Gnuf Poker Software

Gnuf Poker runs the same MicroGaming [Prima] Poker software as most of the rest of the network. It is very functional and fluid.

The Gnuf Poker tables are a light blue with a silver and dark blue trim. Players are represented as light-grey placards and the background is black. Playr cardbacks are a lighter shade of blue with the Gnuf Poker logo. Players can choose the size of the table they play on from standard to large to mini. There is a 4-color deck option as well as a great note-taking tool with auto-wrapping text and player tags to facilitate quickly recognizing various players around the table. As players fold, their placards change to dark grey. Players may also toggle on an option that highlights opponent placard with colored borders to further enhance their observation of player activity.

The main menu is well-laid out with a number of filters available to make a player's navigation easier. Cash games and tournaments can be toggled in the left-side filters. However, if there are more than one page of tables for selection, they are laid out in contiguous pages which make it much more difficult to maneuver in and filter. Setting a filter by buy-in, for example, will not alter the entire page layouts from one page to another, but rather only on a per page basis. The cash game menus include hands per hour and average pot size as well as player percentage per flop.

Gnuf Poker's software is a bit slow, however. Items requiring refreshing sometimes take a while to do so, especially the tournament leaderboard screens. Like the main menu screens, the tournament position pages are contiguous and very difficult to navigate.

The table software atGnuf Poker flows with very few hang-ups and slowdowns in the action.

Gnuf Poker Traffic

Gnuf Poker belongs to the highly successful MicroGaming [Prima] Poker Network. This network and Gnuf Poker shares their tables and players among each other and this mutual stability lends itself to establishing the MicroGaming Poker Network as one of the largest and well trafficked poker networks on the internet.

Gnuf Poker Games

There is a large assortment of poker games that players at Gnuf Poker can participate in, including Texas Hold'em, 7 and 5 Card Stud, Omaha and 5-Card Draw.

Texas Hold'em is available in all forms with 10, 6 and 2 seat formats. Fixed Limit runs the gamut of blinds from $0.05/$0.10 to $150/$300 with most traffic at the $2/$4 and lower limits. PL is offered with buy-ins of PL10 to PL20000, and most traffic is centered around PL100 and lower. NL is available in buy-ins ranging from NL10 to NL40000, but traffic is only existent at NL1000 and below.

Omaha High and Omaha Hi/Lo, though offered in fixed limit and no-limit are most prevalently trafficked on the Pot-limit tables, once again with the majority of play happening on the short-handed tables.

7-Stud and 5-Stud get very little traffic, and usually at the very lowest microlimits. 5-Card Draw is lightly trafficked in the smaller NL and FL buy-ins.

MTTs get a very decent turnout. Players can find many tournaments and structures to suit their taste. Whether those tastes are guaranteed prizepool tournaments, freerolls, turbo tournaments or qualifiers to bigger events, all can be found at Gnuf Poker.

SnGs are offered with buy-ins as low as $0.90/$0.10 up to and including $1000+$50. Players may play 2, 3, 5, 8 or 10 handed. There are also 15-seat [3 tables of 5], 20-seat [2 tables of 10], and 30-seat [3 tables of 10] SnGs. Gnuf Poker also offers turbo SnGs, satellite SnGs to the $100K weekly guaranteed tournament and "Rounders" SnGs. These are step tournaments where progressive good showings can land you at the 5th round and the $3,000 first place prize.

Gnuf Poker Customer Service

Gnuf Poker email customer service is hit and miss. Of three emails sent to their customer service, only one was answered. It was, however, concise and directly answered the questions asked. Gnuf Poker has no live chat function, but does have toll-free telephone numbers. According to various sources, Gnuf Poker has industry standard payouts, although none are instantaneous. Gnuf Poker suggests that they have a 24-hour hold on payouts prior to processing.

Poker Tracker Compatibility

Gnuf Poker is compatible with Poker Tracker in all Holdem, Omaha and Stud Cash games, but is not compatible with Omaha nor Stud tournaments or SnGs. Should this change in the future, ITH will update this information.

Ability to Multitable

Players may play on 5 tables simultaneously at Gnuf Poker.

Multiple Accounts per Household

Gnuf Poker allows multiple household accounts. Players will not be able to play together on the same cash games nor SnGs, but may play together in Multi-table tournaments. Gnuf Poker reserves the right to limit bonuses to one account per household.

Reload Bonus Frequency

MicroGaming [Prima] Poker sites don't usually make general reload bonuses available to everyone. When a reload bonus is made available it is usually aimed at specific players who have played there in the past. Any changes to the frequency of reloads will be updated by ITH in the future.

Tournaments with Overlays

A tournament overlay is the result of guaranteed prize money that is not offset by the participant's buy-ins. As such, all freerolls and FPP freerolls always offer an overlay.

Players at Gnuf Poker share their SnG and Multi table tournaments with other members of the MicroGaming [Prima] Poker Network. Becasue of this high volume of traffic, players will generally only receive overlays on any freerolls and small guaranteed tournaments running in the off-hours of the early morning.

Bullajami Discretionary Poker Room Bonus Rating

Piscivorous Discretionary Poker Room Bonus Rating

Gnuf Poker is a different brand of MicroGaming poker site. While most MicroGaming [Prima] sites will require 5-7x raked/dealt hands be accrued for each $1 in bonus, Gnuf Poker has gone to a points system that will ensure that they get plenty of rake from each player as they pursue their bonus. As stated in their bonus overview, I perceive this as still a decent for $1/$2 or higher at a reasonably good table, but micro-limit grinders will find this bonus excruciatingly hard to clear and may wish to venture elsewhere for their bonuses until they can play higher at Gnuf Poker. As a departure from most MicroGaming sites, Gnuf Poker allows their players to pursue their bonus on SnG and tournament tables and their bonus accrues at a 36% rakeback scheme for those players wishing to choose this avenue of clearance.
