Titan Poker Review

Introduction

Titan Poker is the biggest site on the booming iPoker network. It really does live up to its name sake, offering a series of titanic promotions. The 100% up to $600 sign-up bonus is just the tip of the iceberg, with a $50,000 Summer Jackpot rake race, $140k Omaha rake race and bad beat bonus also running. If that isn’t enough, there’s a $20k new depositors freeroll (the perfect bankroll builder), $50 referral program and ‘top hand of the day’ promotion. By accruing Titan points (via rake accumulation), you receive special cash bonuses and internet poker tournament tokens.

Traffic

You can expect up to 30,000 players online at Titan Poker during peak periods – Europe’s biggest poker room. Competition is pretty soft at Titan – there’s a bevy of weak, passive players, there just to complete the sign-up bonuses. They are often playing with scared money, and will fold to a hint of aggression. The iPoker network also incorporates a lot of Sportsbook sites, including William Hill, so you get a lot of loose gamblers looking to spunk off their chips.

Games Variety

There’s a range of low and mid stakes action across several variants – Texas Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha and 7-Card Stud. Titan boasts a formidable range of tournaments, with freezeouts and re-buys from $1-$100 running round the clock. The $109 buy-in, $250k guaranteed is the crown jewel in Titan Poker tournaments, running every Sunday. For Sit n’Go fanatics, the ‘Jackpot SnG’s’ offer juicy cash prizes for finishing 1st or 2nd 6 times in a row. There are also plenty of opportunities to qualify for live events at Titan, with more satellites than NASA running to the WPT Marrakech and the Irish Winter Festival.

Software

Titan Poker utilises the very popular, functional, Playtech Software. The lobby is easy to navigate, with extensive filtering options and a handy ‘My Tournament Tab’, which allows you to keep track of the tourneys you’ve registered for. In game graphics are solid not spectacular, with smooth chip animations and 3D avatars. The instant hand re-player tool is very slick, and Titan is fully compatible with tracking software such as Pokertracker and Hold’em Manager. If you prove you’re a winning player, there’s even a chance to join ‘Team Titan’, and be sponsored to play in tournaments across the globe.

Tournaments

Juicy and attractive guaranteed tournaments run every half-an-hour at Titan.  In fact it has one of the best schedules of guaranteed tournaments in online poker. Their multi-table tournaments are soft and winnable, and their steps and satellite tournaments provide great promotions/packages to live events.

Steps Tournaments are becoming some of the most popular games in online poker, and Titan Poker offers them aplenty.  Just like PartyPoker and PokerStars Steps tournaments, Titan’s involve playing single-table tournaments (Sngs) where the top players progress through a series of ladders or “stages”. As you progress through the different Sngs, the prizes and rewards become larger, and at the end of the ladder is a big payday and live VIP package. All this can be won from a small buy-in. In total there are 5 Steps, these are fun, give you plenty of experience, and allow small stakes players to cash in on big prizes!
