I already saw a post on 888poker , here is the review of Titan poker


TITAN POKER:

Titan Poker offers a good player base with 2,500 plus active tables at most any given time.

With an aggressive advertising campaign to boot, Titan Poker is also one of the fastest growing poker sites.

PLUS POINTS:

Great Software
High Bonus offers at Titan Poker make it a tempting place to deposit.
There are really loose ring games at Titan Poker, especially at the medium limits.
Great jackpot sit and go tournaments
Tables can be put in mini view for multi-tabling
Titan Poker has great volume so there are always players to fill spots in games.
They boast some of the best security features of any online poker software

MINUS POINTS:
No US players allowed
Slower game pace
Sit and Go tournament traffic can suffer despite the great Titan Poker jackpot sit and gos.

If you're looking for a range of tournaments you'll find plenty at Titan Poker. They offer new player free rolls, VIP Points tournaments (you buy in using your VIP Points), as well as large guaranteed-purse events such as the Friday $60K Guarantee for a $100+$9 entry fee. Sit and Go players can take a shot at winning $50,000 or more in the Fort Knox jackpot SNG tournaments. This is a progressive Jackpot tourney meaning that the minimum prize is 50K and it only grows over time. They also offer the Rio and Maui jackpot SNG's with 25K and 15K progressive jackpots respectively. The buy ins for these SNG's start at just $5+$1.



Game selection here is not as robust as some sites but the basics are offered including:
Texas Hold'Em
Omaha (high and high-low)
5 Card Stud
7 Card Stud

Betfred Poker

The site was started by the Betfred Company which is one of England's oldest and most successful bookmakers. Betfred currently operates over seven hundred betting shops in the United Kingdom and they tout themselves as the king of the bonus!

The site offers excellent support, great promotions and most importantly very consistent player traffic with good action.


PLUS POINTS:

Huge brand in Betfred Poker means you know you will be playing at a reputable site with premier bonuses
Solid sign up bonus of 100%
Fast and pain free registration for real money
Tons of deposit and withdrawal options
Betfred.com processes your withdrawals very quickly
The tables at Betfred Poker are always very full
There is a low minimum deposit


MINUS POINTS:

Does not accept US players
Occasional network timeout problems in tournaments (rare)
Betfred Poker feels more like a poker room attached to a flagship casino rather than a standalone pokerroom


Although the variety is nothing special, here are the games you will find at Betfred Poker:
Texas hold'em (limit, no limit and pot limit)
Omaha (Omaha high & Omaha high low in both fixed & pot limit formats)
Seven card stud
Five card stud

Bovada Poker

A new site on the block, Bovada Poker is a new venture from the Morris Mohawk Gaming (MMGG) Group. Its launch was greeted with considerable fanfare and some concern as previously MMGG was the US licensee for the Bodog brand. With that licensing agreement now ended, MMGG has opened Bovada and has thrown open its doors to both US and European players.
While many new poker sites suffer with traffic Bovada has sidestepped this particular pitfall by importing the players it previously managed under the Bodog brand. The port was completely seamless which certainly hints at good things from this new company.
Sporting a unique .lv domain which further emphasizes the Las Vegas feel that its software is built around, Bovada seems to be a new rising star in the online poker world. It is licensed by the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake, Canada and offers a full betting experience that includes sportsbook, casino and horse racing betting.



PLUS POINTS :

Accepts US players.
Good welcome bonus and good freerolls.
Anonymous tables protect weaker players.
Unique deposit options for US players.
Interesting and fun software features.

MINUS POINTS:

Limited player traffic
Few satellites to big live events
Limited promotions


There is reasonable game selection with the site offering the main poker variants including:
Texas hold'em (limit, no limit and pot limit)
Omaha (Omaha high & Omaha high low,both fixed and pot limit)
Seven card stud
Seven card stud high low

Sky Poker

IT IS A uk poker site.
Taking "The sky is the limit" mantra to another level, Sky Poker really got creative and launched a poker site that boasts a few very unique features. Backed by British owned Sky Broadcasting, this poker site is the result of a very clever mix of old-school television marketing and new-school Internet technology. If you've ever wanted to be a television Star (well, kinda) then this may be the closest you'll ever get. You see, from time to time Sky Broadcasting will televise live coverage of select online games from the Sky Poker Download. So if you happen to playing and see your table on television bust out the DVR so you can show all of your pals later.


PLUS POINTS:

Live daily televised poker tournaments on Sky Satellite channel
The assurance of playing at a brand as secure and reputable as SkyPoker
Multi language and multi-currency, perfect for all international players.
Lots of guaranteed tourneys and for ring games you can play for micro-stakes
Sky poker has a flash-based, no download poker client


MINUS POINTS:

Does not accept poker players from the USA
Little variety of poker games at Sky Poker
Traffic seems low during non-peak hours



Sky Poker spreads the following games:
Texas Hold'Em
Omaha (high and high-low
