GGPoker really tries to stand out (successfully) with special features like all-in insurance, option to run it 3 times, safe tournament staking, all-in or fold cash games with jackpot and PokerCraft (you can analyze your game history, sort of like PT4). They also give 35% weekly rakeback, but I have to mention that the cash game rake is higher than the industry average. Tournament rake is 5%, but there are many micros with no rake and satellites also don't have rake.

Overall, I really like what they are doing and this would be one of my main poker rooms if not for one major flaw - connection problems. First time I tried them about 2 months ago and I stopped playing there because I got disconnected multiple times. I tried them one more time 2 days ago, because maybe they had solved their connection issues and I really like the poker room, but within 30 hands I got disconnected 2 times :mad:. It was 100% their server fault and not mine, because I was playing other poker room at the same time with no problems. There's also no disconnect protection.

I really hope they fix this major flaw, but until they do, no matter how good the features are, it's just not safe to play there. Nothing more tilting than having a good hand and losing the pot because of poker room server issues.

Has anyone else tried this poker room?
