RedKings Poker Details

Site Traffic

Red Kings is part of the Ongame Network which is one of the largest networks in the poker industry. Although the site doesn’t allow US players the strong European client base makes it the fifth largest network overall and the second largest European specific network.

Action is fairly steady throughout the day with 24 hour cash game peaks reaching and average of 5700.
7 day averages tip the scales at 2750 players.

Overall site figures average around 14000 active players.

Types of Games Offered

Cash game players will find their needs are adequately accommodated at Red Kings. The popularity of Hold’em and Omaha in Europe means that all variants of these games are offered and the action is well stocked at all levels.

The site also spreads 7 Card Stud (+ hi/lo) and 5 Card Draw but fails to provide any mixed game options. Whilst the majority of players are content to mix it up at the Hold’em tables the lack of mixed games is something that narrows scope of the site and possibly limits further player intake.

The smallest games start at 10 cent blinds which is lot a higher than many of the major sites, who offer games as low as 0.01/0.02. New players to the game will find themselves better placed to grind the low limit STTs before risking their limited bankrolls in the cash games.

STTs are well stocked and with limits ranging from $1 to $500 there is something to suit almost every bankroll. MTTs similarly are well spread with country specific tournaments such as the European Daily, The Australian Daily and the Chinese Daily allowing players to compete at convenient times.

Indeed, this is something many sites, especially ones with a large American demographic, fail to offer. The site's weekly major is the $100K Big Deal and runs every Sunday. The field is smaller than you will find on many of the larger sites and the competition significantly less strong.

One interesting feature of Red Kings is the ability to create your own private tournaments and STTs. The process is as simple as choosing your game, buy-in, prize structure and format. You can choose to password protect your games and it is a great feature for creating your own league or making your home game a virtual affair.

Softness of Games

Any site where a lot of American players aren’t present is always going to be softer than one that does. Don’t let this fact distract you though because there are a lot of very creative and super aggressive European players that frequent the mid and high strakes games at Red Kings.

The Ongame Network has been a leading provider since the early days of online poker and the excellent software has made it one of the most popular venues for the best Euro players in the world. These players haven’t made Red Kings their homes because they want to play tough competition.

Wherever there are strong players there is usually double the amount of weak players and many of the lower limit games are infested with loose opponents who misapply the typical Euro aggression. Fancy play syndrome against these players will see your bankroll in a world of pain but strong but sensible poker will definitely turn you a decent profit.
