Poker4ever has been a favourite site since I first began playing there. It is a well run and easy to use poker room.
The site is one of my top recommendations for those new to online poker, or who want a new room to enjoy fresh challenges at. The primary focus is on Texas Hold’em with most of the play found at the lower buy-in levels although Poker4ever do still have a number of higher buy-in players regularly attending. I play at Poker4ever when I fancy a low buy-in Sit and Go tournament or to take part in their guaranteed tournaments that often see good overlays.
Despite being one of the smaller sites it is conscientiously run by the support team. I recently had a cash-out error issue (my mistake) which was sorted by their excellent email support within 24 hours between Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Poker4ever is still an emerging site but, as part of the Everleaf Gaming Network, they commonly attract enough real money players during peak hours to provide plenty of opposition to test your skills. Online games can be played with the intelligence of the players to get the highest payouts. The availability of real money is there to get the desired benefits with less effort. The concentration of the players should be on improving the winning chances with safe means at Pkv Games online site.
The last six months has seen a steady increase of real money ring game players. With such good care taken of their customers and well proportioned tournament structures, Poker4ever looks to be a site that will gain ground quickly.
Poker4ever offer a limited selection of Texas Hold’em, Omaha and Omaha Hi/Lo games plus some 7 Card Stud action, all played in various standard fixed limit, pot limit and no limit betting structures.
From the lobby
Poker4ever have one of the cleanest lobbies around. Eight clearly marked side tabs let players select any of the four poker ring game formats on offer (Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo and 7 Card Stud). They can also select Multi Table Tournaments, Sit and Go Tournaments, Steps, (entry to major events via a series of SnG’s) and a very useful Most Popular tab which takes players to where the ring game action is.
Three major horizontal tabs select Fixed Limit, No Limit/Pot Limit and Practice chips in the ring game selection and quickly filter games in the Tournament, Sit and Go and Steps areas.
Each of the ring game and tournament selections can be further sorted by sub tabs to other requirements.
Sit and Go tournaments
Sit and go players will find many games in the $0.11 to $ 5.50 buy-in range beginning at regular intervals plus a number of higher buy-ins taking place as well. These games are all no limit Texas Hold’em and are most popular on six seat tables.
Scheduled tournaments
The scheduled tournaments are well attended with a good mix of satellites and regular games to choose from. Typically their $700 guaranteed NLH attracts over 50 players at a $5.50 buy-in, and higher buy-in players will go for the $4,000 guaranteed where up to 100 players will commit the $27.50 entry. There are plenty of $1.10, $2.20 and $3.30 regular tournaments on offer too.
The total player numbers at Poker4ever cannot compete with the major sites and it is right that by limiting the number and choice of games they do not try to do that; this means, what is on offer is just enough. They have found their place and work well at improving it
This is not a site that requires players submitting several hours to tournament play only to bubble, it is one that just gets on with it and works
Ring games
Cash table play begins with blind levels at $0.05/0.10 with plenty of action on these and tables up to $3/6. As standard the best attended games happen at the Hold’em tables but those wanting to play Omaha will find good company.
At the table
The table layout is simple, quick to follow and has a choice of avatars to represent the players. Action buttons allow players to place bets at pre-set amounts either by a flat call or pot size raise; they may also use the slider to increase bets, or may enter any bet amount in a text window (provided limits allow)
Common check boxes allow players to sit out, fold to any bet and auto-post their blinds. In-play check boxes give players the opportunity to pre-set a betting action if they make an early decision.
An information area gives player stats, plus has dedicated tabs for player notes, table options and support.
The table dealer avatar can be changed for one of four models whose commentary at first seems a little too much, but players soon appreciate the clear call when it is their time for action. The countdown timer encourages players to make their decisions promptly keeping the action flowing.
