Aced Poker

After opening in late August 2008, Aced Poker has taken the Merge Poker network and showed them exactly how to make a poker site. There has not been a poker site in the recent past have such a slick opening and a great few months without any problems. This is a great start for Aced.com and we know they start as they mean to go on.

The real reason Aced.com has come out of the blocks so fast is their great site and management. Their software offers slick game play and great player friendly promotions.

Player problems are well dealt with at Aced and it is clear that players come first. To contact support you send them a message via the website and they will reply directly to your e-mail in a timely manner.

The main Aced promotion is the "Outs" feature. This rewards players for completing tasks during a game of poker. The tasks include things such as playing 5,000 hands, winning an all-in bet and even winning a hand on the river in which you only have two outs.

Aced Poker Bonus

Bonus Code: ACED100 - 100% bonus to $500

One of the main advantages to playing on the Aced.com software is the enticing initial deposit bonus. They offer a 100% bonus up to $500. The bonus is paid out in $5 increments and you will have 60 days to earn it.

This Aced Bonus is also one of the easiest to clear on the Merge Network. For every 1250 points you earn, they pay out $5 of the bonus. Comp points are easy to earn and unless you are playing the lowest micro limits available, you should be able to clear the bonus in a reasonable amount of time.

Aced Software and Graphics

The Aced software is a league above the rest and is highly regarded throughout the poker industry. They take a simplistic approach but also add all the information and features needed to make the software player friendly. Aced is on the Merge Poker network with other sites like Carbon Poker.

Players need no introduction to the software and will find it extremely easy to use straight from the off. The lobby loads straight to the news page so players are always updated with the most recent news and happenings with the room. Aced players can then easily navigate throughout the lobby using the clear tabs. Then once into the correct menu, players can even customize what results they are shown using the filter option. For example, if a player only wants to see High Stakes No limit Poker with a maximum of 6 players, they can set this all through the filter and it will only display the tables which fit their specifications.

Presentation standards do not slip once you get into a game either. The Aced tables are easy on the eye and will keep players feeling comfortable even during a marathon session. There are tons of features for players to use such as the entertaining smileys and the ability to choose which seat you would like to sit in even after you have sat down.

Of course players can also choose their own individual avatar from either a selection available which are supplied by Aced or upload their own personal picture. You can also choose your own background for your username box so you stand out from the rest of the players.

Aced Game Variety

Aced.com offers a wide variety of games in both cash games and tournaments. Only Hold em has a large amount of traffic but you can also find a game of Omaha available throughout the day. Other variations of poker have much less traffic and you will struggle to find a game and when you do, it will only be on the lowest limit. If you primarily play Omaha or another type of poker you may wish to look elsewhere.

Aced offers the following game varieties:

• Hold’em
• Omaha
• Omaha Hi/Lo
• 7 Card Stud
• 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo
• Razz
• 5 Card Draw
• Triple Draw
• Badugi
• Mixed

Aced Multi Table Tournaments

Multi-table tournaments are the most popular type of poker and Aced.com offers a wide range of tournaments to suit everybodys needs. Whether you're a high roller or just a beginner they have a game for you, with buy-ins ranging from just 6 cents up to $550. Games often have a big overlay and are great value.

The biggest attraction at ACED is the weekly "Sunday 20K Guaranteed". The tournament is played each Sunday at 17.00 Merge Network time. Players can win their way into the tournament from just $2 via satellite or buy-in directly for $60. Also there are 2 rebuys available and 1 rebuy, in a bid to lower the overlay.

You can win a seat to live events such as the WSOP at Aced. Tournaments are always running and players can win their way to tournaments such as the Aussie Millions, WSOP, WPT and APPT from as little as $2.

You are also rewarded for your loyalty with $150,000 worth of freerolls to play each month if you have accumulated the necessary amount of comp points in the time allowed. The freerolls range from the Daily $1,000 to the Monthly $50,000.

Aced Ring Games

Play at the Aced cash games is that of a low standard. There are tons of fish at each limit and you will soon be able to spot them after a few hours play. There are also known regulars who you will come into contact with and making use of the note feature is a must at Aced Poker.

The only real problem with the ring games are the amount of players at high limits. You will struggle to find a game above $3/6 at most times throughout the day and when you do find a game above this level it is almost certain to be filled with sharks. Of course this is not a problem if you do not play levels this high and with the amount of traffic growing daily on the Merge Network, it may not be a problem for too much longer.

Another cool feature at Aced is the ability to create your own custom table. You can set your own table name, limit, variation of poker and even set a password for a private game with friends. This is a great option for players who wish to create a poker game for friends at work, or to even to play your friends Heads-up for bragging rights.
