rooms on the Cake Network, Card
Spike only provides Texas Holdem,
Omaha, and Omaha Hi Lo with
stakes spreading from ultra
micro limits to moderately high
limits ($0.01/$0.02- $50/$100_.

of the few which provide games
for players from the US, you
will find the number of active
tables on site to be slightly
increased in comparison to other
poker sites of this size. Ring
games are played in Fixed Limit,
Pot Limit and of course No Limit
with full and shorthanded tables
available. Card Spike takes
a 5% rake from each pot with
a cap fixed at $3 per hand.
Hands must qualify as a raked
hand or no rake will be collected.

a tournament schedule for every
kind of player starting with
freerolls for beginners or new
