Overall: 4.5
Noble Poker is a fairly new site on the iPoker network. They’re mostly known for their promotions, including their 50% deposit bonus for new players through our site. This bonus applies to players at all levels, but players with substantial bankrolls will appreciate the $250 you can earn in bonus money. Because of their aggressive promotion, this site largely seems to attract inexperienced players to populate tables. While I thought that the players here were very weak, we’ve also been receiving feedback from new players confirming that they have had an easy time beating these players. While most sites seem to be dominated by no-limit ring games, fixed limit players will appreciate the high number of tables also available to them. Overall, this site is a decent choice on a growing network.

Bonus: 5 (50% up to $250)
New players receive a 50% deposit bonus, which is good up to $250. Be sure to use any of our links to ensure that you receive the full 50% bonus as the standard bonus amount is lower. Noble gives you the first deposit bonus as "bonus money", and you’ll then earn Crowns via raked hands to convert the bonus money into cash. Of course, as you increase in stakes, you increase in Crowns earned. Micro-limit players may have a tough time working off the full bonus, but middle and higher stakes players shouldn’t have much trouble clearing the entire amount. New players also get an entry into their weekly $1,000 freeroll, which serves up some weak competition as it is only open to new players. Usually, only about 200-300 players will qualify so you have a realistic chance at taking a quick shot for a decent prize.

Promotions: 5
Noble is usually pretty heavy in the promotions department, and they’re running a good number at the moment. They’re publicizing a $100 Million freeroll, which is actually a $500k guaranteed tournament with jackpots up to $100 million for hitting a Royal Flush of Spades during the final table. Okay, so it’s an extreme long shot for the $100 million, but a $500k freeroll is still pretty nice. They are offering freeroll qualifiers and pretty cheap entries through Sit ‘n Gos and other satellites. They also have $15,000 and $25,000 prizes for players who win a number of consecutive Sit ‘n Go tourneys. Freeroll players will also appreciate the 3 daily $100 events. A better choice for a freeroll is the $1,000 weekly event for new depositing players. With a smaller number of more observant opponents, you stand a much better chance of actually taking some money away. 

Fish: 4.5
Since they run so many promotions aimed at bringing in new players, you’ll find a lot of inexperienced opponents at Noble tables. Most players are either weak-tight and can easily be dominated, or they’ll be over-aggressive and willing the shove all their chips in too often. Since they software has an “all-in” button, this helps to loosen up the action. The flop percentage is generally at or above 45%, and is still loose at the higher limits. Shorthanded table players will also find plenty of 6-handed tables here.

Tournaments: 4
Although the tournament traffic is fairly low on this newer network of sites, the typical number of entrants has been increasing as the player base grows. Of course, the lower buy-in events are usually the largest and will attract at least a couple hundred entrants. As mentioned earlier, new tournament players will like the daily freerolls open to everyone. These are mostly luck-based all-in fests, but it can help you learn the software. However, Noble does a pretty good job of trying to cater to the serious poker player and offers a number of middle-stakes buy-in events daily. Sit ‘n Go events are also fairly popular so you usually won’t have to wait long to play up to the $10 or $20 range.

Software: 4
The graphics are original to this network, and they’re fairly detailed blending both 2-D and 3-D elements into the overhead view. Noble players have the ability to choose an avatar at the table, although you only have a few choices. The game speed is pretty quick, running at about 50-60 hands/hour. Unfortunately, you’ll have to wade through a number of empty tables in order to find the active ones. At the table, I appreciate the fact that the chat box can easily be removed to avoid distractions. The hand history feature is also a big plus with this software package as it provides a detailed graphical interface. Overall, the software is solid with all the features you should need.

Best Features
-Big promotions offered regularly. They typically run big promotions to keep players interested in the site.
-Good deposit bonus. This is one of the better bonuses for players with a bankroll.
-Very beatable competition. We've received good feedback about these players being very sub-par.
-Solid software. The graphics are attractive and the hand history feature is unique.

Cashouts: 4.5
Noble has a strong financial backing and I haven’t run into any troubles with cashouts. My Neteller cashouts were always available by the next day.

Customer Service: 5
This site earns a top score for offering all the essential support options: telephone, live chat, and e-mail. While e-mails are handled quickly, why not use the live chat feature if you’re in a rush to get an answer? If you’re antisocial like I am, you’ll appreciate not having to verbally speak with anyone and you can open up the chat from within the software.
 

Game Selection: Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha H/L


Limits:    Fixed Limit: .02/.04 - $10/20     No Limit: .02/.04 - $5/10


Tips
As Noble is another loose online poker site, you’ll have to be aware of potential draws and most importantly, know when you’re beat. Hopefully, you’ll start off hands playing aggressively with your premium hands. However, 4 or 5 loose opponents may still stick around to see a flop. Let’s assume that in this hand you’re holding pocket Aces from the button. The flop comes out 9d-9c-10c for you and your 4 opponents. If a player before you bets the pot and another player reraises all-in with a decent stack, you should seriously consider dropping your hand. Not only will players at this site stay in for a raise with a 9, but one or both of them could be on a straight or flush draw. Your hand won’t be getting very good odds to beat out 2 draws, so you should realize that it’s time to get out of the hand. While it’s extremely tough to lay down pocket Aces, you’ll have to learn to do it occasionally against a lot of pressure from loose players.
