Cake Poker was founded in early 2006 and is the flagship site of the Cake Poker Network offering high-end software, solid game selection and great promotions that you just won't find on other networks. They allow players from the U.S. and lay claim to one of the highest credit card acceptance rates in the industry.

The Cake Poker Network has a number of members including PowerPoker, PlayersOnly Poker and Sportsbook Poker that help keep the tables full at Cake Poker. The most important member of the Cake Poker Network for our purposes here is of course Sportsbook. Sportsbook offers an online casino and sports book, in addition to their online poker room and bring a significant number of degenerate casino gamblers and sports betters into the fold of the Cake Poker Network and, by default, Cake Poker.

Cake Poker holds an old school philosophy towards poker; as such, they do not support PokerTracker. In addition, they allow players to change their nickname on a weekly basis preventing people from maintaining detailed player notes on you. PokerTracker and player notes are both tools for evening out the playing field between beginners and more experienced players. Cake Poker's philosophy plays to the advantage of the more experienced player. Great software, a wealth of degenerate gamblers and an old school philosophy make Cake Poker an excellent place for an experienced player to supplement their income.

For a site with only 8,000 players at peak hours, Cake Poker has deceptively good action. The majority of the traffic on Cake Poker is concentrated around the mid to low stakes tables and you'll find a good amount of both full ring and short-handed tables available. Texas Hold'em is, by far, the most popular game on Cake Poker, as should be expected from a site catering to US players, but you will generally find enough mid/low stake Omaha games running to keep you going. The games are very soft at Cake Poker and the fish abound.
