Asteria Poker Overview
Asteria Poker is a poker room on the Entraction Network. The site offers a sportsbook and casino and shares its player base and software with skins of the Entraction Network such as Paradise Poker, Fortune Poker, CanadaPoker.com, Ahead Poker and BetClick.com. Nowadays this poker site does not accept U.S. players but the traffic has increased significantly. According to the mission statement of Asteria Poker, the creation of an environment that all the players “can totally trust” is a priority of the site.
Even though the Entraction Network does not allow U.S. players, poker rooms such as Asteria Poker, 66 Poker and Bamba Poker are recuperating fast due to a high influx of European players.
Asteria Poker Game Features
This poker site has good game selection; Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo, Five Card Draw and Deuce to Seven Triple Draw are available. The stakes for the fixed limit games range from €0.02/€0.04 up to €5/€10/. The tables are available in the full, shorthanded and heads-up formats. The tournament structure is extraordinary, single table tournaments, multi-table tournaments, freerolls, heads-up, Sit-and-go’s, freezeouts, turbo freezeouts, shorthanded freezeouts, rebuy and turbo rebuy tournaments are available. In the rebuy tournaments if the player doesn’t have any chips left they have to make a rebuy within 30 seconds or they will be eliminated from the tournament. Many rebuy tournaments allow you to make an add-on when the rebuy period ends.
Asteria Poker Software Features
Downloading and setting up the Asteria Poker software is quick and simple. The lobby is easy to navigate and well-organized, listing the different game types and limits on separate tabs. The tables supply vital information such as average pot size, hands per hour and flop percentage; this information is listed next to each table and you can search it by any criteria.
This software is decently suited for multi-table play, supporting play at up to four tables at a time. Some customizable options fully optimize the game play, for instance, the ability to turn off the sounds and animations is useful because the software tends to be a bit resource intensive, which slows the game pace.
The table graphics and colors provide a pleasant environment and feel; however, the graphics can be a little distracting, even when there are no pictures or avatars to represent the players. You can take notes on your opponents but this feature has a problem: you need to place the mouse pointer over the name of the player in order to see the notes you took on that particular person. There’s no buddy list but the software does include a “find a friend” feature. The hand histories work well during game play and are relatively easy to use.
