Summary of Aced Poker
Although being the newest poker room on the net, Aced.com is a league above many of the poker sites out there. Aced opened in August 2008, shortly after Chan Poker closed its doors. All players had their accounts transferred to Aced Poker, which may be a huge factor as to why Aced has had such great traffic straight from the word go.
Aced is the newest addition to the ever increasing Merge family. The biggest benefit to joining this network is the excellence of the software provided. Players will be looking for a long time to find any software which matches that of Aced Pokers. They provide all the features a player could want, including more, but still have found a way to create a simplistic and clean design which is easy on the eyes and all round player friendly.
They also don’t disappoint in other areas of their site. They offer hugely rewarding promotions, fantastic, helpful support and a great first time deposit bonus.
Promotions and Bonus Information
Aced Poker offers one of the best sign up bonuses available on the internet.
Any deposit up to $500 is matched by 100%, which is a very good deposit bonus.
At Aced Poker there are plenty of promos here to keep you coming back for more action. Among those promotions is the Aced Luckbox where players can earn up to $6,000 with the Poker Box of Luck, the MTT Leaderboard, the Four Aces promo, where players who get dealt four aces win 40x the big blind. You will also see plenty of live tournament promotions including a promotion where players can win their way to the WSOP for as little as $2.
Poker Traffic
Site traffic here is usually pretty good, as Aced.com is part of the Merge Network. Normally you will see an average of 5000-7500 players online with about 2/3rd at tournament games and the other 1/3rd at cash games.
During times when satellite events are running expect to see high levels of traffic, especially at tournament and sit-n-go games.
Software & Graphics
By choosing to be a part of the Merge Network, Aced Poker has provided customers with the slickest, user-friendly software on the internet. I don’t know too many players who would disagree with that statement and after you have played on the site I am sure you wouldn’t either.
Once players have opened the software they are greeted by the News Page. This is where Aced communicates with players to let them know about future promotions and news regarding the site. This is a nice touch to keep members involved with the happenings at the room and to keep them updated with events and promotions so they are unlikely to miss out. Once into the main lobby players can pick and choose the results they are shown via the tabs and filter. Players select what sort of game they want from the tabs such as cash games, tournaments or SNG’s and then with the filter they can specify exactly which type of game they want within that sector. For example they may choose to only display full table high limit tables and the filter will remove all other tables from the screen apart from the ones that fit the player’s needs.
Once into a game, players will notice Aced hasn’t slacked on table design. The appearance is highly appealing and full of features. Players benefit from features such as chat smileys, odds once players are all-in, ‘run it twice’, and ‘rabbit hunt’ in which the winner of the pot can choose whether they wish to see how the rest of the community cards would have been dealt out.’
Game Variety
Aced has a very wide variety of Poker Game options. These include: Texas hold’em, Omaha, Caribbean Stud, Five Card Stud, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo (also 7 Card Stud High Low, H/L/8), Razz, Deuce to 7 Lowball, Badugi, 5 Card Draw, Black Jack, Roulette, Video Poker, Backgammon, Euchre.
Cash games at Aced.com are available in all varieties of poker with limits from .02c/.04c up to $50/$100. The majority of the cash game players will be seated at the Texas Hold’em games, but you will find no shortage of players at other variant games including 5-Card Draw, Omaha and Stud games. If Triple Draw or Badugi are you game, you may find it harder to find a cash game here during the day, but night time seems to bring out those players.
