Summary
OnlyPoker is a new internet poker room which is part of the Cake Poker network and has already gained lots of players. They offer lots of satellites to big live events, as well as their big guaranteed weekly tourneys, as well as a great rewards program where players collect gold coins and cards with the chace to win $52,000. OnlyPoker is a new room but so far we are impressed and they are only going to grow!

Software
OnlyPoker use the Cake networks software, therefore it doesnt run as smoothly as players would like. Sometimes there are quick pauses before cards are dealt, and also at the showdown. However, players have full characters as their avatars giving to a more realistic feel. The tables can be re-sized which is good, although players can only multi-table up to five at a time.

Game Variety
OnlyPoker lack a variety of games, however they only launched in early 2009 so are still growing and Im sure lots of other variations will be added through time. The most popular game with the OnlyPoker player's is No-Limit Texas Holdem however they also offer Omaha Hi, and Omaha Hi-Lo. At the time of writing this there is a 7-Card Stud tab in the game lobby; however there are never any tables displayed which is confusing for players, maybe we will see open tables for 7-Card Stud soon.

Ring Game Traffic
Despite being a new poker room you can find around 4,000 cash game players at peak hours, and most of these are fish! The Cake network is very popular in the online poker world for having the easiest players and you can find plenty of poor players up to the $2/$4 stakes. If you are a good low-stakes player then OnlyPoker will be a dream for you, with most players paying you off on big hands no matter what they hold.

Tournaments
OnlyPoker have some great tournaments on offer, especially qualifiers for big live poker events. Players can qualify to live events from as little as $1 to have a chance of winning hundreds of thousands. They run a Daily $10k guaranteed tournament which has a $50 buy-in and is very popular, mainly due to the poor quality of the players, meaning it is pretty easy to cash and run deep.

Soft Competition
As we have stated before, you wont find any easier competition for online poker than a room on the Cake Poker network, and especially OnlyPoker. Since it is newly opened, OnlyPoker only attract beginner players, therefore if you are a good online player, you will be cleaning up the cash games at OnlyPoker. Like every poker room the higher the stakes however, but even games up to $2/$4 stakes in NLHE are very loose. There are also a lot of bonus hunters attracted to OnlyPoker due to the huge 110% up to $600 bonus. In general, if you cant win at OnlyPoker, you will not win anywhere!

Customer Support
The OnlyPoker is very good and offer a few options such as e-mail, telephone and e-mail support. E-mail support is best if your problem is more complex, however response times are pretty good and the staff seem very helpful and friendly.
