Poker Road Review

Poker Road

RELATED ARTICLES

Movies and TV dramas have made their attempts at depicting what really goes on with poker players behind the scenes and on the road. And so far most of them have failed miserably in delivering anything that’s even close to being realistic about the subject (anyone ever watch the old ESPN series “Tilt”?). That is why it’s up to the World Wide Web to dish out a little truthfulness about the players and show that their lives are not constantly being threatened and filled with scandal. PokerRoad.com is one such site that is attempting to accomplish this feat.



Overview

With so many sites focusing on strategy and news, PokerRoad.com takes a different approach and aims more at finding out what professional poker players do in their off time – especially on the road. The way the site presents this info is mainly through the usage of video clips and the Poker Road Radio show. There is also a pretty extensive archive of player blogs as well.

Look
Much of the site puts the emphasis on the video screens as they are in the middle of a lot of pages. For text-based pages like the blogs, the panels are well separated allowing for easy reading. The menu bar on the home page is a nice touch too, although its dropdown titles are a little sketchy.

Content
Immediately upon landing at Poker Road, users should be tipped off by the video clip screens that this site relies heavily on multimedia. But there are also plenty of player blogs letting you in on insider information such as the wonders Master Cleanse does for Joe Sebok’s bowels or how his stepfather Barry Greenstein misses his girlfriend not being with him on long road trips. There is also a little strategy on the site too courtesy of Greenstein.

Unique pros / cons
True to form, PokerRoad.com does a good job of giving visitors a great look at the life and emotions that a professional poker player experiences. It also presents a decent range of professionals too instead of just focusing on the site founders Sebok and Greenstein.

However, one of the dropdown titles from the menu bar, “Destination Unknown”, accurately describes this navigation system. You really don’t know where you’re going sometimes with titles like “PokerRoad Redeux” and “15 Outs….One Time!”.

Bottom Line
Despite navigation issues, this site is an excellent resource for those who are interested in more than just what goes on at the table.

Rakeback and Free Bankrolls

PTP offers several rakeback and free bankroll offers for our viewers. If you're not familiar with rakeback, read our guide to online poker rakeback. To learn how much you could be earning with rakeback, check out our rakeback calculator. If you're ready to get started, our most popular rakeback offers are Full Tilt Rake Back, Cake Poker Rake Back and Carbon Poker RakeBack.

Free and no deposit bankrolls (also called free poker money) are essentially promotional deals we've arranged with rooms where they give you a small amount of money (usually $10-$150) to try out their room. These offers are a great way to get your feet wet at a room without going through the hassle of depositing, and provide players nervous about depositing at an online gambling site with a risk-free way to play poker, bingo, and other games online.
