Founded as late as in 2009, PowerPoker is one of the most promising startups to the world of online poker. It is also endorsed by Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies, a poker professional who has been in the news and buzz since early 2008. And with him is a poker site that exceeds expectations.

The software is based on Cake Poker, a recognizable brand to many because of its interesting table style of photo realistic characters. Interestingly, PowerPoker takes an entirely new approach with a round table and a unique visual style which separates it from Cake and most of the other poker rooms on the internet.

All of the functionality is there, including an options menu that supports permanent auto muck, auto post blind and wait for big blind. You also get a color system where you set the difficulty and style of your opponents, a feature which is obviously bundled with notes. This and much more is included.

Apart from commodities like Texas Hold'em, Power Poker also provides Omaha Hold'em, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo. Variations of these include turbo games and custom table sizes like 8 player tables. PowerPoker is heavy on tournaments, sporting over $5 million in monthly guaranteed tourneys; a hefty number for a poker room of this size.
