations on a prize pool return.
One that id sure to take the attention of a huge number of players is the $1 buy in tournament that is offered with an inflated prize pool that has the site place an additional $2,500 into the prize money.
Customer Support
With the customer support that is offered by the site been primarily via an online message form, we recommend that you instead use the contact number that is supplied.
This means that any issues you have with the site can be sorted immediately rather than having to wait for an answer which took a little over 24 hours when I tested it.
Player Traffic
Although Hollywood Poker is still a relatively young site its hosted on one of the veteran pokernetworks.
With Ongame Network boasting their traffic, the site is often flooded with a huge amount of players, offering members the opportunity to find a game at what ever stake they wish to play at all day and night.
It should be noted that the standard of player at Hollywood Poker varies like any other site that offers online poker but here many of the tables boast a 50% flop seen percentage meaning that a good player has great earning potential here.
Game Selection
On signing up to the site it seems that the site is aimed towards the three most popular online poker games played on any poker platform, offering Hold’em, Omaha and Stud variants for players to try their luck at.
With stakes ranging from $0.25/$.050 up to $50/$100 on the limit tables and $0.10/$0.25 up to $25/$50 on the no limit tables, players are never short on choices when it comes to what stake they want to play at.
Overall HollywoodPoker.com offered me a great site on which i could make a home while playing my online poker sessions.
Games were regularly available for me to join and the tournaments seem to start within a very short time of each other meaning that if i was tied up playing a ring table on a winning streak i could wait until i was happy to move away before entering into one.
