Ladbrokes is one of the largest bookmakers in the UK, which ensures you the best conditions as a customer. With a unique edition of the Microgaming software, Ladbrokes ensures you a great poker experience. Ladbrokes has recently joined the Microgaming network, which means more games - but they still have their own tables as well making Ladbrokes the best choice on the Microgaming network! There’s a unique 100% bonus up to $1000 to get you started if you sign up through ePokerIndex. (PokerNews is our partner)
Fish
You will certainly meet some crazy calling-stations at this huge English bookmaker, but generally the players at Ladbrokes play a decent game of poker. but it\'s a very pleasant mix of standard players that are fairly easy to predict, and donks that will call an all-in pot bet on turn with a small flush draw - just happened... and he cracked my set :) Games have never been offered to Americans, so it’s mainly European players that you’ll meet at the tables.
Traffic
Players during peak hours:
Cash-games: up to 2.000
Tournaments: up to 10.000
Ladbrokes is on the Microgaming network, but in addition to the shared tables, they also have certain tables which are exclusive to Ladbrokes. This gives them more traffic than other Microgaming rooms. There\'s usually cash game traffic at most stakes, but it\'s mainly concentrated around Texas Holdem. Sit and Gos have decent action, but patience is needed for the $20+2 SNGs and above. MTT traffic is acceptable, with some overlay at times and special events incl. qualifiers for major live events such as the WSOP and WPT.
Software
Ladbrokes uses a unique version of the Microgaming software, since it\'s not related to the Microgaming network. Lately, the software has been updated, so that it now includes some innovative features which the Microgaming rooms can only dream about. Download the newest version of Ladbrokes to be thoroughly introduced to all of these. As always, software from Microgaming is extremely smooth, simple and fast, with a great mini-view for the tables, if one likes to multi-table. One top of that there are all the standard features you’ll need like Stats, Notes, a normal download-hand-history-feature and flexible “camera angle”. Another lovely thing about this software, is that you can create your own private table/tournament! Cash-game, Sit & Go, Multi table tournament or maybe just a freeroll? You can choose between 35 levels from $0.02/$0.04 to $500/$1000 – no limit, pot limit or fixed limit. You also have all five games offered to choose from: Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 card stud and 5 card stud. Private tables will have passwords, so you can select who joins your tables.
Tournaments
At peak times, which is in the evening European time, up to 5000 tournament players and logged on to Ladbrokes. There are many interesting tourneys held around here, multi table tournaments with guaranteed pricepools, satelistes for major licve event and of course - plenty of Sit and Gos to choose from. These also run as satellites, plus some very interesting Ladders where you buy your way into a certain Sit & Go, and win entry to a higher level by finishing in the top three. There are 3-5 levels, and if you go far enough, there’s a great cash prize waiting for you! It can be really exiting, as well as lucrative, to play these. Unfortunately, Sit and Gos with buy-ins higher than $20+2 are not very popular. Multi Table Tournaments rarely have more than 150 entrants.
