Cool Hand Poker Launches - Blink And You May Miss It
|
Author: Marc
October 6 - This article will be a mix of PR fluffery and my own observations interspersed. See if you can tell which is which!
With the internet full of poker rooms that offer high roller status stakes, beginner or recreational players may feel slightly intimidated by these numbers. These types of players prefer the option of playing low stake games within a comfortable gaming environment, without the threat of professional players gobbling up their bankrolls.
Online poker rooms can of course only succeed if they have a lot of high-roller action, or if they manage to attract thousands and thousands of low-stakes grinders. As a new online poker room you cannot do the latter because you will not attract the requisite volume of players. Why is it that every other poker room has gone after high-stakes players? Is Cool Hand Poker that much smarter than the rest? No, they're just wrong. Hey, it happens.
Cool Hand Poker has recognized this fact and has launched its new poker room on the Microgaming poker network to give its players the type of non threatening gaming environment they demand.
If you want a non-threatening poker environment you're going to play for free and the room will make no money. Low stakes players all want to become high stakes players. That is the lure of poker - playing in $10,000 tournaments thanks to winning $1 satellites. If you're only offering low stakes, or you think low stakes poker is somehow important in and of itself you are mistaken.
The aim of the new Cool Hand Poker room is to attract recreational players with relatively low stake games that are usually avoided by high stake players. This means that these players can relax, knowing that they are playing against fellow poker fans who play at their level, and not against sharks out looking for easy prey.
The highest Fixed Limit stakes at Cool Hand Poker are $15/$30, $10/$20 in Pot Limit games and $5/$10 No Limit ring games.
As the newest member of the superb Microgaming poker network, players will be assured of one of the most superior poker software platforms in the industry, with a wide range of games available, including Texas Hold 'em, Omaha Hold 'em, Omaha Hi Lo, 5 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud and 5 Card Draw.
Needless to say, as a Microgaming site, Cool Hand Poker also offers excellent graphics and sound features, a diverse selection of ring games and tournaments, as well as free play and real play gaming options.
To encourage new players to try its site and better their poker skills, Cool Hand Poker offers an online poker school that covers all the basic rules and strategies associated with the game. Combined with the free play option that players can use to improve their poker skills, as well as the low limit games, this is the perfect site for anyone who is just starting out on their great poker adventure, or those who prefer sticking to recreational poker playing.
I know we're no longer allowed to short financials but can we short new online poker rooms? If so, I'm betting that this site will go the way of Duplicate Poker and nearly every other new online poker room. Why play here when you could play for the same stakes at Full Tilt and Poker Stars? If you cannot answer that question then Cool Hand Poker will also fail.
