Littlewoods Poker Tournament Info
Littlewoods Poker have some good tournaments. They give away over $3.8m pounds in Guaranteed prize money each month. Most of the tournaments are NL hold'em with small buy-ins, but the biggest tournament of the week that draws in some good players and numbers is the 40K on Sunday which is a 110 + 10 buy-in.
The main plus point to Littlewoods Poker tournaments are their qualifications packages. Right now you can qualify via satellites for the EPT events.
In addition Littlewoods Poker run some lucrative Double Shootout events along with a new format tournaments, dubbed the Head Hunter tournaments. These are multi-table tournaments where players earn cash for every player they knock out. A percentage of the buyin is apportioned to each player. The more someone eliminates – the more cash they win, but also the bigger the target they become for the remaining players. These tournaments are quite fun and guaranteed to have some loose aggressive play.
The only tournament area that I feel that Littlewoods Poker let themselves down is with their Sit & Go's. Available from 1 up to 500 the SnG's available at Littlewoods Poker only give players 1000 in starting chips. I feel it would be much better if they ran both 1000 Starting Chips SnG's alongside the more traditional 1500 starting chips SnG's.
Overall Littlewoods Poker would be quite average for tournaments were it not for their great qualifying packages to land based events.
Littlewoods Poker Software
Littlewoods Poker are part of the Cassava network, who also provide the software for 888.com.
Overall the Littlewoods Poker site is well designed and pleasing on the eye. The lobby is brightly coloured in white and purple, which is a welcome change from some other online poker rooms who favour dark colours. The lobby is easily navigable too with important statistics salient; like flop percentages, average pot size and hands per hour etc. The only annoyance regarding the lobby is that the FL hold'em games are split into 3 different stakes menu, it would have been better to present them in one filterable menu.
The poker tables are also nice looking. Littlewoods Poker have gone away from the glitz and glam of large avatars or a 3D layout that some other rooms use. Instead there have a simple oval table design allowing fast, smooth, non-fussy gameplay – which I for one like.
The tables have nice functionality and there's a good option of showing a graphical display of the last hand. Also since a recent update last year, you can now play up to 12 tables at once, thanks to the "mini mode" view available. The mini mode tables are surprisingly clear and make multitabling a lot easier.
Another features that people tend to like at Littlewoods Poker is that you can play in multiple currencies: Euros, GBP or US$.
Overall the software has been vastly improved after the update, Littlewoods Poker provides users with a well designed site which allows smooth, fast gameplay.
