Everest Poker Review

Everest Poker are notable for three key reasons. Firstly this site focused on international markets early – and so has a huge multi-country player base and software in more than 20 languages. Secondly, unlike other poker sites the blinds are equal – so instead of a 50c / $1 game you will be sitting in a $1 / $1. Third, no split pot games run, so this review is for those who love profitable Pot-Limit Omaha High games only.

Omaha games are soft at this site, with a great selection of PLO available as well as occasional fixed limit games. Sit n Goes (including double-up and triple-up) and tournaments also run in PLO format.

Bonuses And Promotions

We like the way that Everest keep things simple. You get a €200 matched deposit bonus on your first deposit (no special code required for this) to get you off to a flying start. The main ongoing bonuses then involve collecting points from your real money play. These are called Summit Points and can be exchanged for tournament entries or cash bonuses.

There are plenty of one-off promotions including reload bonuses and satellites to live poker events in many countries – as well as the bigger events like the WSOP, which Everest are actually a key sponsor of.

Omaha Cash Games

With the unusual equal blinds, the pots start that little bit larger at Everest Poker, which is great for those who enjoy the action. PLO games start with blinds at 2c / 2c and has games up to $20 / $20. As usual the lower to mid-limits (up to $2 / $2) are the busiest, with the higher stakes action getting moving in the EU evenings and at weekends. Table sizes are 2, 6 and 10 players.

Omaha at Everest is considerably softer than at some of the larger sites, reflecting the recreational player base here. This shows in the average pot size and % to flop in the lobby, which are both higher than the other major sites at the time of writing.

Omaha Tournaments And SNGs

You will find plenty of action at the $10 and under levels in both SNG tournaments and the larger multi-table games at Everest Poker. Again we are restricted to Omaha High only. Double or nothing SNGs run in Omaha format and triple-up SNGs also – these are 6-max games with 2 equal prizes for 1st and 2nd. While Everest is not a destination for serious Omaha tournament fans – those who enjoy lower to mid levels games with soft opposition will find some good choices here.

Final Thoughts And Next Steps

Well, Everest really only do one thing very well – provide extremely profitable PLO high-only cash games. If you like your cash games soft then this site are definitely worth a look, you could clear your 100% to €200 welcome bonus while you see how much difference an international (and very much recreational) player base makes.
