Titan Poker has
moderate game variety with Texas Holdem and Omaha Hi-Lo and High, which are
available in both limit, pot-limit and Texas Holdem in no-limit as well. Table
stakes are from $0.5/$1 to $20/$40 in the fixed games, with $0.25/$0.50 up to
$5/$10 in pot-limit and no-limit versions. (The fixed limit Omaha games have a
bit lower maximum limits) There are both heads-up, sit-and-go and fixed schedule
multi-table tournaments.
Limits and Rake
Range Rake
The rake at Titan Poker is actually better than the average online. The general
policy is the standard 5% rake taken in increments up to $3. But on several
types of tables there are lower max rakes. On fixed limit tables up to $1/$2
there is a $1 max rake.
More
importantly all tables with 2-3 players have a max rake of $1 and tables with
4-5 players have a $2 max rake – which also includes no-limit and pot-limit
short handed games! There is a "no flop - no drop" policy for hands
not reaching the flop.

Traffic Rating 6
Titan Poker is a good new poker
room, with limited traffic today – but they has come to stay!
Titan Poker and the iPoker network only have about 50-100 ring game
players at peak hours in November 2004. The traffic at the tournaments
is mostly consisting of free roll players, where real money traffic
can reach somewhere around 30-50 players at peak hours in November
2004.
Promotions Rating
7
Sign-up bonus
Standard promotion is 25% deposit match up to $100
bonus (which you get for a $400 deposit). The requirements to have the
bonus released are a bit harsh with 10 raked hands per bonus dollar.
Also, currently you have to email support to get the bonus. There is
no published time limit to reach the required hands and it is not
clear if a partial bonus is given out.
Playability
Rating 7
Titan Poker
has been designed with one mission in mind. A great place to play with
a suite of gaming products to choose from all under one roof, 'The
Best Games in Town'. Their goal is to create the biggest online gaming
community, a place where you feel comfortable to play, and where you
can make and meet new friends, who also have online gaming interests
too. The software is working well and can be resized into two sizes to
allow desktop space to be used for other purposes. The software seems
to be Java and the download is rather big almost 16 megabytes so if
you have a slow connection to the Internet you will need some
patience.
Platforms: MAC and PC.
HW requirements:
128 megabytes of memory (RAM), 256 MB is better
A Pentium/AMD class processor
Processor speed must be at least 500 Megahertz

dial-up modem speed of at least 52 Bps- cable or broad band is better
