Review

A secure, established online poker site and a household name in the UK, Ladbrokes (or Laddies) was established in 1886 with their online poker site being one of the first to go live in 2002.

Mostly known for betting and it’s sportsbook, Ladbrokes have chosen to offer poker through the iPoker Network, they share many similarities with the network but have their own players, separate games and many exclusive features and promotions which make them appear more like an independent network.

The Ladbrokes software is user friendly and stable with a few little added extras. You can play casino games, blackjack or roulette direct from your poker table, plus your Ladbrokes poker account will give you access to their other services such as casino, sportsbetting, financial betting, specials (bet on anything from elections to TV programs) and lottos.

At Ladbrokes you can hide your identity, and your playing style, with Anonymous Tables where only you will know where you’re sitting! Find anonymous tables, where all seated players will be given an anonymous alias, in the lobby under the ‘Anonymous’ button. These are becoming very popular as casual and pro players can sit side by side on an equal playing field (no data on your previous play is available so no-one has the advantage of HUD’s or a player database where your play can be analysed by sharks).

Cash Games

• Minimum Blinds: €0.01 / €0.02
• Maximum Blinds: €50 / €100
• Standard seats: 2, 6 or 9
• Options: Anonymous, standard, Turbo, Fastfold (Blaze). 
• Games: Texas Holdem, Omaha, 7 Card Stud

With plenty of tables available at the low to medium stakes levels, texas holdem, as usual, is the game of choice at Ladbrokes. Most tables are played in €’s but there are some £’s table as well.

There’s not much action at high stakes but I have seen tables running at €50 / €100 but usually at peak hours, I’ve just checked again to be sure and, at 6pm UK on a rainy Monday, there are no high stakes games running.

Speed Holdem is Ladbroke’s version of Fast Fold poker. A brand new way to play poker, you’ll be seated randomly before each hand therefore with each hand you will have new opponents – for even more excitement you can multi table. Quick fold at any time, in any position and get on with the next game. Find these games easily through the lobby on the left hand nav bar.
