Summary:

Noble Poker is the internets fastest growing online poker room, they launched in late 2004 and have quickly built up a solid base of players and gained the respect of the online poker community. Noble Poker doesn't use BOTS or pay people to play, which a lot of new online poker rooms tend to do nowadays to always keep action going and tables full. Noble Poker and the iPoker network has been successful in quickly building a strong network, with the strategic backing from the world’s second largest casino software provider. Noble Poker’s software has an innovative and good interface, with both standard 2D view and 3D view (side view with avatars) and colorful graphics.

Software & Graphics: The software is probably the strongest point at noble besides the signup bonus. They offer a unique 3D View that is colorful and has sharp graphics, the players are all 3D and they have some cool animations. They also offer the option of having sound effects turned on, if you decide to turn the sound on you'll be hearing your opponents announce "call" "fold" "check" "raise" etc... This is a neat feature but can become annoying after a while, in 3D mode you are only allowed to play 1 table at a time which is a downfall :( You can play multiple tables if you switch to the over the top view.

Ring Game Traffic:

The ring game traffic is pretty low, on average they have about 300-400 ring game players online at peak hours.

Tournament Traffic:

The traffic at the sit & go's and tournaments is a bit higher then the ring game traffic, during peak hours there's upwards of 600 players online.

Game Variety:

Reviewer Noble Poker has moderate game variety with Texas Holdem and Omaha Hi-Lo and High, which are available in both limit, pot-limit and Texas Holdem in no-limit as well. Table stakes are from $0.5/$1 to $20/$40 in the fixed games, with $0.25/$0.50 up to $5/$10 in pot-limit and no-limit versions. (The fixed limit Omaha games have a bit lower maximum limits) There are both heads-up, sit-and-go and fixed schedule multi-table tournaments.

Rake:

Noble's rake is better then the industry average. The games here are soft.  The standard rake is 5% rake taken in increments up to $3. On several types of tables there are lower max rakes. On fixed limit tables up to $1/$2 there is a $1 max rake. More importantly all tables with 2-3 players have a max rake of $1 and tables with 4-5 players have a $2 max rake – which also includes no-limit and pot-limit short handed games! There is a "no flop - no drop" policy for hands not reaching the flop.

Soft competition: This is another one of the strong points from Noble Poker. Most of the players that play at Noble are your recreational gamblers, who plays lots of hands and play passive. Noble Poker's parent company PlayTech owns some of the top online casinos so they bring in a lot of casino players to Noble and you know those players are willing to gamble and usually with the worst of it.

Sign up bonus:

100% deposit match up to $800 is the biggest on the net, you won't find a bigger deposit bonus anywhere. Only hands where a player has put a wager counts as bonus releasing! There is a 90 day time limit to reach the required hands, with partial bonuses paid out in $10 increment during the period.
