   Summary   

  Cool Hand Poker is a relatively new site on the well established Microgaming Network. Cool hand poker offers the perfect site for beginners or those new to online poker and promotes itself as a site where there are no sharks or hustlers. For a new site it has already picked up a substantial player base and offers excellent promotions, particularly its unique deposit bonus which carries on even after your first deposit. They also run a bad beat jackpot on certain cash game tables which can accumulate quickly. 

  Although you will not find many high stakes tables, Cool hand poker offers a safe, reliable and good value for money site that is an excellent gateway for those just starting out on online poker, or those who enjoy casual online poker play. 

   Software   

     Microgaming has a solid reputation and the software is excellent.  The lobby is very simple yet functional and players can easily find what they are after using the tabs and menu filters. The tables are uncluttered and very easy to use and consequently there is no lag time or delays on the software.  Anyone who has played on Unibet Poker will be familiar with the software and layout of Cool Hand Poker. A unique feature is the choice between 3 different lobbies when the software opens. You can select either "quick play", "advanced view" or "tree view" and select whichever you feel most comfortable with.  Other features that are offered are Player statistics, player notes, hand histories, rabbit cam (where you can select to show the next card you would have recieved when the hand ends after 3 or 4 cards have been dealt on the table), Fold and Show (you have the option to show your folded hand) and a tournament reminder (with a sound notification when a tournament you are registered in is about to begin).

 

   Traffic   

   Being relatively new, the traffic is excellent. There are often queues on the bad beat cash game tables and the excellent tournaments and promotions the site runs ensures that you will have a competitive field in MTT's.  As it is a new room aimed at newer players, you will find that all traffic is orientated towards the No Limit and Fixed limit Hold em' tables, and with the exception of Omaha, you will not find alot of action on the other games.

 

   Tournaments & Promotions   

As you'd expect with a Poker room aimed at newer players, there are plenty of freerolls on offer each day to help players build a bankroll, with a weekly $20,000 devoted to freerolls.  They also offer guaranteed tournaments ranging from $1k to the $150k GTD which is held every Sunday. You will also find a daily $3 turbo tournament which is also a $5k Gtd and regular re-buy tournaments.

There are also some fun promotions on offer, particularly the leaderboard promotions and the bad beat jackpot which can reach over $200k. They also offer 16 MP3 players which are awarded each week. As well as this, you will also find the occassional satellite to live events.

   Rakeback, Bonus and Reload Offers   

   Although Cool Hand Poker do not offer rakeback, they do offer an excellent deposit bonus of $350. Whats unique about this bonus however is that it doesn't disappear after your first deposit, but continues. So for example you can deposit the minimum of $20 and will get $20 after 100 raked hands. If you deposit another $20 you can do this again until you have reached $350!. It is also very easy to work off, with the bonus being released in $10 increments after just 100 raked hands. It works out as roughly the equivalent to 50% rakeback. A raked hand is a hand where you are dealt cards and the pot is raked a minimum of $0.25c.

Pot and No Limit Cash games : Points are earned if you contribute to the pot and the hand was raked
