Poker Share Software

The main menu software at Poker Share is very concise and offers many filters and menus for easy navigation. The menus can be sorted by clicking upon their headers. There are many filters offering each player the ability to optimize their software. The cash game menus list "Players seeing the flop" which is an important tool for table selection. Poker Share also has a buddylist option for finding those friends you might want to play with.

Poker Share tables are green felt with black cards and a "hardwood floor" background, that is both very pleasing to the eyes and eye-friendly. This dual-feature is ever important for players who wish to indulge in long sessions at Poker Share. Players have access to large note-taking boxes, a personal stat menu and can tailor the chatbox as each player sees fit. There is an onboard HH screen where players may review past hands.

The cards at Poker Share are large letter/number, and can be set for four-color mode.

Cashiering and Help screens can be found from the main lobby.

Poker Share Traffic

Poker Share belongs to the MicroGaming [Prima] Poker Network and shares it's tables and players with the other members of the network.

Poker Share Games

Poker Share offers a variety of poker games to their clientele.

Fixed limits for Holdem is between $0.05/$0.10 and $200/$400. Omaha runs from $0.10/$0.20 to $200/$400. Both 7-Stud and 5-Stud have limits ranging from $0.10/$0.20 through $25/$50. However there is very little traffic at these styles of poker at Poker Share.

NL traffic is generally short-handed with many limits and tables running during peak hours. Buy-ins run the gamut between NL4 and NL20000. There is 10-handed NL available from NL4 to NL100 on most days and times.

Poker Share offers a wide variety of multi-table tournaments for buy-ins ranging from freerolls and Frequent Players Points to $100 buy-ins. These tournaments are presented as freeze-outs, R&As, qualifiers for the WSOP and other bigger tournaments. They also sponsor several 30-player maximum freezeout tournaments, which are their answer to the three-table Sit and Gos [SnGs] of other sites.

Poker Share offers headsup, 5-player and 10-player SnGs ranging in buy-ins from $2 to $10,000. Once again, most of the SnGs at Poker Share tend to be short-handed 5-player events, although 10-player games can be found at the lower buy-ins.

Poker Share Shareback

Starting 1st July 2007, Poker Share will be offering players the chance to earn up to 30% ShareBack [rakeback] on their month’s contributions- credited directly to their account as cash.

How it works

Accumulate over 3,000 SharePoints and receive 30% ShareBack.
Players with a balance of at least 3,000 SharePoints at midnight on the 1st of each month will receive a cash payment of 30% of their rake contribution for the previous month.

Accumulate 1,500 to 2,999 SharePoints and receive 25% ShareBack.
Players with a balance of at least 1,500 SharePoints at midnight on the 1st of each month will receive a cash payment of 25% of their rake contribution for the previous month.

Accumulate over 750 to 1,499 SharePoints and receive 20% ShareBack.
Players with a balance of at least 750 SharePoints at midnight on the 1st of each month will receive a cash payment of 20% of their rake contribution for the previous month.

Your SharePoint balance at the end of the month will be the total of the SharePoints you have been awarded in the month, less any SharePoints you have used to register for tournaments.

Example:
During the month of July, Player A accumulates 1,950 SharePoints and uses 250 of these for entry into tournaments. With a remaining SharePoint balance of 1,700 Player A qualifies for 25% ShareBack.

Player A’s total rake contribution during July was $832 so during the first week of August, $208 (25% of $832) will automatically be credited to Player A’s account.

Bullajami Discretionary Poker Share Bonus Rating

Piscivorous Discretionary Poker Share Bonus Rating

Poker Share has a large bonus compared to most MicroGaming sites, with a year to clear it. Unfortunately, you will need this expiration window, because Poker Share requires players to earn 20 hands raked at $0.25 or more for each dollar of bonus to be awarded. Players cannot use tournament or SnG play to help earn this bonus either. Poker Share's VIP Program is decent which means that players will earn credits towards tournaments and in their to-be-launched online store in the future. For players looking for a quick bonus score, Poker Share should be towards the bottom of the MicroGaming list of sites to play at. For those who have large bankrolls, depositing $300 for the maximum bonus and clearing it at your leisure seems like a prudent and far-reaching bonus goal worth the slow earn rate.
