Titan Poker Overview
Titan Poker is one of the most important poker rooms on the iPoker network, developed by Playtech, it is fairly new, launched in 2005. The network received a tough blow when US policies towards online gaming changed in 2006. This obviously affected their traffic. However, they are quickly regaining a strong player base by offering nice promotions, tournaments and freerolls to attract new customers. Software is stable and has few disconnection issues. The site supports English, Spanish, German, Italian and French.
Although their traffic has dropped due to the ban on US customers, decent games can be still found. Titan Poker is focused on providing great low limit games. It is a great site if you are new to poker and want to learn how to play. On the other hand, if you enjoy playing short handed, this site is not for you.Titan Poker offers large tournaments, monster prize pools and larger than average deposit bonus. The site’s layout is attractive; they provide good graphics and reliable software. Their support is average and they are constantly putting out new promotions. It is a site worth checking out.
Since Titan Poker is licensed by the Kahnawakee Gaming Commission they have certain standards to which look up to. There is a standard 5% rake which is collected in increments up to $3. However, there are various tables with a lower max rake. There is a $1 max rake on limit tables up to $1/$2 and 4-5 player tables have a max rake of $2 which includes any Hold'em table. Titan Poker has a “no-flop, no-drop” policy which means there is no rake for hands that do not reach the flop.
Even though the iPoker network does not allow U.S. players, poker rooms such as Nuts Poker, CD Poker and VC Poker are recuperating fast due to a high influx of European players.

They can be located on medium traffic, compared to other sites. If you want to play low-limit poker this is where to. You will find an immense amount of players at the $0.02/$0.04 all the way up to $1/$2 limits. And players for higher stakes are important as well.
