Poker 770

Poker770 is part of the iPoker network, which features many great sites.

Poker770 is primarily a French site, but can be used in most languages.

This site offers a large selection of Freerolls, promotions, bonuses and special satellite programs to make it to the EPT, WPT and WSOP. The site has an extensive section that covers "Team 770." This is the team of sponsored players on the site, and includes Fabien Barthez as a spokesperson. Guess what? You too can actually become a member of the Team by using this site, and get to travel and play with the pros!

This site is in on a big network so it has solid traffic overall, especially in peak hours. The graphics are not the best, and the lobby is old-fashioned, but the games are good. The bonuses and promotions are good, so it is worth a download, especially for players in France and other French speaking countries. There is also a casino attached to the site, so if poker isn't enough to satisfy, there are always the casino games.

Poker 770 has good action at all times in its cash games. They provide the usual games: Holdem, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, 7 Card Stud, and 5 Card Stud. These are available in No Limit, Limit and Pot Limit structures. They have full ring games in addition to 6 handed or heads-up tables. Poker770 also has 'turbo' cash tables enabling many hands per hour. The limits range from $0.02c-$0.04c to $300-$600, so there is something for everyone.
Most of the traffic is concentrated in the middle to lower spectrum; however there are bigger games readily available.

The SnGs are unique on this site, and this is due to the enormous amount of satellite and promotional tournaments available. There are of course normal tournaments that range in the amounts from $0.12 to $1050, and come in all the games the room offers. The regular one table SnGs are 10 or 6 handed. There is also 20 and 30 person SnGs. The satellite SnGs vary in size and structure more, depending on the event it's targeting. There are enough satellites of different kinds to provide options for qualification, which is always a bonus.

The crux of the Multi Table Tournaments on Poker770 revolves around Satellite entries to the WSOP, tournaments around Europe and of course the ECOOP. The tournaments here start as high a $1060, and go all the way down to the micro limits. They showcase rebuy and regular tournaments and hold Freerolls for the new and recreational players. The tournaments are easy to find in the lobby, and start often. Generally the players are not very solid, so winning a MTT isn't as difficult as some of the other big sites on the market.

The European Championship of Online Poker is a 10 day competition with a different main event every day, with an overall prize money guarantee of $3.6 million. The goal is to determine the best online tournament players in Europe. Each winner gets a bracelet, and huge chunk of cash and a shot in a 50k freeroll with all the other winners to determine the ECOOP MVP. There are countless SnG and MTT satellites for these events, so you could try to get in pretty cheaply.

As mentioned before, the graphics might leave something to be desired. They are not bad or anything, they are just not modern. Who needs crazy graphics to play poker though right? The fishiness of the tables makes up for simple graphics any day of the week!
The avatars at the table are good 3D graphics, and the animations are pretty basic. Navigation is simple, and nothing is hard to find.
The speed of the actual games is good, and the hand history feature is nice. They have note taking and friend finding features too which are useful. Overall the interface and playability is modest and efficient.

Poker770 support consists of phone, email and live chat support. The support is quite fast, efficient and friendly.
The cashier is easy to use and find, and depositing and withdrawing is done efficiently.

This site is especially recommended to people in France, as it is aimed at them primarily. It does have something for everybody, and hopefully will expand even more into other areas.
The traffic is good, and the game play is smooth and comfortable. The graphics are basic, but are not a negative so it not a big deal.

If you are a player that wants to try and parlay some satellites into the biggest tournament entries, this is most definitely a site you want to take a crack at.
