Available Poker Formats and Limits

Micro and low limits action at the tables are up to $50 NL Hold’em is exceptional, there are dozens of tables on micro and lower limits. Even if you do not play in the most popular times, there are plenty of options. That is fantastic news for multi-tables who are grinding for a Rakeback, and those who prefer to select the best possible seats against fish.

The situation in PL Omaha is pretty decent, though the traffic cannot compare with Hold’Em options. Middle limits are your preferred games if your range is from $50 to $200. You can pick from 10 to 15 NL Hold’Em tables during peak hours and at least 3 to 4 PL Omaha tables. That is decent, and you could blend different blind levels to get enough action.

High limits games at PokerKing include limits of $600 and above, for NL Hold’Em and PL Omaha. There are even a few tables with ceilings up to $5,0000 which is rare indeed.
