The Online Poker Player Resource

Lobby

Everest Poker software contains all the great functionality that many of the other online poker rooms do; what makes them different lies in the look and feel of the software. The lobby uses tabs to filter out the different games available. However, unlike many other sites that use the tab system, Everest Poker goes a step further and allows players to filter out specific ring game blinds or tournament buy-ins, making it extremely easy to navigate and revisit specific tables. To add further convenience, there is also a button called “Take any open seat,” which searches for open seats in the ring games based on the parameters a player has set. What is also in the lobby area is an option to view specific game history. Those of you who wish to utilize this better have a pen and paper handy to write down which game you will wish to review later on. The Lobby area is comprehensive containing data on view flop percentages, average hand per hour played, and average pot for the ring games.

The game play interface has its ups and downs. Graphically, there are multiple avatars players can choose from and they are fun to look at. The table is nice looking but, unlike the traditional oval table you see in other sites, Everest Poker is more circular. Because of this, the spacing is tight and the opponents on the left and right edges are off the screen. Some players may find the cluttered feeling a bit annoying. There is a great short easy access hand history and player statistic that is easily viewed during game play. A big minus for us at GR poker is that the site does not support note taking on opponents. A basic function all sites should include we feel.
