Hollywood Poker boasts a celebrity line up making competition fairly loose due to the number of players looking to play with one of Hollywood's rich and famous. These are located of course at the micro and low limit tables. The mid to high stakes will bring some competitiveness and skilled players; you may find the odd passive player but in general mid stakes carries a much more controlled game. This is not to say that better then average players can’t make a profit at these limits.
Offering very low buyins to some costing a few hundred, Hollywood Poker players can expect all kinds of compactors from the beginner to the highly skilled in their tournaments. They are quick, fast and well equipped with every extra feature you could think of to make them that much more exciting.
Hollywood poker supplies players with very innovative tournaments and packages to live events like no other. They have made it a point to stand out above the crowd and have done so by hosting weekly bounty tournaments. These are not your average game, these are filled with celebrities waiting for you to bust them out, and with over $200,000 paid out in bounties already this year the celebs are ripe for picking. This is on top of seats to some of the world's greatest games such as WPT and WSOP, plus a Canadian Poker Night. With peak hours reaching in excess of 30,000 tournament players, Hollywood is growing steady on a daily basis. Sit ' N ' Go's are offered at every level with wait times down to a minimal due to traffic volume.
With 6,000 real money players online, Hollywood Poker is generally a Texas Hold em poker room. They do support other variations such as Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven Card Stud, Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo and Five Card Draw, however off peak hours do not sustain the traffic to make these as well visited as Holdem. Players will note that Hollywood's rake is the industry standard of 5% and capped at $3. They do not support the "no flop, no drop" rule, so yes rake is taken from each pot. Hollywood also gives away jackpots for particular hands like "Quad Aces" where you will receive double the payout. (Visit Hollywood Poker)
