Cake Poker began operations in 2006 when a small team of poker players decided to get togther to build a unique poker site. Currently, it sits on the Cake poker network along side nearly 30 other leading online poker rooms. Cake Poker is a medium size poker room but is seeing a steady increase in traffic since its Gold Card promotion that was launched in Febuary 2009.
Cake Poker's main promotion is the Gold Card promotion and the $500 new depositer freerolls. Gold Cards are earned by playing raked hands in cash games and can be redeemed for a number of things including tournament entries and jackpot draws. there is also a Gold Card race where the player with the most Gold Cards earned each week gets a prize of $12,000. Cake Poker also offers a frequent player point program where you can purchase the items mentioned above with your points.
Cake Poker offers every variation of poker but you won't see much traffic on anything other than Holdem and Omaha but hopefully with the steady traffic increase they are seeing the other games will pick up as well. The game selection includes Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven Card stud, Seven Card Stud 8 or Better, five card Stud and Texas Holdem at stakes of as little as ¢.01/¢.02.
The Cake Poker software is obviously run on the Cake Poker Network which is known for crisp and clean graphics and great playability. Some of the features include the ability to multi table up to four tables at once, an easy to use player stats feature and a hand history feature that also keeps track of player chat. The software doesn't really offer any over the top features but all the functions are useful in helping the player customize the game play to their liking.
Overall Cake Poker is a great place to play your poker and is well known for soft play at any limit.
