Bluff Room Online Poker Features

Bluff Room is the most innovative and revolutionary poker room in the industry! We offer Typical Poker Features found in traditional poker rooms and Special Poker Features unique to Bluff Room. Enhance your online poker experience!

Often in a poker game the hand finishes before you can see the flop, turn or river, and sometimes you cannot help wandering what cards would have come down if you stayed in the hand. On Bluff Room you have the chance to see those cards, this is called Rabbit Hunting.

In most poker tournaments, especially live tournaments this is not allowed, but sometimes curiosity is just too strong or you want to show your opponent your bluff, either way on Bluff Room the choice is yours!

This feature is for the more experienced poker players, the ones that calculate pot odds; very popular in high stakes cash poker. Bluff Room is one of the few online poker rooms to have this amazing feature. This is how it works:

Sometimes the pot is very big and perhaps you are not as confident with your hand as you would wish, but you go all in after the flop. At this point if both players agree, you can Deal it Twice. This gives you more chances to improve your hand, for example you might want to take this option if you have a flush draw. Remember, both players have to agree!

You can have this feature turned off, if you wish, but if you don't and you go all in with your opponent you will need to make a decision after the flop.

Conditions:

• Only available in real money games No Limit Texas Holdem
• Exactly two players active in the pot and all-in
• Both players have to agree
• Can only be used with pre flop and post flop all-in
• Only on selected stakes tables. Check the tables with that option

When you want a quick poker game and you know what you want play, click the "Quick Start" box on the left side of the lobby, and you are in online poker expert mode.

Now just choose your game, table type, stakes and minimum players at the table and click "play now". You will be taken directly in the game you want. To go back to Quick Start just click on the News tab.

This is another key feature to deceive your opponent. In real money live poker games you have the option to show one or both your cards. Bluff Room has just made it possible for online poker too.

When you want to show an Ace on a big lay down, or if you simply want to show a bluff, on Bluff Room we give you the choice to show both your cards or even one card of your choice!

An Accolade is the online poker term for trophy. On Bluff Room you get to see who are the most experienced poker tournament players, just by looking at their avatar on the table.

Every time you win a poker tournament you get a customized trophy or ribbon. From snowmen for our winter tournament, a turkey for Thanksgiving to stars that award you for regular playing.

Whatever your screen size may be, with Bluff Room online poker we make the difference. By using the best technology available, all graphics are crisp and clear with our vector graphics, no matter what size screen or to what size windows you decide to play, the poker experience remains the same!

You can now decide to have extra time to think during a poker hand. Simply click on the Time Bank when you time is about to run out, if you need it.

Time bank can vary depending on the type of tournament; the remaining time available after the hand will be saved for the next time you want to use this option. This will also prevent players form waiting time. In cash games the time bank will reload as you play more hands.

By playing in our online poker tournaments and cash games, you will earn Bluff VIP Points that you can use to enter private freeroll tournaments, exchange for cash or shop in the best online poker store.

Every $1 in rake will earn you 10VIP Points.

When you want to play several poker tournaments or cash games at once, simply click the "Settings" button, followed by the window tab and your preferences. Perfect for playing multi table even if if you feel like mixing a freeroll with a game of blackjack!

Bluff Room gives you a chance to express your emotions quickly and easily, even in online poker, with our Poker Smiles. Use the traditional smilie faces or...

...you can discover animated smilies by typing your favourite poker terms into the chat, for example if you type fish, you will see a shark getting ready to have his meal, or donkey and you will magically see an animated donkey coming to life! Discover more on Bluff Room tables!

As with live poker also in online poker is good knowing your opponents, and with Bluff Room, you can keep notes on your opponents so that you will know what you are up against when you play against them again. The notes you take are stored on your computer so that they will be there when you log in again later.

Just double click a player's name plate and the notes window will open. You can also choose a tag icon, to identify him as a bluffer, fish for the next time you play poker with them. You can also tag players from the lobby and check when they are online.

Most of us have a system, even if we don't know it. If you know your system and you need to keep track of how you play, you will need statistics. You can see a quick summary of how many hands you are folding, how often you are seeing the flop, among other things. If you are used to using this tool, you will be glad to know it is here, ready for you.

If you want to review how you played one of the hands you have just played in or watched, just click the Hand History button, and you get a list of recent hands, where you can review how the play went.

For older hands, or for games you have closed, use our statistics window to request hand histories for the last hour, day or week.

Not ready to play with real money? Well, don't worry. We have play money games that are every bit as exciting as the real money games. You get 1000 play money chips, and you can top these up several times in a day, so don't worry too much about losing them.

All connections in Bluff Room are over TLS (SSL v3), the internet standard for secure communication. This is the same method that you will use for logging into an internet bank, or buying from an on-line store. This level of encryption will stop people from listening in on your communications.

Our shuffle uses a Mersenne-Twister PRNG with a seed of 4992 bytes. This can perform all 52! Permutations of a deck shuffle, so that cards cannot be predicted on the basis of cards already dealt. Further to this, the seed is periodically modified with truly random entropy from several sources, including data sent from member usage patterns.

Sometimes we all think we should have more control over what we spend in life, besides just will power. You may not have a problem with gambling, but still not trust yourself. That is why we have added some safety features that can be found under the Account window. You can exclude yourself for a week if you think you need a bit of time away from poker. Once you do this, you cannot log in for a week, try as you like. You can set yourself a monthly buy in limit. This means that within a month, if you are tempted to go just a little bit over your budget, we will not let you. And last, but certainly not least, you can have someone you trust set a password that is needed to buy chips. So you can play poker with the money in your account using your normal password, but to buy more chips, you need to have this trusted person enter their 'Partner Password' to allow you to spend more. At Bluff Room, we take the issue of problem gambling very seriously. We want all our members to be happy and have fun, and you cannot do that if you are worried about losing money you need. If you think you have a gambling problem, we suggest you seek professional advice.

What if the game you want is just not available? Well, simple: you can create it. You can create games with your choice of blinds, limit and seats. Call it what you want, and if you like: set a password and invite friends so that only people you know can play at it.
