PDC Poker

Home Of The Largest Badbeat Jackpot Ever Won Online At Over $1,000,000.00 !

I started playing at this room in June of 2005 and have watched them grow from their humble beginnings as poker.com. I play other rooms, but PDC Poker will always be where I enjoy playing poker the most. The software is like none that I’ve seen and they manage to get even better with every upgrade they do. A lot of that might be due to the fact that they listen to the players input on deciding what upgrades to do with the software.

PDC Poker Royalty Program
PDC’s Royalty program has one simple aim, and that is to reward you in your player wallet: the place where it counts.

Although the main focus is to reward the loyal players, there’s never anything wrong with throwing in a touch of excitement and fun to keep things interesting. To achieve this while rewarding players from the casual weekender to the fulltime pro, this program makes use of several tiers and a challenging rewards structure.

The five tiers; Diamonds, Spades, Hearts, Clubs and Royalty rank players according to how much they play and thus reward players accordingly.

Benifits: Players from each of the tiers are awarded cash back rebates at set point levels. For example if you’re on the Spades tier, and you have 1000 points, you receive $5 cash back, where as the Hearts tier will award you $10 when you have 1000 points.

Buy In for Tournaments: Players are also able to cash in their Royalty points in exchange for tournament entry.
Exclusive Tournaments: All players enjoy a freeroll or a decent guaranteed poker tournament. We understand this and as a result have given each of the 4 tiers exclusive Freerolls and Guaranteed tournaments. There are also better valued tournaments, live seat satellite coupons and deep stack tournaments for set tiers.

Badbeat Jackpots

Bad Beats happen to every player, but at PDC Poker you can win big after losing with a monster hand!

In any Texas Hold’em game, you will be looking to maximise your value when you pick up Quads. The chance to go all-in is automatic, but what happens if your opponent is holding higher Quads, or even a Straight Flush?

These are the worst of the Bad Beats, and usually result in thousands of chips being passed over the table. The Bad Beat Jackpot will ensure thousands of dollars in cash will be won, all for losing a hand.

On specially labelled ring game jackpot tables, PDC collects 50 cents from every pot which contributes to the Bad Beat Jackpot. As soon as a player has a monster hand cracked, the jackpot will be won, with every active player at the table receiving a portion of the prize money! The player with the losing hand will pick up the biggest percentage, so if you have Quad sevens or better using both hole cards, you should definitely hope to get beaten!

Features at PDC Poker
Poker Game Mini Mode : Allows you to put the poker game into “mini mode” such that it has a minimal interface and is still legible at small resolutions. This allows multi-tablers the ability to run more tables on the screen at the same time and still have them all visible. The user interface has been simplified when in mini-mode to allow for basic actions and the user can easily switch between normal and mini mode on an individual window basis. Further to this when the table is being used in mini mode, players can manually resize the window and use the mini mode interface in full screen.

Poker Game Grid Mode : This allows you to specify any grid combination with up to 5×5 games. It allows the poker game to be split out into a separate window and/or back into a grid window on an individual window basis.

Heads Up Sit’n'Go Rematch : PDC Poker offers the ability for players to rematch immediately after the end of the game.

Network Diagnostic Tool : This new tool is built into the client and offered to users when they get disconnected or are unable to connect. May provide help in identifying the problem the user is experiencing.

Expose One or Two Cards: Weather your laying down your hand to a big bet, or of no one called your bet, if you really want to keep your opponents on their toes, use PDC Poker’s ‘expose one card’ feature.

Some poker rooms allow you to show both your hole cards, but at PDC Poker we go one further and allow you to show either both your cards, or just one card.

Say you had top pair but a weak kicker and you couldn’t call a big bet you might show your high card to prove you weren’t on a complete bluff. Conversely you might show your low card, to appear as if you were on a complete bluff. Either way showing only 1 card generally leaves your opponent asking more questions for which you gave answers with the card that you did show.

Rabbit Hunt : When you have won a poker hand, sometimes players are left wondering if they should have stayed in the hand against you. If your at your home game or in a card club sometimes a player will ask to see what cards would’ve come if they hadn’t folded, this is called Rabbit Hunting.

While this is frowned upon in casino’s and tournaments, in most informal games it is allowed. At PDC Poker they put this power in the hands of the winner. So if you win a hand unopposed, you can choose to rabbit and see what cards would have come.

The only penalty is that you have to show the table what your hole cards were.

Deposit Options : PDC Poker is open to players from the U.S. and there are several deposit & withdrawal options that are easy to use, including checks by mail.
