Site Review : Noble Poker
I had an account there a while back. A friend was into it and talked me into joining. I did the signup bonus and then got the hell out of dodge. Heres my take on the site:
First off, its real small.I guess its growing, might be bigger now. They have a signup bonus, which clears in ring games. The software blows. You can have a max of 3 tables open (not 4), and the big thing...you cannot move the tables from atop one another. They all coexist in the same 800x600 window, and you have to select tables from a menu in the corner. And what REALLY killed me is that they popup when its your action, and the action buttons are obviously one atop the other. You see where this is going. I had 2 misclick dissasters, both in NL ring. They have a "push" button, and twice id be about to push in a SnG, and the NL pops up, and i pushed in the NL ring. Both times i got looked up (!) and both times my reandom 2 lost. Once cost $90-ish and the 2nd cost $120-ish.
About the quality of players...well, suffice it to say, i made 2 open pushes for like 50 BB in 1-2 NL, and got looked up twice. I remember one of them was by a guy with AJ. Draw your own conclusions.
The SnG scene. From what i remember, most of the games were wither 5ppl or 6ppl SNGs, i cant remember which. I think they did have 10-person, but they were very infrequent. Again, this may have changed in the last 6 months or so since i was there.
Anyways, i guess thats about all i have to say. It must sound like im bashing the site, and i guess i am, but its just one guys opinion, so dont let me stop you from trying it out. Really most of my rage comes from the software, and its inherent risk of disasterous misclicks.
I can try to answer further questions to the best of my recollection.
