Chris Moneymaker won the World Series of Poker’s Main Event in 2003. This individual championship led to a tidal wave of online poker players and online poker websites. The leader in the online poker world was PokerRoom. PokerRoom dominated the industry for a decade. They had the best graphics, variety of card games, and overall experience. PokerRoom closed its doors in 2009 following a decline in players from the United States. Online players can once again turn to PokerRoom for their online poker needs because the poker giant is reopening its website.
Back in its early existence, PokerRoom was unique. It was one of the only places to find a game of five card stud online. It has also always had good graphics (for the time period) and a large variety of tournaments. With the reopening of PokerRoom, these things haven’t changed. You can still find five card stud, Texas hold’em, Omaha hi/lo, and all types of cash poker games.
The grand reopening of PokerRoom has also not limited its wide range of different tournaments either. The types of tournaments available in the relaunched PokerRoom include scheduled, sit & go, rebuy, freerolls, freezout, turbo, guaranteed, added cash, cannonball, qualifiers, and restricted tournaments.
In addition, players on the reopened PokerRoom can organize their own home poker game through PokerRoom.com website. This is basically a free program that users can download to his or her computer and they can run a smooth poker tournament with friends. No one has to bring a timer or rely on a stopwatch.
These user-friendly features are why online poker players are excited about the return of PokerRoom, and they should be. The features, game play, graphics, and software are all top class and the reopening of PokerRoom is destined to be a success.
