Traffic & Game Variety

The iPoker network has the third largest number of players on the net. There is a lot of action in lower stakes tournaments and cash games. So in that sense, it's a great place for beginners. It is a great site for tournaments - scheduled, satellites, freerolls, sit-and-gos alike.

Competition

Competition can vary. Obviously, the lower the stakes the worse the players are. Compared to PokerStars and Full Tilt, there are probably more fish here.

Software

The interface is simple, but sleek, and looks very professional..

Support

Genting Poker has pretty good support, including live chat
