Great name, shame about the site. Cool Hand Poker markets itself as a site for beginners, offering a safe environment for fun play, but it is simply patronizing and irrelevant.

Cool Hand Poker's Mantra

The whole point of Cool Hand Poker is to provide a 'safe' training pool for new players

The problem with Cool Hand poker is that it doesn't work as a concept. Of course, new players need to be encouraged and given environments in which to learn, but they don't need a whole site turned over to them. By turning away the pros and more experienced players, the beginners don't have anyone to learn from apart from their just as inexperienced fellow. Spot the flaw?

Games on Offer: 5/10

This parameter grades the ring games available in the poker room..

If it wants to be a site poker room dedicated to learning, it really should offer more games than the usual Hold'em, Omaha and Stud. And it goes without saying that you wont find any high stakes games here.

Tournaments: 1/10

This parameter grades the number and action of the tournaments offered by the poker room..

There are of course tournaments on Cool Hand, but almost exclusively in Hold'em and for relatively modest prize funds. Cool Hand Poker offers a daily $500 freeroll, open to all, and weekly $2100 freerolls for those playing at least one raked hand every day. Note that some freerolls are restricted to microgaming players only when they play poker online.

Traffic: 1/10

This evaluates the number of real money players associated with the room..

Traffic is very low, because no one but the complete newbies would waste their time there, and also because Cool Hand only runs three tables at a time.

Fish Factor: 1/10

This parameter grades the poker room according to the ratio of fishes and sharks..

Without wanting to state the obvious, you are not going to find any sharks here, because frankly it's not worth their while. And where is the fun if there is no competition?

$$$ Rewards: 4/10

Here, we look at the number of rewards available in the room. The better the rewards for players, the more points we give..

The 100% sign-up bonus, up to $350, is not as bad as it sounds, because although you receive it in increments, the rake only needs to be 25 cents to qualify the hand as a raked hand. As a result, you are likely to see all your bonus, where on other sites it is pretty unlilkely. Though there are no other promos, there are some rather endearing competitions on offer, where you can win an mp3 and suchlike.

This parameter grades the versatility and distinct features of the poker software used by the room. .

Play is powered by Microgaming, and the site is easily navigated. The graphics are actually really good, with a cool retro theme and well designed tables.

Support: 4/10

Here, we evaluate the reliability, speed and quality of the support system present in the room..

It is good to see live chat on the site, especially considering the focus on beginners, and another interesting touch is their approach to responsible gaming, where the site will freeze your account if you feel that you need a cooling-off period.
