Noble Poker is one of the less known Poker sites currently operating, however despite it’s lower advertising budget, Noble Poker impressed me during my visit. With top operations in place, such as Full Tilt, the competition for your online dollars is stiff, so here’s my take on how Noble Poker stacks up against the rest of the industry.
Software : Noble Poker's software was developed by Playtech. The software features a range of animated avatars. The software has a fullscreen feature that automatically fills your screen. The software really is top-notch. Flop percentages displayed in lobby. The lobby is easily navigated. Simply put if not the best online, NoblePoker's software is very close. The software recently went through an extensive rework. Basically the software appears to have been trimmed down. The 3D view now appears history along with a major rework of the cashier section.
Games : The room still deals the same games, Holdem and Omaha (Omaha 8oB as well). There are fixed, pot and no limit holdem tables, Omaha does not have the no limit betting option. They don't deal Stud, or any of the other more exotic games, so there won't be any Noble Poker HORSE tournaments any time soon.
The tables come in 2 sizes, short tables of 6, and long tables of 10. I prefer ten man long tables. Some rooms use 9 man tables, like Absolute. While you can still play basically the same hands, the blinds are cranked up a notch because they come around just a little bit faster. Over the course of hours this does add up. So, Noble gives the patient players a bit of a break with the traditional ten-player tables.
Traffic : Noble Poker is a very small room still. This is really the only area where they are lacking. Being a relative newcomer it is just a matter of time before the player base grows.
Tournaments : Noble's tournaments are top notch They have very good guarantees with many varied buy-ins. Not a lot of traffic but Noble is all about potential right now anyway. Buyins range from freeroll to 300 buy in.
Deposit/Withdrawl : Minimum Deposit/Withdrawal $20. Neteller, InstaCash, EcoCard, InstaDebit, UseMyBank, Firepay, 900Pay, Citadel, Moneybookers, Bank Draft, Wire Transfer, Visa, Mastercard, My Citadel, EwalletXpress, Click2Pay, Solo & Switch. They cover the fees associated with the deposit options. They don't get a 10 because they are slow on their withdrawals. 5 days to hit Neteller inexcuseable in my opinion. You do get your money they are just slow. Checks take about 2 weeks.
Support : Noble Poker has Live chat and email support.
