Before you get started playing be sure to check out the Bovada Poker review, as this is just a brief article about the highlights.

Bovada Poker Room

The poker room at Bovada has Texas Holdem, Omaha and 7 card stud. Both Omaha and 7 card stud are offered High and High low split. Of course Texas Holdem is the most popular game, and a 7 card stud game can be hard to find during non-peek hours. You will also find SNGs and lots of tournaments, most with small buy-ins.

The poker tables at Bovada are anonymous. This is a continuance of bodogs theory of banning poker software such as HUDs, and making the game recreational. Novice players have the advantage of hiding their stats from the sharks, while others warn of security concerns from playing anonymous players. It is of course up to the individual to decide if they like this or not.
