Ultimate Bet High Stakes Review

Ultimatebet.com by far has the best high stakes poker on the internet.  The stakes are quite large and it is easy to find full games.  The high stake tables aren’t ghost towns like some other places that claim to have big games.

NL Texas Holdem High Stakes - Ultimatebet

The high stakes NL Texas Holdem tables tend to be pretty full.  There are generally 3 full tables at all times at the $50/100 stakes.  This may not seem like a lot but it is for high stakes online.  Players tend to enter with $10,000 or less.  The tables are both ring (10 man) tables and 6 man tables.  John Travolta plays the $50/100 stakes a lot and you can usually see him under the screen name “John Travolta.”  Real original John.  Annie Duke, Antonio Esfandiari, and Phil Helmuth also play there.

Limit Holdem High Stakes Poker - UltimateBet

The high stakes Limit games are full as well.  The biggest blinds are the $150/300 and have 6 man, 10 man, and heads up tables.  The heads up tables are very active.  Players will usually buy in with $30,000 at the $150/300.  The Limit tables with $100/200 blinds are more active with players bringing $20,000 to the table on average.

Full Tilt High Stakes Review

FullTiltpoker.com has a very popular high stakes poker room.  There are a lot of professionals that play nightly such as Phil Ivey, Mike Matusou, John Juanda, and Layne Flack.  This is just to name a few.  These pros draw a lot of action to the high stakes tables and of course most of the internet sharks play here as well so watch out, they are the best in the world.

NL Holdem High Stakes - FullTilt Poker

The $50/100 NL games usually are not full unless Phil Ivey is playing.  Generally there are a bunch of $25/50 NL cash games going on.  Most players enter with $10,000 in cash at the $50/100 NL games and $5,000 for the $25/50 NL tables.  The $300/600 games are relatively new so not a lot of people play those stakes.  There is actually a $500/1000 NL cap table.

Limit Holdem High Stakes - FullTilt Poker

The Limit high stakes games are not as popular.  It is hard to get players to play at the $1000/2000 tables because you need such a big bank roll.
