CD Poker Software

CD Poker's software was designed and is maintained by Playtech, a leader in online gaming software.

CD Poker's main menus are fully-functional with many state-of-the-art features built in. Navigation is relatively easy. The main table and tournament menus are easy to use, and employ the industry standard "Players seeing flop" percentages and "hand per hour". The cashiering and account info menus are all very easy to use. Several buttons on the bottom of the software help players navigate their site.

CD Poker features a standard green-felt table but, unfortunately, their card backs are green, matching the color of the table.. The background is red chairs upon a red carpet on a tan floor. The graphics, themselves are somewhat easy on the eyes, but the avatars are a bit busy. There is, however, a feature that turns off the avatars and allows players to play without them. There is also dealer's voice which can be toggled on or off. CD Poker does not offer a four-color deck.

The only problems with the software are miniscule. First, players cannot add chips to their stacks while they still have cards. Hand histories are saved as XML files rather than textfiles, which makes reviewing hand histories extremely difficult. CD Poker has one of the worst note-taking functions in online poker. The size of the notepad is miniscule, and the function has no word-wrap capability. Finally, any action click is registered immediately. Players cannot click the button and drag-off the button if they change their minds.

CD Poker's software has a tendency to disconnect players. Re-connecting is not automatic. This is a problem with all of the poker sites that share the iPoker platform.

CD Poker Traffic

CD Poker has a large player base which averages between 12-20,000 players during the week with slightly larger numbers on the weekend. As part of the iPoker network, players will find cash games and tournaments and SnGs around the clock.

CD Poker Games

CD Poker has a variety of games available to it's players.

The most played game at CD Poker is, of course, Texas Holdem. Stakes for fixed limit range from micro-limit $0.02/$0.04 to high limit $50/$100. At NL, buy-ins range from NL2 to NL2000. Players and tables can be found at both FL and NL at most limits and buy-ins. These tables run the gamut of heads-up to 10-man fullring. PL Holdem can be found at the lower buy-ins.

Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo and 7-Stud are all offered, but traffic in these games are scarce or non-existent.

CD Poker has many players who play MTTs and SnGs. With freerolls, satellites, qualifiers and big guaranteed prizepool events, tournaments and SnGs can be found daily to suit the styles and buy-ins of most CD Poker players.

Bullajami Discretionary Poker Room Bonus Rating

Piscivorous Discretionary Poker Room Bonus Rating

When the iPoker Network was available to Americans before the UIGEA, CD Poker was a site I was looking at to bonus chase. Having already successfully chased the initial deposits at Noble Poker and Titan Poker, CD Poker was next on the list. Unfortunately, I never got to do so. Some of the reasons I wanted to go here are the success at which I profited from playing against the weak players on the site. Add to this the fact that the bonus clears incrementally and that I could finish this bonus in 3 months when I was playign everyday, and it was attractive enough to make me contemplate it. There are a few drawbacks. The bonus does clear very slowly and players who are micro-limit grinders or who do not have a lot of free time may want to pass as the bonus becomes frustratingly slow to accrue. Other small problems that exist are that bonuses are not stackable at CD Poker and the bonus doesn't clear very well in SnG and tournament play, even at the highest VIP levels. Despite my near miss at CD Poker and the drawbacks, CD Poker is a site I would like to play and bonus chase at, should the UIGEA get repealed in the future.
