PokerRoom's software has its pros and cons. It allows players to play
without downloading their software. You can play a light version of it,
which is pretty similar to the one offered by the download software. The
only bad thing is that it is a little slow and laggy at times. When testing
the download version, we found that if you tried to sit in on table without
enough money, it would kick you right out without telling you why. Players
can even play poker for play and real money on their mobile phone.
Each table offers the same character graphics for each seat. Not surprising,
the last seat taken is usually the one with the granny graphic (see screenshots
below). The game table offers a chance for players on the table to vote
off a player from the table. Right clicking on a player will allow you
to easily mark the players with a little symbol next to their name.
