PDC Poker is one of the many rooms on the new Merge Poker network, which averages about 320 cash game players online at a time. This is relatively small traffic compared to other poker rooms, but the network is still small and is growing steadily. Also, the fact that US players are allowed at the site is a good indicator that the traffic will continue to increase. You can usually find ring games up to the $5/$10 and even sometimes up to $50/$100. A fellow Merge network room, Aced Poker, recently signed Jamie Gold, so this is sure to bring in higher stake players to the entire network. PDC Poker does offer a variety of less popular poker variations including HORSE, razz, 5 card stud, 5 card draw, triple draw, 7 card stud and badugi. These tables often don’t have games running and when they do they are usually at the smaller stakes.
PDC Poker offers a lot of smaller buy-in tournaments on their tourney schedule. Most of the tournaments you will see have buy-ins below $20 and often these tournaments are rebuy or bounty tournaments. The rebuys or bounties are both very popular at PDC Poker, so if low-buy in tournaments of either of these variations is your cup of tea, PDC Poker is right for you. The sit and go tournaments at PDC usually have tournaments running up to $30 for regular tourneys and up to over $100 for heads up or double or nothing variations.
Software & Graphics
The Merge network software that PDC Poker runs is very solid with smooth game play and a lot of neat features. At some tables you can “deal it twice” and you are also given the option to “rabbit hunt” if you win the pot before the showdown. There is also a casino section attached to the software where you can try your luck at roulette, blackjack, video poker and more.
Competition
PDC Poker’s competition is still fairly soft relative to the larger online poker rooms such as Full Tilt Poker. The Merge network, which PDC Poker is on, is still pretty new and they are just moving away from their aggressive freeroll approach to attract players. This approach has brought a lot of fishy freeroll hunters to the poker network and these players are still around. The low limit games are very loose with very high pre-flop percentages, so if you play tight and bet your winning hands you should do well.
Support
PDC Poker offers both email support and live chat support. PDC is one of the only rooms on the Merge network that offers an instant response method, in this case live chat. The email support is also solid, with responses being quick and helpful.
Deposits & Withdrawals
Deposit and withdraw by Visa, Click2Pay, ECO, Neteller, Moneybookers, eWalletXpress, PIC-Club, Entropay, ClickandBuy, paysafecard and echeck. The minimum deposit is $10 for most options and the minimum withdrawal is $50.
