I'd never heard of this network so I thought I'd check it out. It has some unique features so it is a shame people on the west side of the pond are not going to be able to try them out.
In games there are two variants on 5 card stud which get support as does a 6 card stud variant.
In betting, as well as the usual, they also field 1/2 pot limit which can be good for those who want to be able to chose their bet levels but feel intimidated by pot or no limit. It may also be better for more social games.
My eyes lit up though when I saw that they field spead limit. Those of you who have seen my posts elsewhere will know I've been looking for this for a more social game (ie, you win, you lose, but going bust happens less). Imagine my dissapointment then, when I found that they had totally emasculated the game by fixing the limits at 1/1/2/3. So preflop and flop is just fixed limit, on the turn you can bet one chip less than at fixed limit or the same as at FL, and on the river you get to bet a whole chip more if you want!! Wow. Big bloody deal. Not surprisingly, I didn't see anyone at these tables. Maybe I'll drop them a polite note!
I'll keep the software for a little while, but I don't think I will be transfering allegance, though I may try the fun money 1/2 pot games just to see what it feels like. And they do have plenty of freerolls.....
