Player Traffic

As part of the Cryptologic network player traffic is fairly good – peak times see over 5000 players at the tables with over 2000 common at non-peak periods. The heads-up games bet busy at the lower to medium limits, again particularly at peak times such as European evenings and weekends.

Poker Software

The software at Sun Poker is plain, simple and easy to use – the focus of this site is on the poker. Finding the heads-up cash tables is very easy with a ‘1 on 1’ tab directly available on the main lobby. Once you click this the heads-up games are all displayed and can be sorted by game type, buy-in level and availability. The heads-up sit and goes are found via the ‘Sit & Go’ tab in the lobby – again you will need to sort the large list of games that is produced. The tables themselves are clear and quick to run, note taking is very easy and the interface intuitive and clean.

This is complimented by a huge $1000 monthly reload bonus – this clears as you collect ‘My Player Points’ at the tables. In addition there are freerolls such as the $400,000 Caribbean Poker Classic give-away and leader-board prizes on offer too for regular players.
