Cake Poker offers the typical line-up of poker game modes. The most prominent one is obviously Texas Hold'em with No Limit, Pot Limit and Fixed Limit. Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud and 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo is available, but 'Cake Poker missing turbo action.

Soft Competition


New poker rooms often attract the loose players who tend to fit in the fish category quite well. Cake Poker's common player is no exception. Even $1/$2 tables reveal players per flop as high as 60 % and beyond. The low stake play is very loose as it always is, but never above 80 %.
