CD Poker Review
Overview
CD Poker is one of the main poker rooms on the iPoker network, which has games running at all times. CD Poker offers many online poker promotions, including the jackpot sit and go’s where you can win more than $50,000 by winning 6 sit and go tournaments in a row. The competition at CD Poker is pretty standard, but there are still enough fish for a solid player to make some good cash.
Initial Deposit Bonus
CD Poker offers a 150% matching bonus up to $500 on your first deposit, with the use of CD Poker coupon code ‘THECDBONUS‘. To release your bonus you must earn CD Points by playing in CD Poker tournaments and ring games. In ring games you earn ¼ of a point for rakes under $0.25, 1 point for rakes between $0.25 and $0.50, 2 points for rakes $0.75 – $1, 6 points for rakes $1.75 – $2 and so on up to a maximum of 10 points for a hand that rakes over $2.76. For every $1 paid in tournament fees you earn 15 CD Points. Every 10 CD Points you earn are worth approximately $0.08 of your bonus. The bonus is then released in increments of $10 every time 1200 CD Points is earned. All CD poker bonuses expire after 30 days, so make sure you play through as much of it as you can, because the remaining amount will be forfeit.

Cash Games
CD Poker has very good traffic in their hold’em cash games. There are micro limit games from $0.01/$0.02 right up to the high limits of $100/$200.

All the other games that CD Poker offers have a few tables running scattered between them, but hold’em is by far the game of choice at CD Poker.

Software & Graphics
The lobby at CD Poker is very easy to navigate. There is a side menu, with cash table, sit & go, tournament, play money and casino games options, which allows you to find what you want fast.
The action at CD Poker can be a little bit slow because the cards take a lot longer than other sites to be dealt. This could increase the excitement for some, but most players want to play as many hands as the can, as fast as they can.
The tables at CD Poker are not resizable, but instead have two size options. There is the normal option, which takes up a good portion of the screen, with avatars and a few extra buttons. Then there is the small option, which shrinks the table to about a quarter of the screen, taking away the avatars.
CD Poker also offers a section for casino games, with many to choose from including, roulette, blackjack, slots and video poker.
Competition
The cash game competition is quite good at CD Poker, with per flop percentages only around 25%, which mean there are some tighter players. In the tournaments the players are weaker though, as CD Poker offers mostly low buy-in tournaments there are many fish waiting to be taken advantage of.
Support
CD Poker has 24-hour phone support, live chat and email support, which makes CD Poker’s support team one of the best in the industry. If you are having trouble with deposits or withdrawals, or have just not played in a while, CD Pokers support team will likely contact you to offer you special offers and see how they can help get you playing more.
