Overall: 4
Superior Poker is another site on a growing network that has received a good amount of exposure this past year, especially in Canada. Largely, they attract new players and the fish to shark ratio is extremely high. While they do offer a large 100% deposit bonus, the 10% option is actually more attractive to me unless you make this your main site of play. The software is pretty attractive and I think this is one of the better niche sites that offers a comfortable playing experience and very soft games.

Bonus: 4 (100% bonus)
I give Superior a pretty good score for this category for offering a 100% deposit bonus. However, you need to earn 16 Player Points per $1 of bonus money, which can take quite a while to clear. If you go through NETeller you can receive a special 10% deposit bonus which, by contrast, only requires 2 Player Points for every $1 of bonus. You can definitely work that off, so I recommend the smaller bonus if you usually play at lower stakes.

Promotions: 3.5
Other promotions at Superior include a fair number of small daily freerolls that really should be played as a secondary table. Still, at least they’re usually limited to 100 players to cut down on length. Also, they have an interesting WSOP step tournament satellite program that allows you to start at 4 cent buy-in events. These are single-table tournaments that reward top finishers with enough points to step up to the next level buy-in. After Level 6, a WSOP seat is rewarded to the winner. Also, they have a Refer-a-Friend program with $25 giveaways.

Fish: 4
The weak competition is probably the main reason to try out this niche poker network. The traffic is still relatively low, so you get to know the same Canadian fish who keep returning to the ring games night after night. Flop percentages often reach about 50% for full ring games and many players like to gamble and see cheap flops. You can play more drawing hands at Superior, if you can get in for cheap, and try to flop a monster. Much of the competition consists of calling stations, so you can usually get paid off pretty well when you do hit. Especially at the no-limit cash games, the competition is very soft and you’ll run into garbage hands and thin draws frequently.

Tournaments: 2
This is probably one area that Superior needs to develop most. The tournament action is mostly centered around Sit ‘n Gos and their WSOP Step tournaments. Occasionally, you can find a decent low-stakes event or a WPT satellite going on, which can be nice to play in at a smaller site because of the lower number of entrants. The schedule is usually pretty low, so I recommend playing here mostly for ring games and opening up a second site for increased tournament action.

Software: 4.5
I found the software very pleasing at Superior and give it a high score. The graphics are original and I like the size of the cards, which are easily read. The games move along at a fast pace, and I like the overall graphics. The lobby gives necessary information and lays out the games pretty logically. Also, they offer a bunch of bizarre poker variations like Pan, Guts, and even Chinese Poker so if you’re into any of those this is one of the few sites that carries it.

Best Features
-Niche site. You can usually get to know the players here and keep decent notes on them.
-Soft games. The tables seem full of loose players and calling stations.
-Good software. The game speed is quick and the graphics are well-detailed.

Cashouts: 4
NETeller cashouts were fine through Superior and I had my money within about 24-36 hours.

Customer Service: 4
Besides e-mail support, they offer a live chat feature which is available throughout the day. Since this is a 24 hour service for immediate answers, I give them a good score here.

Game Selection: Hold’em, Omaha, Stud, Guts, Chinese Poker, Big 2, Pan

Limits:  Fixed Limit: .10/.20 up to $50/100     No Limit: .05/.10 up to $5/10

Tips
At a site with a high flop percentage like Superior Poker, you’ll often get both the implied odds and the pot odds to play mediocre drawing hands like smaller suited connectors. If you do manage to connect with either a flush or straight with these lower cards you shouldn’t slowplay them – especially against a large field. One more card to a straight or flush may easily give someone a larger straight or flush so bet these hands hard when you do connect. Even a hand like a small two pair can easily become dominated if a second overcard hits the board so always be wary when you connect with small hands in large fields.
