TigerGaming Traffic

Tigergaming has around 65,000 registered poker players from all around the globe which definitely makes up for a vibrant online poker community. This means there will be plenty of traffic, especially on the lower stakes.

At peak hours you can expect to find around 20 tables of NL25, 10 tables of NL50 and NL100, about 5 tables of NL200 and NL400 and a couple of NL1K tables.
 
Tournaments are plenty and you can expect best tournaments with great guaranteed prize pools on Sundays.

TigerGaming Software

Let’s face it, Tigergaming software is not one of the best around, but the soft games and traffic surely compensate for that. The software still does a good job to deliver a somewhat enjoyable poker experience.

At the TigerGaming tables you'll find two popular features - Straddle and All-in Cashout.

What is a Straddle?
A straddle is a type of bet that a player voluntarily places before the cards are dealt in a game. It is usually placed to the left of the big blind and is often twice the size of the big blind. When a player decides to straddle, they become the last to act before the flop, and the first person to act is the player on their left.

Straddling in poker can make the game more exciting for several reasons, as it increases the stakes of the game, leading to bigger pots and more opportunities to win or lose a lot of money. This can be thrilling for players who enjoy gambling.

What is All-in Cashout
The All-In Cash Out feature is an innovative addition that minimizes the variance associated with playing cash games.

With this feature, you have the option to purchase the equity of your hand at any point before the river when facing an all-in situation. When you choose to Cash Out, TigerGaming calculate each player’s probability to win the pot and assign them a cash out value and you will have the option to:
-Collect the cash out amount without the option to play for the pot further. The funds will be paid once the hand completes.
-Decline and continue playing as usual.

There is a 1% fee on the value of your hand that is deducted as the cost of using this feature. You have at least 10 seconds to decide if you want to CASH OUT or RESUME the hand as normal.
