Sorry, chaps, no Yanks allowed! That’s the rule over at Ladsbroke Poker, which is a shame for the American players, but the Europeans who make this site the leading poker room on that side of the world more than make up for any missing action. The sixth highest traffic site with over a thousand real money ring game players during peak hours, Ladsbroke is also a stylish place, with hip (although very simple) graphics and player profiles that make the whole site fun.

The steady stream of players included all skill levels; thankfully most of them seem pretty inexperienced, which is great news for those with a few hands in them. All the standard games are here (Hold’em, Omaha, Seven Card Stud) and Five card stud as well. One of the nicer features is the player-cap choice among tables. If you feel like a normal ten-handed game of Texas Hold’em, you can play it, but if you want short handed action (as short handed as two players!) you can do that, too.

Customer support is out of this world, and the innovations Ladsbroke offers make this a winning site, like tournament play where you win tokens that allow you to progress when you want to, instead of on the event timetable. Nice!
