PokerRoom.com is one of the oldest poker sites around and still uses Java allowing you to play right from your internet browser so you do not have to download any software. However, now you have an option to download their software which allows you to keep statistics, player notes, and real time odds. The site does not offer micro limits, so understand ahead of time that $.50/$1 are the lowest limits, if you only intend to deposit $25 go elsewhere. However, the holdem games are extremely good and the competition is relatively easier compared to other sites. Poker Room is unable to attract better players because of a lack of tournament traffic, with only small buy-in tournaments and the rare guaranteed prize pool tournaments that the sharks want. If you are interested in playing cash games, especially no limit holdem, then this is worth checking out. The site has a forum for its players called 'Pokah' which creates a positive feeling poker community and keeps players informed on current promotions.
